Thank you for this great tutorial! Can you please share your recipe for the best skins? Also, if Im pouring just for this purpose, what surface do you pour on? Ive heard photo paper, freezer paper etc... what do you use? Thank you!!
The best surface to pour on is freezer paper since you can store the skins easily or use a silicone mat for super easy removal. The recipe would depend on what you are doing with the skin. Floetrol, Liquitex paint and water is fine for making jewelry or things you need a thin skin for. However, for many things I prefer bloom skins which are tougher and thicker. I have several videos on how to make various types of skins on my channel in the skins playlist. Thanks for watching!
its just all so overwhelming! So many videos and so many different recipes for different types of pouring. my head is spinning! Any advice on where to start? The basic step one? @@TheWellEducatedArtist
You shouldn’t pull the loop on your finding down or out, it weakens the metal. You should use a side to side motion (use two pair of pliers and grab the jump ring on each side if the slit and pull one side toward you and one side away from you). That keeps your circle in a circle shape and it closes more seamlessly. It doesn’t weaken the metal as easily. Thank you for your tutorials. 😊
Are you using a kit? Or DIY? Sometimes the kits have single facing earrings, in that case they are ear specific. If not you can take jewelers pliers (or regular ones) and rotate the earring wire so that the earring will face the way you need it to. I have had to do this a few times. RUclips has some instructional videos on how to do this which can show you exactly what to do. It takes a little bit of a knack to not bend the wire out of shape.
Hey there... brilliant ideas for using acrylic skins, many thanks for sharing. I would like to ask if the last set of earrings that you make with resin, do you put resin on both sides at once or you do each side separately and wait each side to dry? And do you have a specific resin mix recipe for these earrings? Maybe you have a video on this , if you could please share . Much appreciated😊
Thank you for the great tutorials on jewelry making! Where can I buy the flat metal punches or forms you used? I searched amazon and could not find them. Thanks!
I’m binge watching you now lol I just think this is so cool, I can’t wait to get some supplies and give it a try.
Very colorful and stylish!
Nice!!

Thank you for your tutorials. 😊
Can you use a spray gloss
@@lindacline303 I would think so. I just don’t know how much protection it would give over time. Thanks for watching!
These are nice. thank you for sharing. What did you search for to get the tray of pretty base to place the skin in?

For resin I would recommend UV resin and to do each side separately. The cure time is very quick.
Thank you very much for your quick reply and advices🤗.... I will try and hopefully will have good results
what do you dry your paint skin on? parchment or wax paper?
I dry my skins of either shiny freezer paper or on silicone mats. Some types of skins will stick to wax paper and parchment.

Thanks so much! Ok. On Amazon you will need to search for “Earring Cutting Dies”. I searched to make sure that will work. Let me know if it doesn’t.
