A Polymer Clay Tutorial: The Simple Wavy Mica Pendant and Clasp
Рет қаралды 11,568
5 ай бұрынWelcome to my channel and this tutorial, The Simple Wavy Mica Pendant and Clasp. This is a simple pendant to make, basically all you need is clay and mica powder plus material to make it a necklace. I'm using 3mm buna cord.
Hope you enjoy this one. If so, please like and subscribe! I appreciate that very much. If you'd like more in depth tutorials, just join the Member's Classroom on You Tube.
Cheers, Donna

Donna, the micas react differently to the skin than to the pads you used at first. Also, each powder has a maximum limit of particles it lays down before the excess stops adhering to the surface you apply it to. You may have reached the saturation point with the Chameleon and Lucy powders sooner than the other two, which is good. It means you need less to get full coverage.
@DonnaKatoArt 5 ай бұрын
That's interesting, definitely. And, makes sense, too. Thanks, Cindy! Hugs, D
@ElizabethP505 5 ай бұрын
Except Lucy's didn't have full coverage- it rubbed off enough for the black to show through. That's disappointing, especially considering the price point. I love all things Lucy, but.. I don't want to have to seal the powders.

At first i was concerned that the drill hole on curvy piece was too high & it would flip over from being top heavy, but instead it changed the angle of how it hangs (as shown on the bust) as looks super cool! Love it!

A smaller version would be cute earrings as well. I love the Idea of using up clay reserves with black and coloring them rather than using your colored clay. Beautiful. ✌🏻🤍

Oh I love that first color- it’s very pale gold but with a pearl luster. I’ve used chameleon powder with resin it’s so fun.

A dear friend of mine Teru Simon who was my pottery teacher taught us that clay has a memory and its true. It will always remember the shape it held so i understand letting it set for a while before you commit it to its final resting state.

You can also use gel nails top coat to seal them instead of buying a big bottle of something else, you will still need the uv light

A few months ago I kept making spirals with my clay. I was thinking of pendants. I wasn't sure what in heck I was doing. But I love curling them at both ends like an "S". The end curls were going in the opposite directions. So I made one but didn't know what to do with it so I tossed it in my "orphan" box. I was so happy to run across this tutorial! Now I know what I'm doing. Thanks for the great tutorial!

Lol, Donna, you hit all of my passions with this tutorial, jewelry, polymer clay, nails and resin. I have a great time trying supplies from one pursuit in another. I found out my Pearlex works well to chrome nails and my multichrome flakes and powders for nails look awesome on clay and, of course they all work in my resin! This was a fun class. I’ll have to pull out my Perfect pearls and see what they will work with other than clay! Thanks for reminding me about them!❤. Love this pendant.

You might try the eyeshadow sponge applicators for the powders rather than a brush to get them out of the pots and start the burnish. That’s how we do it on nails and cured resin. I then use my finger to burnish to a high glow.

Thank you Donna! This was a much needed and appreciated tutorial. You helped me relax and realise you don't have to do something complex to make something beautiful. I'm relatively new in the PC community and under duress I started doing tutorials. I'm always stressing out about what to do for the next collection to impress everyone. My first (and controversial tutorial) was inspired from your tutorial on mica shift snails (of course I linked your tutorial in the description box). I watch all your tutorials and you're a breath of fresh air. Thank you!

A tip about using floor wax ( I used to use Future years and years ago) while it never yellowed it does react to water turning white and cloudy so you may want to test it on a sample then let it get wet to see if it reacts. A couple of really beautiful projects of mine got ruined that way
