It’s so fun getting caught up with your projects. This one and the “fail” before it are so wonderful. It’s just a very pretty stone and you captured it beautifully. I do like the gold - and it doesn’t look unreal. It looks like it should be there, if that makes any sense. Thank you for your charming work.

The next time you need bits of gold, try baking your gold for ten minutes and grating it with a food grater after it’s cooled! You get shavings that crumble nicely and randomly.

Absolutely love this technique! Thanks so much for sharing!

Those are beautiful but I even liked the last that you called a fail they were beautiful too! 💯😊

This technique is fantastic and quite beautiful. Thank you.

It's a gorgeous technique. Thanks for sharing. 💖

Sheer genius. I'm like you, I don't do gold and always thinking I must get some gold findings but then there's always something else I want so the idea gets put back down to the bottom of the list :-) x

I use light brass for so much of my work. It holds up better than gold colored. It’s versatile for different things then of course silver for other things. Cuts back on having so many colors of findings. Juan a thought.

These look stunning !

Fabulous Kath! Really beautiful. 🐨

I'm so glad to find this tutorial. I really did not want to put acrylic paint in my clay, and had had no alternate idea except for Fimo decor, which. did not try. So, now, resuming the tutorial :)

Will be very happy to buy one of your samples so excited about your news.x

Great work, thank you for sharing this

A fantastic piece. I like to use that technique, wrapping the little pieces of clay with powders: either mica, or pastel. The powder forces me to sand, recognizing with it, that although I do not like to sand, sometimes doing it is extremely magical. Thanks, Kathryn. Samantha, (Jessama tutorial) has taught us a lot. You pendant of previous video is also beautiful. Un abrazo grande

awesome!

Love this idea better than paint myself, I have nothing but trouble with paint. Certainly a cool technique, and you can't get as good a shimmer of acrylic paint than you can with using mica'd clay. Thanks again Kathryn. Love this. 👌💐💓

Thanks JoJo, I always say its my choice not to add paint, and folk have shared some lovely pieces with my technique using paint, but just from experience, its not a good result for me, and if your making to sell, I want to know that things will stand the test of time not crumble .... yes it fell to bits a week after making..(faux turquoise) ..I was just giving it a polish with my Dremel .... like it hadn't bonded within the clay and weakened the pendant...so no paints for me xx

Thank you for this now I have to try 🤩👍💞

I've been having so much stress with Fimo, from conditioning to stickiness etc, that I'll just stick to Premo or Cernit for the moment, I used to love it! it was my 'go to' but I'm afraid with my arthritis, the battle is just to painful ha ha, tbh I'm still not a fan of the paint in the clay, but using liquid clay is working a treat x

And I loved how you created the fold goo with liquid clay. I had the same problem using acrylic paint. I mixed liquid clay with my paint and let the coated chunks air dry a good bit before compressing; problem solved.

I have started to watch this many times over the past year and wanted to try it. I finally got all the supplies and someone wanting some white pieces so I plan to finally try this weekend. I got halfway through when you mentioned the trial of embossing powders so I got curious about what you found using those and if you taped that? Thank you for sharing so much with us!

I had a double pack of playing cards. I made 2 sets of numbered stacks 2 through 10. Using the number cards on each side. I used the Jokers and extra cards for filling in. It came out perfectly.

Hi, No I haven't ..... I have used it, but not in or on raw clay ..... I would have to test it to ensure it doesn't break down the clay over time etc....and TBH I prefer to use liquid clay for most techniques as you've probably seen in my other vids, I don't even use acrylic paint, just my preference xx

What about instead of making the paste you use sculpey liquid clay in gold or do you think it would be to watery? You crack me up when you make a mistake or drop something and you always say “oo oo”, just too cute. This came out beautiful!

Okay so last question,and apologies from an old lady. Since it was the embossing powders that wasn’t bold enough in the other video have you tried curing embossing powders within the clay doing other projects? Because I have heard that baking inside clay (not on top of) the powders don’t cure. Have you found that to be true or not? A million thanks again.

Wonderful. I love making faux stones and this is a great idea. LOL, the gold softened clay looks like peanut butter. So glad I stumbled upon your site. And the first triangle you said was a fail, was wonderful also. LOL, did you really trust your pet (a cat especially) to behave like she said she would?
