1. Introduction : Raisin trays are custom
trays made from molding sin. These trays are
unique and stylish. Making these DIY trays is
a great way to add style, interest, and a custom touch to your room decor
or your kitchen. Hi, my name is Damini and
I'm an artist from Mumbai. I have been teaching
painting since 2018 and have taught thousands of
students in physical workshops. Now I'm so excited
to teach online. In this course, I'll
guide you through different steps involved
in this process. By following these steps, you can easily make a
unique and pretty tray at the comfort of your home. In this class, we
will see how to assemble and arrange art
materials carefully, sin and hardno proportion, how to add pigments
to the mixture, pour raisin layer into the mold, safety precautions
when working with sin, how to use a heat gun, how to cure sin, and finally adding handles. By the end of this class, you should be
confident to create these kind of trays
in your own way. You create stylish, creative, and beautiful trays by
combining them with different materials and
creating different shapes. The sin provides endless
possibilities for you to customize these trays and
suit them with your style. I invite you to join
me for the course. Look forward to seeing
you inside the class.
2. Safety measures : There are a few safety
precautions that you have to keep in mind
when working with sin. The first thing is always
cover your hands with gloves. Avoid any sin contact
with skin, mouth, or eyes, wear a safety mask or a respirator when
working with raisin. Raisin art is also not
for pregnant women, so pregnant women are not
advised to work with raisin. Cover your table or floor
with a plastic sheet. Keep your pets away from raisin. Whenever you work with sin, keep your surroundings
ventilated. Keep the doors or
the windows open. RasinAt is only for adults. Kids are not allowed to do it.
3. Art Materials : Namaste. In this class, we are going
to see the materials required to make sin tray and
coasters in silicon molds. So the first thing that we
have is the silicon mold, which is rectangular
zig zag shaped mold. Dimensions are nine by 12 " then the colors that we are going to use
today is purple color. Then we have the cream color. So we are going to
use two colors today. Then we have the paper cups, so this is a bigger paper cup, and these are the
smaller paper cups, which we are going to use
to split our sin mixture. Then we have the sticks, so these are the sticks. Then I have the heat gun. So this one is the
heat gun which I will use to burst the bubbles. Then we have the gloves. Of course, gloves
are a mandatory for any raisin
artwork that you do. So these are the materials
which we are going to use, and then we also have
Raisin and Hardner. So we are going to use raisin, and then I have Hardner. So this is about the materials. See you in the next class.
4. Mixing ratio and proportion : Welcome to the class. Now in this class, we are going to see how
we have to mix raisin and harder mixture and then how we pour the
mixture in our mold. So before starting, we
are going to put on the gloves so that nothing
sticks on my hand. Okay. Now I'm going to take
sin and hardener in our cup. Now, for this tray, I'm going to take sin and hardener in three is
to one proportion. Okay? So this is just
to show you that we can work with different kinds of
sin for different purposes. Okay? So for some projects, we can use two is to one or three is to one or one
is to one proportion. All right. So first, I'm going to take reason. This is reason. I will take the bigger cup and I will pour. Now, this is three
to one proportion. That means three parts of
reason and one part of hardner. Okay, so that was three parts of reason and now one
part of hard nerve. Now I'm going to use
the mixing stick to mix our liquids,
basin and hadner. So while stirring, I may
just remove the glove. I just stir. Just make sure you mix
the mixtures very well. Otherwise, some part
of it may be unmixed, and then the tray might
not get fully hardened. So we are going to mix both the liquids
very well thoroughly. This part is really
very important. We cannot skip this part. And before you start, just make sure you see the time for how long you're
stirring the mixture. So this depends on which
brand you use for this brand, we are going to mix this
liquid for about 3 minutes. So as we have discussed in our previous videos
that mixing time, stirring time, everything will be different for
different brands. So whichever brand you go for, make sure you read
the instructions. So now we are going to stir
it for some more time. And it's turning out
to be pretty nice. The mixture is
getting mixed well. Oh Make sure you move just in one direction and do not keep on
changing the direction. So wherever you decide to do, make sure you cover the
floor or the table with a plastic sheet or with a paper or whichever
you think is good. So the one that I'm using is reusable plastic that I have been using for
quite a long time. You can just reuse this
over and over again. Or you can cover the floor with the newspaper or anything
else that you have, and the floor should
not be tilted. Otherwise, all the sin mixture
will start flowing towards one side if the floor or
the table is not in level. And one of the
great ways to focus your concentration entirely on your artwork is to have
a clean, nice space. A clean space is really crucial if you want
your artwork to come out very nice because you need your focus and attention
to make whatever you make. So if you are not
distracted by many things, then it would be easier to
focus just on your artwork. Also a clean space gives you very nice feeling and
good positive feeling. So I am mixing this thoroughly
and making sure that I take the resin from the wall of the cup to
the bottom of the cup. Oh Okay, so it's almost 3 minutes. Whenever you do this, make sure you read the instructions of
whichever brand you go for. If it's 3 minutes, then stir for 3 minutes. If it's 4 minutes, then
stir for 4 minutes. If it's 10 minutes, 15 minutes, you will have
to stir accordingly. Again, if the mixture
is not stirred well, your artwork may not dry. So here we are. The mixture is ready. So in this class, we learnt how to mix resin and hardener in three is
to one proportion. See you in the next class.
5. Pouring : In this class, we are
going to see have to split colors and then pour the
mixture in our tray. So I'm going to put
the gloves first, and now I'm going to split this mixture which we
made in different cups. Now, for this artwork, I'm going to use two colors. Okay? So one is purple. Then I'm going to
use cream color. And I'm going to use
transparent resin. All right. So here, I have blue
and white and purple. Okay, so I'm going to keep all
of them in equal quantity. Okay, now we are going to
take colors one by one. So this one is purple color. Um the quantity would be 10% to the quantity of
sin and hardener mixture. Oops, I just dropped some
color which I will clean. So this is the purple color which I have just
added to the mixture. Now I'm going to
take cream color. Again, 10% quantity of the color to the
quantity of the mixture. All right. Now, we are going to stir
the mixture one by one. So you can start with any color, whichever you want and just make sure there are no
blobs of color left. So I'm just mixing
the color very well, making sure there
is no blob left. So it just takes about ten to 15 seconds to
do this part for each color. And then I'm going to move
on to the purple shade. Again, mixing for about
ten to 15 seconds, making sure there are no blobs. So we have to do
this very carefully. And All right. So I have both the
colors ready with me, and now I'm going to
pour them one by one. So I'm going to take this
tissue paper and just try to wipe off this purple which
I have mistakenly poured. So these are some
of the things which might happen with
your project as well. So this is how we are going to fix the errors that we make. Okay, so now we are going to
start pouring our mixture. So we are going to start
with the purple color. This one is a purple color. First, we are going to pour the purple colour on
the edges this way. Making thin line like this. And to cover up these parts, I am going to take the
stick and make sure that all the edges are well
covered this way. I need to pour some
more mixture here. All right. And this is how we spread our mixture and make sure all the edges
are well covered. If you think that the reason
is less at some spot, you can take the
mixture and pour more. Okay? So here we have
cold purple color. Now I'm going to take
the cream color and start pouring the mixture right after the purple
colour this way. So if you think that you
should pour more raisin, then you can put more raisin. Like this. Okay. And then again, I'm going to put some purple colour
very thin line like this. And I will just
spread the colors. Now, it's totally fine that if two colors get merged
with each other, that's not an issue. Eventually, this happens
because sin is a liquid. So this is how you
spread one color. If you think you might need
some more color somewhere, then you can just add some
more color tern this way. And then I'm going to
take some more purple And then, again, I'm going
to take some cream colour. This way. And then I'm going to use the transparent
color transparent resin mixture which we had, and I'm going to just put that
transparent in the center. This way. And then we have covered the entire tray
mold with a color, and the remaining
colors that we have, I'm just going to
utilize all of them So you can just take
out anything that's left and just add it. I'm just making sure
that nothing goes waste. So I'm just pouring this color randomly just to make
a unique design. So this is optional, if
you want, you can do. Otherwise, just go with the pattern that we
were earlier making. And I have some more
transparent reason, which I'll just pure all over. All right, so we have
poured all our sin, and now we are going to move
on to the designing part.
6. Design : Now we are going to see
how to make the design. Now, taking the stick and
holding it like this. And we are going to
drag the resin from the outer edge to the
inner part this way. Like this. So after doing it for
a couple of times, I'm just going to take the
tissue paper and just clean the stick so that there's
no color stuck on the top, and then do the
same thing again, moving from the outer edge
to the inner edge this way. So it's really fun. That's how we do. And then I'm just going to take some purple colour and put the purple color in
the center this way, And then I'm just going to take the stick and drag from the inner edge to
the outer edge. This way. So we have created our design. Now we will just
make sure there are no edges which are
uncovered as in just make sure that the walls are
completely touched with sin, and there's no empty spot left. And now I'm just going to use a heat gun and hover
over the heat gun. Leave it to dry for a day
or two and then demuld it. Take out the tray from the mold. That is called demulding. So we have made our first layer of raisin now, just make sure that it is very undisturbed and untouched and make sure nothing falls on this. Otherwise, whatever falls
will also get stuck to it. So just make sure
there's nothing stuck on this
particular artwork. So I'm going to keep this
at a very safe place, and I'm going to cover this
with something that I have. Or if you don't have
anything to cover, make sure you keep at
a place which is away from dust or any other
exposure to particles. You can leave it as it is
and use it as a platter, or you can stick
the handles to it. Oh
7. Final Outcome : So now we are going to
see from the close up, how it has turned out. So as you see, these are very
beautiful patterns formed. Leave it for a day or two
for it to dry completely. We used purple and cream
color to get this effect. So it's looking really,
very beautiful. And I will just show you that there are no edges
which are uncovered. See, I have covered
all the edges. The area which is very close to the boundary or the
wall of the mold, see everything is well covered. While you make this,
just make sure once or twice that no
area is left uncovered. So this is a transparent
color, the transparent resin, which we poured in the center, which is creating this
beautiful effect, creedy effect, if
you can just see. I'm just bringing you
closer to the artwork, it's looking creedy Just see
how beautifully it's made, how beautiful it has turned
out. It looks three. Some of the patterns that
are formed are kind of transparent or translucent
or very thin in appearance, which is, so this is how
we have made our sin tray.
