Katie I like your style lady. Don’t let the trolls make you explain about the noises in your house. It’s your house for Pete’s sake. Don’t let them change your style or how you change what you do. Celebrate your uniqueness!!!!😎🌺💕
Not only helpful, but goreous. Im sure I've seen this before and have even to responded to it, but I think this piece is so wonderful. I love your honesty, too. Just because we haven't seen you post in sometime, you are never out of our minds. You are my favorite creator. Thank you for all you have given us. I hope someday you come back. Bless your dear heart.
Thank you so much for showing us the end result first. This is so very helpful for me and I am guessing others as well. Helps me solidify things in my brain to follow along! ❤love your work and design sense and how thorough you are! Thanks for being you!
No doubt you are an artist and a professional, and an instructor. Every step leads to the next step and you do not make us think it is impossible. Love what you do and your instructions.
I really just love that you thought to try out shell pieces on your polymer pendant, because I have seen that you do value the smoothness of the resin on the top: no wonder you wanted 3 coats, along with the bubble you noticed. You are obviously much more detail oriented that I am, but your jewelry comes out so very gorgeous! I understand now that job-wise, it would be better not to wear dangling multipendant necklaces--that makes sense danger-wise. It would probably take me a long time to make a multi-pendant art necklace and to get the resin that smooth! I am still gathering tools, and do not have much money to work with, but am gradually finding out some equipment that might help me to make the jewelry gifts I would want to! A small butane torch, an embossing powder heating tool, and one of those nice Pandora UV Light Boxes are definitely on my list to save up for! I just love the calmness you have as you teach and do things; you have a very nice manner! Thank you also for saying things you have tried in the past that did not work as well as had been hoped, so that others can avoid using less than satisfactory techniques or products! Thank you again for all the time and expense you put into your tutorials, and for all the effort you go to on top of working a full-time job and going to classes!! I wish you the very best and truly hope you will have a wonderful Spring and Summer of 2023 !!! 🐢❤🦀🎺✴🌲🍁🤩🌈
I’m so glad you made this video as I’ve been thinking about how to use some beautiful, yet “not whole”, shells I collected when I lived on the beach in Mexico. I bought polymer clay to practice on before investing in metal clay to use in my jewelry designs, and now I’m addicted to polymers as well as your videos! You are a fantastic teacher.
This is really beautiful. Very helpful tutorial. Leaving the mistakes in is great. I am just starting out with polymer clay, so it helps to see how to fix problems that might arise. I say don't worry about the noises in the house, actually, your dog barking made me smile...real life. 💖💖
I like your attitude , I feel the same way. I will try any medium at least once. I love to play. I like that you explain your what you are doing. Keep up the good work.
I really appreciate you showing us the jump ring procedure. I’ve had the same thing happen. This is really pretty. And I love that you showed us the resin process. Very beautiful.
Wow what a stunning piece of jewellery, I have not long got into making pendants with resin and after watching this fantastic tutorial decided that polymer clay would be the perfect accompliment. Thank you for the inspiration you have given not only for myself but others as well, looking forward to seeing many more of your projects both here and on Facebook.
Beautiful. Working on mine right now. ;) For the bubbles in your resin, you can drill them out with a tiny drill bit and then on your next layer of resin, fill them in. Make sure you use something sharp to push the resin into the holes. Oh, and you may have to sand the surface a tiny bit before adding your next layer of resin. This is from Cindy Leitz, polymer clay tutor.
Gorgeous! I love mosaics and yours, using these shell by-products and chipped stone, is so amazing. Thank you for posting. Your color choices and the movement of both pieces are great.
I have been watching RUclips polymer clay to see what's new, I started out with Samantha and found it neat that you kept referred to her, I love her she is awesome. But you popped up while I've been cleaning my kitchen, and I have just been giggling at you in a good way. So I subscribed! I look forward to watching all your videos.
The best yet!! 😀 So, so beautiful!! It's absolutely exquisite. Love it!! You did such a good job fitting all those pieces of shell together so perfectly, and the colours look just gorgeous and shimmery under the resin. You've excelled yourself. Thank you for sharing your process, and once again, another great video full of useful information and tips 🤗😊
Love your videos and this technique. Have you tried using tape when doing the resin. I usually tape my pieces with masking tape that way if it drips it will come off when removing the tape and lessens the need for sanding. I also sometimes use a uv gel top coat over the resin as then you can wipe the surface with alcohol and will stay shiny.
I'm didn't know you had an Amazon shop! Guess where I'm going! I love that you are a go to work everyday and still do what you do! I try so hard but I'm wore out when I get home! Ughhhhh!
Welcome also the link to the stones are in my amazone ambassador account in the link below but this Amazon is only for the us but it would give u an idea of the material
awesome pendant. just found you and like your tutes a lot because you provide in-depth information and you are right, we can always fast forward. I like watching the whole process. Several videos have filled in information I was missing. so thanks.
Nice one. I've subbed, been a poly clay maker for about thirty years, but no matter what we know we can always learn something from other like minded folks. xxxAnnxxx in UK
In addition to her beautiful talent, I'm always amazed at how nice her nails look, especially for a hygienist who is changing globes every hour on the hour and washing her hands constantly. Katie, what is your secret? xo
If you get an air bubble after you cure uv resin use a hand drill with the smallest bit and drill into the bubble then add a new layer of resin making sure to get it into the hole and it will fill it in making it invisible
I absolutely love this pendant and I happen to have mother of pearl my daughter gathered while on a school trip. She's gonna love it! I jumped over to ur group on fb.
Yes or acrylic paint but I needed the layer to cover any of the sharp pieces of stone n ot just to border that i hardly ever do and don't really care about but i didn't want the shell to be rough on the skin
I don't have crushed shell or stone. Do you think I could get this look with polymer blends and translucent? Could you do really thin shavings and tear/cut it to lay on the background?
Some people have made faux ablone tutorials I just didnt feel like trying to make all those blends so ordered this they were like 10 bucks but do what ever your hear desires
Love, love, love this gorgeous technique so much! I would like to try this on a slightly domed piece to use as a cabochon and set in a bezel for a cocktail ring. I realize this will add some extra challenges but will give it a try. Any suggestions?
I was not able to find your links for the hand drill. I am not computer savy and just upgraded my iPhone and it hates me. So not sure how to get the info. I am so ready to go with this technique and have been thinking about nothing else since I watched it this morning! Thank you for sharing and your easy to follow and understand video. It’s like I am sitting right next to you. You provide great up close shots and explain everything in such great detail. Love listening to you!
Katie I ordered several items from your site including the detail sander and crushed shells and the silicone mat for doing resin. Some items I wanted were currently not available so will check back from time to time to pick these up as well. The one item I really wanted was your hand drill. I looked through all items available in case I missed it but ??? Was this available somewhere else and I just misunderstood?
This is a good tutorial; creative and different. I ordered some crushed shell and tested a piece (must seal these with liquid clay or resin or your mosaic will chip off!); looking forward to going whole-hog and making a cuff or 2. LOVE your Dremel advice (especially @ 37:15with the sound effect -lol! 'WEEEE'). Keep making good videos!
Totally have to seal I prefer resin mainly why I did the resin in the video but I guess liquid clay may hold I never get as nice of a finish w that though
I saw a video (Lisa Pavelka?) where the person drilled into the bubble with their scalpel, widened it a bit, and then did a second coat and you couldn't tell where the bubble was.
Katie I like your style lady. Don’t let the trolls make you explain about the noises in your house. It’s your house for Pete’s sake. Don’t let them change your style or how you change what you do. Celebrate your uniqueness!!!!😎🌺💕

I love using Abalone shells in resin, this is a lovely idea, I'm going to try the black poly clay 👍❤️
Very pretty and professional !!! Tks for all your hard work.
Thank you so much for showing us the end result first. This is so very helpful for me and I am guessing others as well. Helps me solidify things in my brain to follow along! ❤love your work and design sense and how thorough you are! Thanks for being you!

don't listen to what Everybody post on here that's negative I think everything you do is amazing I appreciate all your helpful suggestions and tips
This piece is stunning. Your color choices and skill are awesome. Thank you for sharing.❤
Wow, so pretty !
Great technique! So beautiful! Thanks for sharing your awesome talent with us!
I just love this!! So beautiful.👍👍💕🥰🐶🐶🇬🇧
I am pleased you showed the final piece in the beginning as that is what got me to watch immediately this tutorial. It's a beautiful piece, well done.

I’m so grateful that you left the mishaps in. I needed to see that! Awesome stuffs. Thank you!
I REALLY love this technique. Thanks, Katie.
Beautiful. I have mica flakes, I'll give them a whirl and see if those work too. Thanks!

Your creations are wonderful and I am amazed at your talent! Thank you for sharing this! 😊⚪💚♥️
I actually keep my crushed shell and glass AB beads for this purpose. Waste not want not.
You can polish sanded resin with another thin coat of resin. The new coat bonds with the old coat
That's a beauty!
This piece is stunning! I really appreciated you showing the process from start to finish. I am going to give this a try, thanks for the inspiration.
Looks very professional quality. Very beautiful.
With bubbles in your first layer; you can drill it out and then add more resin.
Katie I enjoy so much watching your tutorials,your voice is so relax and show your passion,a true artist,thanks so much for share your work
Thanks
I like your attitude , I feel the same way. I will try any medium at least once. I love to play. I like that you explain your what you are doing. Keep up the good work.

This is a lovely project. My shell pieces arrive today! Thank you and I hope you are well and safe.
Loved this! Thanks for showing us everything …even the mistakes. Lol. You are a natural teacher!

I am gonna make this! I love abalone. Waiting on my supplies. Beautiful!
I use to watch her but she hasn't done anything in a long long time, I believe
Gorgeous! I love mosaics and yours, using these shell by-products and chipped stone, is so amazing. Thank you for posting. Your color choices and the movement of both pieces are great.
This is stunning, Katie! 🙏🏼💙
Love this mosaic technique 💗
Thank you for showing this. It was a lot of fun. Love your attitude, rock on girl!
I’ve used up clear top nail polish on some small areas to get the shine back
I have been watching RUclips polymer clay to see what's new, I started out with Samantha and found it neat that you kept referred to her, I love her she is awesome. But you popped up while I've been cleaning my kitchen, and I have just been giggling at you in a good way. So I subscribed! I look forward to watching all your videos.

I love it, would love more mixed media. I'm going to try this. Thank you Katie.

Uv nail polish
I love your creative polymer clay, thank you for sharing with your fans, gives me great ideas. Thank you so much 🙂
This is a wonderful technique! I'm going to have to order crushed shell! Thanks for the great technique.
If you get an air bubble after you cure uv resin use a hand drill with the smallest bit and drill into the bubble then add a new layer of resin making sure to get it into the hole and it will fill it in making it invisible
I like this it reminds me of the mosaic abalone jewelry I used to have and miss
I absolutely love this pendant and I happen to have mother of pearl my daughter gathered while on a school trip. She's gonna love it! I jumped over to ur group on fb.
Have you tried daubbing on black permanent ink around your piece instead of smearing clay? It works really great!
Yes or acrylic paint but I needed the layer to cover any of the sharp pieces of stone n ot just to border that i hardly ever do and don't really care about but i didn't want the shell to be rough on the skin
nice work beautiful
Great piece of work, very informative video. Will definitely be watching more of your channel xx
Beautiful eye candy! 😍
It is beautiful
So pretty

A lot of these videos are 3 4 years old I would just look up a pin drill or hand drill on Amazon
I noticed that Katie and so thankful we still have access to them! I am so hooked on your videos!
Gorgeous
This is a good tutorial; creative and different. I ordered some crushed shell and tested a piece (must seal these with liquid clay or resin or your mosaic will chip off!); looking forward to going whole-hog and making a cuff or 2.

Totally have to seal I prefer resin mainly why I did the resin in the video but I guess liquid clay may hold I never get as nice of a finish w that though
yup; resin is much better but I am still resin-shy! ill keep watching you - your resin tune is great too.
I saw a video (Lisa Pavelka?) where the person drilled into the bubble with their scalpel, widened it a bit, and then did a second coat and you couldn't tell where the bubble was.
Yup bet u could do that I cant really see it in the finished product either which is good
😍 love it
Katie, those colored chips are the mother of pearl ochre lining inside abalone shells. 🥰👍😉👵🏻
Katie, I don’t have Facebook so can you tell me about those files? Where can I get those crashed stones or shells?
Thank you 😊
