Lаѕt wееkеnd, I wоrkеd аmоngѕt whаt саn аlоnе bе dеѕсrіbеd еԛuаllу MAGIC.
In addition to the kit I had a mоdеllіng knіfе lаіd, fіrіng mеѕh, сіrсlе сuttеr as well as реn ѕсrіbеr.
I’d besides recommend having a small-scale pot of water, kitchen towel and cocktail stick to manus.
There are many reminders to function quickly, accept everything you call for make and I was
concerned that every bit I hadn’t used the kit earlier, I’d not make my items apace plenty.
Look how scary that is.
I cut off a modest department [inward my mind I wanted to create 4 pendants, so simply divided the clay
visually in to 4 to approximate my sizes] in addition to set myself upward a rolling station using the two acrylic
pieces either side of the clay to curlicue at an equal thickness.
Just inwards instance I didn’t run apace plenty, I and so made a hole at either side of the disc to
create my pendant. I constitute the pen scriber great for mark this too so used a cocktail
stick to go through the clay:
Uѕіng thе реn ѕсrіbеr аlоngѕіdе thе сар оn, I uѕеd thіѕ tо brаnd іmрrеѕѕіоnѕ іnwаrd thе сlау dіѕс thаt gаvе thе іmрrеѕѕіоn оf а hаmmеrеd dіѕс:
I accept to live honest, I soundless wasn’t completely sure how this would plough out.
The side by side phase is to dry out the clay. With a pilus dryer. As my clay piece was quite minor too it was a warm(want) solar day, I plant 30 minutes on too off plenty to completely dry the clay out.
Having previously felt very much like air dry clay, one time dried, the clay right away had a definite
weight to it – much more than similar metallic. Now, the clay tin can be lightly sanded to smooth the edges
as well as whatever imperfections out:
On to the firing. On your kitchen hob.
We were fully prepared for burn, fume, flames – but it’s actually much more than safe than this!
Setting your mesh inward place as well as firing upwardly the hob to estrus it upwardly, y’all home your clay pieces on go past too they practice get up in flames – just in a rattling tame and quick fashion!
Fire the clay for 5 minutes together with then leave to cool for around 20 minutes.
To ensure the clay is completely cooled, place them inwards common cold water:
At this indicate, you will notice, your clay piece soundless await rattling much similar clay.
The weight is in that location, but I was silent unsure how this would plow in to metal…
Using the brush, the white clay exterior is slow removed, revealing a matt argent inward its home.
It is genuine magic before your eyes.
You tin proceed your piece with the matt silver finish, withal, I wanted a polished wait, therefore lightly sanded the disc in addition to and then with the material, created a high-sheen polished finish:
Now to add together this as a piece of jewellery.
Using pliers to assist, I added my pendant to a aureate necklace [I quite like the combination of gilt
too silver] as well as my necklace – that I made MYSELF – was completed!
What practise yous recollect? I am therefore pleased with the result – if y’all accept worked with air dry out clay, clay or Fimo – y’all’ll notice this process real similar. If non – you accept to give it a try.
I take three more tutorials [sneaky peek higher up] to part with y’all, including how to mend broken pieces, create unlike finishes in addition to how to create your ain jewellery based on templates.
CONGRATULATIONS CHESSY ALDEN!
