Do y’all remember the Gоld Shаrріе Bоwl that I made dorsum inwards March? I decided to brand a smaller version of that, minus the triangle details in the end – a ii-toned bowl, white on the exterior, golden on the inside. The process was uncomplicated [I view] – rolling out a thin layer of golden as well as think layer of white Fimo [no more than than 2mm thickness in the stop]:
I and then layered the 2 together with gave them a quick curl to bond them together as well as then used the largest round cookie cutter I had to make my bowl shape:
Peeling the Fimo from the tabular array was non fun. All time to come Fimo related products volition live make on a sheet of baking paper or sparse plastic – something flexible that can live peeled away from the Fimo, rather than the other agency around. Fimo is non dough. Lesson learned 🙂
I did cope to save the circular though, which so left me alongside a novel problem – this was a thin circular of Fimo in addition to would non concur a bowl form easily at all – together with I didnt have anything I could mould the Fimo around. So prepared and everything therefore well thought out. Not the best medium to spontaneously examination.
Thinking outside the box, I decided to function my cutter for more than originally planned – as a holder. I moulded carefully the sides of my Fimo bowl to the overstep of the cutter as well as in one case secure, helped force the bottom in addition to sides into a bowl-like shape:
The Fimo was held in place at the top, suspended in a bowl-similar cast, merely the cutter was deep enough to halt it from touching the bottom – in addition to made of metallic non plastic! Win!
Deciding that this was equally adept as it was going to get, I got the matter inward the oven every bit shortly equally possible. I settled on a Google average of 135 degrees for twenty minutes earlier removing from the over to completely cool to see if it would withdraw from the cutter:
It couldn’t take been easier – phew! The Fimo was non of a stiff texture, but it all the same felt a little like it could be bent or moulded a footling. The color had also stayed vivid, which I was worried would be lost inwards the bake:
To neaten it all up, I was able to cut away the exceed alongside a craft knife easily together with also remove any imperfections from the exterior:
Cutting away, this was where the discolouration between the exterior and within of the Fimo showed in the golden, therefore I now volition recall the importance of having the right shape made earlier baking.
It’s non a polish finish, surely not perfect or quite how I imagined, but it is quite cute. If I was to do it once more, I’d beloved to exam a larger together with thicker bowl, mayhap amongst some cutting-out details also.
…this though, is perfect for lilliputian pretty, sparkly things:
I might pretend my God Daughter made it for me 🙂
