The Art of Sculpting with Pressure: A Journey of Trial and Error

As we stood before the modified pressure pot, originally designed as a painting tank, we couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and trepidation. Our mission was to create a sculpture using this unconventional tool, and we were determined to make it work. The pot, rated to 90 PSI, was being pressure-tested to ensure its safety and reliability.

We began by covering the valve with tape, a precautionary measure to prevent any unexpected releases of air or pressure. As we waited for the pressure to build up, we couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. What would happen when we finally released the air? Would our sculpture take shape as expected, or would it collapse under its own weight? The uncertainty was palpable.

With the safety valve in place, we slowly began to release the air, listening carefully for any signs of stress or strain on the pot. It wasn't until we heard that loud hissing sound that we knew we were ready to proceed. Hearing protection was put on, and with a deep breath, we opened every single valve, just in case.

As we waited for the sculpture to set, we took a moment to admire our handiwork. The mold, filled with a thick pour of resin, seemed to be taking shape before our very eyes. But little did we know, a problem was brewing. A huge bubble had formed on one of the parts, and it didn't look like a planet at all. We were stumped.

"What if it doesn't release from the plastic?" I asked, my voice laced with concern. My partner thought for a moment before suggesting that we try using a heat gun to coax the bubble out. With caution, we applied the heat gun to the affected area, and slowly but surely, the bubble began to dissipate.

In a surprising turn of events, the bubble released from the silicone part perfectly, revealing an asteroid-like shape beneath. It was as if the metal nano robots had left their mark on our sculpture, adding an extraterrestrial flair to its design. We couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all.

As we pondered what to do next, I suggested polishing up the sculpture or creating another one. My partner seemed perplexed by my suggestion, and we both stood in silence for a moment, contemplating our next move. And then, without warning, the air pockets right where I had squeezed the white began to release, causing the sculpture to "fart" in slow motion.

In that moment, we realized that this was no ordinary art project. It was an exercise in creativity, experimentation, and even a bit of chaos theory. The pressure pot had become an unpredictable partner, pushing us to think outside the box and explore new possibilities. And as we stood there, surrounded by the hissing sounds and the scent of resin, we knew that this was just the beginning of our artistic journey.

The sculpture, now exposed for all to see, seemed to be telling us a story – one of exploration, discovery, and even a bit of invasion. The metal nano robots had left their mark on Earth, leaving behind a relic of their passage. And as we looked upon this strange creation, we couldn't help but wonder what other secrets it held.

With the sculpture now fully vented and set, we took a step back to admire our handiwork. It was a work in progress, to say the least – a fusion of art and science that defied conventions. And as we stood there, surrounded by the tools and materials of our craft, we knew that this was just the beginning of an extraordinary adventure.

The sculpture would undergo many transformations before its completion, but one thing was certain – it had captured our hearts and minds with its unique blend of creativity and unpredictability. As we looked upon the asteroid-like shape, now freed from the bubble's grasp, we knew that this was a piece of art like no other – a testament to the power of experimentation and the beauty of chaos theory.

In the end, it didn't matter what we named our sculpture or how it came to be. What mattered was the journey we had taken to get there – a journey of trial and error, of creativity and experimentation. And as we stood before this strange creation, surrounded by the trappings of our craft, we knew that this was just the beginning of an extraordinary adventure in the world of art.

We'reEvan and Katelyn,and today we'regonna be exploringthe wonderful adventures inspace and resin and time.Time?It's gonna take time to do.(laughs)We are gonna make resinplanets using thesespherical molds.Thesemolds that are for whiskeyice cream?(both laugh)Ice cubes! Ice cubes.So that's like what adultsuse these for typically?Yes.Y'know we've had a lot of likepretty heavy D.I.Y.projects lately.(frustrated yells)And today we wantsomething just kind of fun,chill, maybe using a newtool that could explodeif we don't do itright, but generallyfun and chill.I'm just, like, imaginingflash forwards hereof just likeeverything going wrong.Are we jinxingourselves right now?No no no.(sounds of panic)This is gonna be a nice, justlike fun hang out project.All right, so what'sthe first step Katelyn?Oh, I don't know.Ah.() This video issponsored by Squarespace.From websites and onlinestores, to marketing toolsand analytics, Squarespaceis the all-in-one platformto build a beautifulonline presenceand run your business.Okay, so we haven'treally explained thespecifics of what we're doing.No, no.I think that like,lets go one at a timeso there isn't like,the chaos of like a dualresinexperiment.Well, it's kind of athick mold, so we worrythat if we do itat the same time,it's gonna startcuring really fastand we won't be able toget footage of each other.So yeah, one at a time.And I think that I'm gonnastart with an Earth-likeplanet.Not the planetEarth-like?Not the planet Earth withits specific continentsbut like,bluesand whitesand greensand browns.I feel like it shouldstill have like,continent-ish shapes at least.And like, cloud-ish shapes.You can't just have like,a swirlof green and blue.You have to at leastattempt land blobs.(restrained laughter)All right, well let's just,you know what?I'm not gonna setmy expectations,let's just have funand let's just do it.Okay. So that's your deep ocean.Yeah.This is your other deep ocean.Whoa. Okay.(laughs)Why are you makingthose doubting noises,you're making me doubt myself.It just seemed likeyou would add the darkto the darker blue.I know. I know. I panicked.(laughs)The light to the lighter blue.Okay you got grass.And then our clouds over here.I worry there'snot enough white,probably shouldhave done less brownI know.And more white.I know. I know.It's okay. It doesn't matter.Its just, you know.It doesn't matter.I'm not gonna mix the blue andblack that much.I want like a littlebit of variation.Kind of like our marble resin?That's some darkoceans right there.A chunky ocean.I know.(laughs)And then the lowly white.I'm gonna start withthe polar south,it's a little bit white.So, I have a question.Yeah.With these molds,how do you do it?Like, it's twohalves of a circle.Yeah.Does one kinda justsquish in to the other?Yes.Okay. So we'll havesome over squish.You know what I'mjust gonna rely on?I'm just gonna add a littlebit of alcohol in there.Look at that, it's like addingsome randomness already.Oh yeah.And then I'm gonna addin a little bit more.This is like Minecraft colors.Adding a little bit more.Yeah.I'm just gonna likealternate through these.I like that you didthe poles on top.I just hope thatlike, enough like,Stuff will happen?Stuff will happenthat it'll lookYou might need to(panicked yelps)Oh no, oh no, oh no,oh no! Paper towels!Ah! And I have like aprecise amount to fill it up.Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no.Hey baby, you know wewere considering doingresin floors one day anyways.Let's just start now.(laughs)One spill at a time.Part One.Yeah, Part One.I'm trying not tolike mix it that much.You could try pouring someon like the outside edges.Oh that was a lot of alcohol.I need to add chaos.It's not chaotic enough for you?(laughs)That's cool.I'm gonna have to use likea little bit of everything.I also don't want itto be like layers,you know what I mean?Yeah.I don't want there tobe like a brown layerand a blue layer.It definitely won't be that.It looks cool from the side.Okay cool.Ooh yeah, pour thewhite around the edges.That's all the white I got.Are you serious?Yeah.(laughs)You used it all in the middle?Where there's no clouds?You know what?What about the next pole?This is an artisticinterpretation.(laughs)I feel like I might haveto make another Earth.Yeah yeah yeah makeanother, can you mix upanother resin?Really?More resin? Yeah.I'm not gonna haveenough 'cause I spilled.Oh, seriously?Yeah.Okay.I think it looksreally cool actually.It may, or may not,look like Earth.But it's gonna looklike something neat.(laughs)But I would say likepour on the outsidecause if you see right here,the white, how cool that looks.This shows up a tiny bit.Ooh, you know what we could do?What?We could try pipettingsome lower down.Oh yeah, we got these.And fix the mistakesof Evan past.You know what, ohjeez, I'm alreadyso resin-y.Do you need another glove?Can you snip the tip?Yeah.Ah! It totally works.Now lets try.Yeah! Ooh, it farted.(laughs)It works!Yeah it works.I could see the whitecoming out at the end.Nice.Oh, that's kinda cool.Kinda cool? Or cool?I mean, it doesn'treally look like a cloud,it kinda looks like a slug.Okay well this is aboutto get even more chaotic.You push this down andthat's how you form the top.So,uh oh.What do you mean uh oh?There's not enough, but,Did you not fill itto the fill line?I thought I did.Oh can you put it inthrough the little hole?Yeah I'll just do this.(laughs)Oh! It looks so wrong!Is it?I don't know if it's filled.Maybe tap it.Oh no, yeah.(both exclaim)Jeez what am I doing?I don't know.I'm gonna tape it down.'cause I think thatlike it's like flexinga little bit.Ooh!And now this is apretty thick pourso it's gonna start curing fast.Yeah.We should probably get itin the pressure pot soon.Yeah, and I'm alsoworried that likeso much heat is gonnabe made, it mightlike, melt it a little bit.Is it already gettinghot or is it okay still?It's a little warm.So I have thepotential solution.Give it a littlebit of a water bath.That way, it can stillget hot if it needs to,but it won't meltthe outer casing.So, the pressure pot.Yes.Will that affectthe water at all?No, so the pressure pot, like,a vacuum chamber makesany bubbles get likeeven bigger, and itlike boils and likeIt like pulls the air out.Yeah, it pulls theair out and like boilsand like it's alittle bit chaos.A pressure chamber justcompresses air bubbles down.Okay.So I don't think anythingcrazy should happen.(laughs)So lets just go for it.Arms up!So this is a pressurepot you modifiedthe other day.Yeah, it's originallya painting tank.It's like spray paint thing.Like, you paint things with it.Is it like a paint sprayers?Yeah, but I modifiedit instead to just likepressure up.And this is rated to 90PSI which is really nice.But I'm only gonna likepressure up to like 50 PSI.It feels so weird to hearthat like hissing airflow.(loud sound of air compressor)(relieved laughs)Is that a leak?This is the safety valve.So I'll just letthis do its thing.Whatever it's set at,I'll just let it likebe safe, ya know?Okay, so now we wait.Yes, that's the only,You're covering it?I thought we were being safe?I just wanted to makesure that this isthe only leak there was.Okay.Yeah!So now we just wait.Okay.(laughs)It's art!All right, hearingprotection on,this will be loud.It's not gonna blow up, I'mjust gonna release the air.It's not very loud.(loud air hissing)That's not too bad.I mean, I have in myhearing protection.(laughs)All right, so nowit's fully vented.I'm gonna open up everysingle valve, just in caselike it's zero, it's zero.(laughs)Why do you step away?Hopefully this releases.Hopefully.It should.It filled the full mold.Wait, I have a question here.So this part is silicone.Yeah.This part is plastic.But it's flexible plastic.Yeah, but like, would theresin just bond to it?Let's just see.Oh!Whoa!Oh dang it.That's a huge bubble.No! What the heck pressure pot?That's a huge bubble.It also doesn't reallylook like a planet.You know what's kinda funny?What?You're like, what ifit doesn't releasefrom the plastic?It released from theplastic perfectly,what if it doesn'trelease from the silicone?(loud banging)All right, I need more tools.Man, that bubble.That's where an asteroid hit.This is like aprehistoric Earth?Yeah. Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.That's why itlooks so different.What if we heat gun it?I have an idea.But like, put that andthen hammer the end of it.Like tick tick tick.You gotta stick up its butt.Yeah yeah yeah.Oh yeah, oh!Oh!Oh my gosh, oh!(laughs)Okay, that worked well.Okay, so this was anEarth like planet.It was invaded bymetal nano robots.Yeah.And that's like thelast little bit of Earththat's surviving.See this is wheresome nukes went off.Oh I thought that'swhere they landed?No, that's where theylanded right there.Oh, oh, on the butt.So what do you wanna do,do you want to polish it upor do you want to do another?I'm confused.I mean, it definitelydoesn't look like a planet.I also think that theair pockets right hereis from when Isqueezed in the white.'Cause I think I squeezedOh! And it farted.It farted.(slow mo \"It farted\")I think it squeezedin some air bubblesto the bottom.So you could try Jupiter.I could do Uranus.(laughs)Uranus would be really easy.(laughs)I think I'm gonnago for Jupiter.Okay, Jupiter.Yeah, Jupiter.Look at me.Did you double glove?Oh! Double high five!(laughs)All right Katelynso what's the plan?It's got a lot of striations,I looked at pictures.There's the spot of course.Just add that spot in post.Just edit it in?So you got gold, white,black, tans, reds and blue?Oh there's a little bit of blue.Definitely used too muchpigment on that one.It's a chunky boy.It looks pretty pigmented.Where's the Instagram picture?I like the one withextra saturation.I have my reference photo.I have my colors mixed.I'm feeling confident.I'm feelingBeautiful!Beautiful!Here's the hard part right here.Pour it like on the spoonand let the spoon guide it.Slowly, like a bartender witha fancy drink that you're.Oh my spoons too, oh no!Oh no!Did you do that on purpose?No!I realized my spoon wastoo high and insteadof lowering just one hand,I lowered both of my handsand it just spilled.You want a longer spoon?Yes.(laughs)You know, I've decidedthat they striationsdon't matter somuch in the bottom.It's more for the middle.Yeah.I don't really know how todo this bartender method.Maybe if I just go like this,and then I'm not tryingto coordinate twodifferent things.I mean, the topand bottom of mine,can look terrible,I just need themiddle to be okay.Oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.You're right.That's like wherethe business happens.That is where thebusiness happens.You're being so muchmore precise than I was.Well I'm trying to makeit actually Jupiterand not a Jupiter like planet.Today's video was broughtto you by Squarespace.If you've been thinkingabout starting a businessand you need a websiteand you wanna sell stuffthere's no more excuses anymorefor not having a website.Because at Squarespaceyou can get the domain,you can get the hosting,you get the templates,they have everythingset for you and...The biggest thing isyou can try it for free.Yeah!You can just pop in,start tinkering around,play with the dragand drop system,it's really intuitiveto start using itand also you don't haveto deal with pluginsor the site breakingdown the road.Get in there, startthe free trialat squarespace.com and ifyou, like so many othersdecide that youwanna move forward,past the free trial,venture in to that next stage,then you can go tosquarespace.com/EvanAndKatelynfor ten percent offyour first order.Now I'm officially doing,oh maybe I shoulddo it in reverse.Maybe I'll saythis is the bottom.Yeah yeah yeah, I don'twant to do the eye yet.Oh no but the eye'sgonna get messed upif it's on the top half.'cause of the squish squish.Okay so it has to be now.Okay.Now I have to do the eye.Are you ready?I'm ready.It's really hard tonot get air in thesecheap pipettes.So we're pretty surethe air is what causedthe big bubble in Evan'sone, it like blooped.Oh, look at that!I think that's it,I think I did it.Now just easy peasy.Finish her up, do somemore little stripy stripes.Oh this is alreadygetting hot in the cups.Yeah.So that means I'm runninga little low on time.I didn't want to say anything.I can still see my eye,I might have tolike, touch it up.This is very hard.(laughs)This is easy, this is easy,I feel good, this goodeverything is good.I'm doing good, I'm doing great.I'm like so chilled right now.Chill. So chill.Well we have alot of brown left,a lot of gold, a lotof red, not much white.Want me to mix up more white?No.Oh, the blue, the blue,the blue, the blue,this is where the blue goes.Oh my god, they all merged!They all merged.Shoot!Okay, I'm justgonna start pouring.(laughs)Dang it.I have to like redomy stripes now.What about a Jupiterlike planet Katelyn?No! It's Jupiter!This is getting hot enoughto burn my fingers now.Like every stripe you do,every layer you dogets so squished downthat mine became nothingand now I'm having tomake them like double thick.Guess I should putsome blue in there.The blue is gone.And my dot,my storm.I'm just gonna like, do do doo.I'm just gonna seewhat it looks likefrom the side.Does it look okay,do I have stripes?Do I have some stripes?You're not saying anything...Pour the rest of the white in.Okay, and thenI'll inject my dot?Inject your dot andthen put the lid on,pressure it up.Okay.Time to do this againand pray that thereare no bubbles.Are you ready?Yeah I'm ready.I'm gonna try to do it,where I think it was.I see a bubble.All right, put the cap on.Okay.All right, don't push too much.Okay okay okay.Tape me!I'm feeling like,I'm at like a seventypercent confidence.I'm at a hundredpercent confidenceit's gonna be beautiful.Aw, thanks.What about a hundredpercent confidenceit's gonna look like Jupiter?It's gonna be beautiful.Under pressure!(loud air compressing)Now we wait.Now we wait.Easy peasy, no stress.(laughs)Let me just prepare myselffor the great event.(air hissing)I really hope that my JupiterLooks like true Jupiter?Okay, I may have likelowered my standardsa little bit,I just want it tolook Jupiter like.Oh nice, nice, there'sa solid plug at the end.Oh yeah.Oh nice, wow!It's kind of similar to yours.Why does it do that?I don't know.It doesn't look like Jupiter.Okay, ill reserve my judgment,my full judgment, maybemy stripes and my eyeare under this, you know?Yeah, yeah.Oh!It's got an outie.Well, that isJupiter like.Is that my eye?Or is that my eye?There's no air bubbles.What do you think?I think my colors were spot on.I think my spotis not a spot.But it's like therein spirit, right here.And then there's this.(upbeat music andtools whirring)Okay, so Evan spent sometime polishing these upat the very endso I actually haven't seenthem in their final form yet.But, but, you know, Iwanna get in like a goodbrain state of,like it doesn't reallymatter how they turned outin the end.We had fun, super low stress.And you know what, theyturned out pretty good.Ready?Yeah.Whoa!I know, look at this area.I got stripes!You got stripes and yougot that circle there.I do have the eye, Ican see it better now.That looks so much betterwithout a giant seam.And mine even looks better.Oh you polished your bubbles?That actually makesit look really cool.Yeah.It's just like adeformed planet, right?It's like a moon.This side kind of lookslike the death star.(laughs)They actually do look like,they're planet-esque.I'm excited to figure outsomething to do with them.Pool balls?(laughs)Bye!\n"
