The flowing red roots represent pain travelling through the body, while the purple butterfly symbolises fibromyalgia awareness, strength and transformation. This project was created as part of a wonderful fibromyalgia collaboration playlist featuring multiple creators sharing meaningful awareness pieces and personal stories. 💜 Fibromyalgia Collaboration Playlist:    • You Can’t See It… But It’s Real 💜 | Fibro ...   I wanted this piece to feel both beautiful and emotional — showing that even through pain, creativity and strength can still bloom. 💜🦋 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🛠️ PRODUCTS USED IN THIS VIDEO ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🖤 AquaCast (Eco Casting Resin) https://www.elichem.co.uk/water-based... 🖤 Heart Tree Mould https://share.temu.com/nzVx5uY108B 🖤 RUB ’N Buff – European Gold https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00081HYF... 🖤 KEMYR Metallic & Glitter Brush Pens https://amzn.eu/d/0bGuL7VO 🖤 Fantastory Acrylic Paint Set https://amzn.eu/d/09Kq7rLt https://amzn.eu/d/0h2Ob3e2 🖤 Fantastory Lamp Black Acrylic Paint https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DRG4VR1... 🖤 Pebeo Pearl White https://amzn.eu/d/0a1U1C7f 🖤 HydroFlow Sealer https://www.elichem.co.uk/hydroflow-s... ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⚠️ SAFETY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ AquaCast is a fine casting powder, so try to avoid breathing the dust and work in a ventilated space. I always recommend checking the Eli-Chem website for the correct ratios and safety guidance. ⚠️ Resin Safety: Always work in a well-ventilated area when using epoxy resin. Wear nitrile gloves and avoid skin contact. Keep resin away from children and pets until fully cured. Dispose of uncured resin responsibly — never pour down the drain. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🖤 MY EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS & STUDIO GEAR ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🖤 Nitrile Gloves – Unigloves Black Pearl https://amzn.eu/d/0baIL3AZ 🖤 PPE Respirator Mask https://amzn.eu/d/03uifFzp 🖤 FFP3 Disposable Mask https://amzn.eu/d/08y0eayZ 🖤 Air Purifier – Resiners Purair (H13 HEPA) https://resiners.com/?ref=acswuucb 🖤 Silicone Work Mat https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0C786NMG... 🖤 Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) – Hexeal https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B087M3D2T... ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎵 MUSIC ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Music created by me using Suno AI under a paid commercial subscription. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🚂 THE FRIENDSHIP EXPRESS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Come and join us on the Friendship Express playlist where creators support creators ✨    • The Friendship Express   ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💸 DISCOUNT LINKS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🖤 AquaCast https://www.elichem.co.uk/water-based...
