00:00Let's go.
00:41Okay, so this is the epoxy and you're putting in some of that?
00:44Yep, the pigment.
00:45The pigment, oh my goodness.
00:45So this is what the base layer is going to be.
00:49Watch how this black resin makes all of those colors in the octopus.
00:54What's the other one here?
00:55Gold?
00:56So now we've got a little bit of gold.
00:58Oh my god, that's a lot.
00:59Yep, and we just mix.
01:02And watch how they kind of transform.
01:04Look at that.
01:04It looks a little powdery right now, a little chunky.
01:07But as I stir, this will become so opaque, so beautiful.
01:12Look at that.
01:13Do you see all the beautiful colors coming through?
01:16Yeah, you're going to take those and those are going into here.
01:18Yeah, all right.
01:19So now that they're mixed, you can see that consistency in there.
01:22So we're going to use the black as our base.
01:24Let's do it.
01:25First, we're going to fill up the head and let it spread throughout.
01:28There we go.
01:29Oh my goodness.
01:30It's going to look so beautiful when this thing dries.
01:32Just kind of use a small base.
01:34Yep.
01:35You want to get it in the legs.
01:37Mm-hmm.
01:37This is going to be important.
01:39Mm-hmm.
01:42There we go.
01:44Beautiful.
01:44Spread it over to the sides.
01:46Mm-hmm.
01:46And it kind of just fills itself in, which is nice.
01:49Get that last leg.
01:51Mm-hmm.
01:51There we go.
01:53And now what we want to do is take a...
01:56See, the pattern's going to be so epic.
01:58I am so excited.
02:00And we just want to make sure that we're swirling the top
02:02because we want the legs to be their individual colors,
02:05but then the epic swirls are going to come in.
02:09Let's do that gold.
02:10It's almost full.
02:11Yep.
02:11We're going to do the gold.
02:12I just want to make sure that we have a good bottom base layer.
02:15Yeah.
02:16So fill in those legs.
02:18You see the rim of the mold?
02:20There's still room for the gold?
02:21There is.
02:22There's always room for gold.
02:25So you see the rim of the mold?
02:28Mm-hmm.
02:28You want to make sure that it's fully filled to the top.
02:31Otherwise, this won't work.
02:32Mm-hmm.
02:33So I think we've done that.
02:35Look at this.
02:37So this is just the backside.
02:38Mm-hmm.
02:39On the other side of the octopus, some amazing things are happening.
02:42But this is mixing through to the bottom,
02:44so we should see some of this kind of mix of colors come through when it comes out, huh?
02:49Exactly.
02:49We just want to make sure that we don't have any of these powdery chunks right there.
02:54You want to make sure that those are fully set.
02:57So there we go.
02:58Right.
02:59Now we're going to take our gold.
03:01Oh, I'm excited for the gold.
03:02And we take a tongue suppressor.
03:06Mm-hmm.
03:06We just grab a little bit.
03:08Mm-hmm.
03:09And create these little lines, these golden lines that show up really nicely.
03:15I can see that's dripping through the bottom of it.
03:17So when we take this thing out, we should see some of that gold in the middle of it.
03:20Yeah, the gold is the heaviest, so it sinks right to the bottom.
03:23Mm-hmm.
03:24But it will show up.
03:26Mm-hmm.
03:26There we go.
03:27Okay.
03:29So just take one more glance at this intricate detail, and this will set,
03:34and we're going to pop it out and show you the other side.
03:37Can't wait.
03:37All right, so here is the final piece.
03:42It's hardened, and you can tell it's coming out quite nicely.
03:46You can see on this backside, which is really interesting,
03:49that the black stayed on the top.
03:51There's a little bit of swirls, but it's on this other side, the front,
03:55where the eyes are and the tentacles and all of this.
03:58It's going to be so colorful, and just look at all of that detail.
04:03Let's see it.
04:03So let's pop it out right now.
04:05Here we go.
04:06Can I get that head out?
04:09Oh, yeah, this is going to come out really nicely.
04:12You can see a little blue on the head.
04:14Yeah.
04:15It's going to be great.
04:16Be a little bit careful.
04:18You see with the tentacles?
04:19Mm-hmm.
04:20You want to be very gentle when pulling them off.
04:25Get those legs out, and then pull.
04:29There we go.
04:30Wow.
04:30All right.
04:31Here it is.
04:32Start off up here.
04:33Pull, pull, pull, pull.
04:35All right.
04:36So here we go.
04:37Last little bit.
04:38We do want to be very gentle with this one.
04:41Oh, you can see it bend a little.
04:41Can you see that?
04:42Yep.
04:42This is the most fragile tentacle.
04:45We want to get it out without harming the leg.
04:48There we go.
04:51And perfect.
04:53Okay, we'll just clear up some of this stuff.
04:55You see the excess?
04:56Mm-hmm.
04:57We want it to be really sharp lines, but that stuff just peels right off.
05:02So we'll just do this.
05:03There we go.
05:06And look at the detail on this.
05:12Now, you can see right here that this has got a little bit of that excess, but I actually
05:19think it looks great, so I'm going to keep it.
05:21I love it.
05:23So cool.
05:23All the colors, all the details.
05:25Look right there.
05:26Get a close-up of that.
05:27All those colors meshing together.
05:29It's just beautiful.
