When using the dragonfly, for example, is it thinned at all, or straight out of the bottle when missed in to the paint

@TheWellEducatedArtist 10 ай бұрын

The dragonfly glaze is used straight out of the bottle.

Would you recommend mixing the glitter paint in with other acrylic paints or just brushing it on top, I noticed you don't use a torch or a heating gun to remove any bubbles

@TheWellEducatedArtist Жыл бұрын

It depends on the look you are going for…if you want a subtle look put it in the paint and if you want it to stand out you can put it on top. As for using a torch, I use one when I paint but if you have newly mixed paints when you make skins you can definitely use one to pop bubbles as long as you are pouring on something that is resistant to heat.

After you brush on the holographic or the metallic paints how long do you have to let those dry before you can start the jewelry making process

@TheWellEducatedArtist 2 жыл бұрын

They are usually dry within an hour with a thin coat especially if it is warm.

Hi, I'm in the UK so can't really get floetrol. I tried to make skins using acrylic paint a little water and some acrylic medium flow. Poured some onto my silicone mat left to dry for a few days, when I went to peel off the paint had all cracked so wasn't usable 😢 what am I doing wrong please x

@TheWellEducatedArtist 16 күн бұрын

@@karenmclaughlan9128 There’s a couple of things I can think of that may be a problem. 1) The paint may be too thick. If the coating on the silicone is too thick the paint dries at 2 separate rates and cracks as the top dries but not the middle. That is why pour painters pour the paint off the canvas or spin it depending on the result they want. If you are using a tray underneath the silicone you can spread out the paint by tilting it or even spinning it. If not, you can spread the paint with a pallet knife but may ruin the design. 2) if you use a room that either has fans or a heat source that blows hard, your paint can dry on top and not in the middle and crack because of the difference in drying times. These are the 2 main reasons for cracking, but poor quality paint can also be a problem, especially without a good pouring medium! In the States many people use Goldens GAC 800 to prevent cracking but I don’t know if you can get it in the UK. Owatrol is sold in Europe and may help but thinning the paint on the silicone is the best bet.

Instead of liquitex can I use the Elmer’s glue mixture?

@TheWellEducatedArtist Жыл бұрын

You can use the Elmers glue mixture in most cases to make skins. 😃 It can affect color and luster of metallics, though.

How did you mix the 24k paint? Where did you get the silicone mat?

@TheWellEducatedArtist Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! The DecoArt 24k paint is mixed with 1 part paint to 3 parts Floetrol but you could use water and glue mix instead. The silicone mats I usually get from Amazon since they carry all sizes.

Tks so much for this method!😊 Question: How did u make this thick like a real rock? I'm not talking about the color, I'm talking about the weight & thickness of a real rock Plz share 😊

@TheWellEducatedArtist Жыл бұрын

I guess what you are referring to is using glass cabochons with the skins to make jewelry pieces, You actually use glue made for jewelry and adhere the skin to the flat back of a clear glass cabochon which is cut to fit unto a metal jewelry tray or bezel like a pendant tray. The cabochon protects the skin, gives it weight, and magnifies it. I do have a video about making acrylic skin jewelry that details that process so I didn’t go into detail in this video. I believe I also have a links on Amazon in the description of video if you want to buy the ones I use in the video. 😀 Thanks for watching!

Can you use any cheap acrylic paint to make the skins?

@TheWellEducatedArtist Жыл бұрын

Yes. Absolutely! Using pour medium will make them stronger, though, no matter the paint you use!

Do you need to varnish the skins?

@TheWellEducatedArtist 6 ай бұрын

It’s not necessary if you are using cabochons (glass) on top of the skins for jewelry but if the skin is going to be exposed to air it is a good idea to use varnish or resin for protection.

Can you use TLP piggies?

@TheWellEducatedArtist 6 ай бұрын

Absolutely! Pigments like TLP work best with bloom skins which utilize house paint. Check my playlist for a video on bloom skins. 😀

Can a chrome powder or mica be used?

@TheWellEducatedArtist Жыл бұрын

Chrome powders can be used generally either brushed on when dry or put on top of wet paint. Mica is ok as long as it is in a fine form. Large mica flakes may rise above the surface if you are using cabochons when making jewelry.
