Hi Jamie I am just re-watching your demo on hearts, is it possible to demo making the mold for the heart. Love your videos.

[@jamiemeador2967]

Thanks for watching! I will consider doing one.

[@lisabroussardjanuska6774]

I love your lettering stamps, do you have any advice on what sizes to get for the larger hearts, I really love your heart rattles. You have them glazed really nice are you using stains, or are is that the color of the clay showing?

[@jamiemeador2967]

Thanks for watching. I use iron oxide stains so can fire them face down. I love my letter set which is no longer in production. I think it's just experimentation to see what works best for you.

[@gabyader4751]

Thank you for the fantastic demo. I was wondering what size the acrylic fillable hearts are? I would like to purchse some but want to make sure to get the correct size. Thank you!

[@jamiemeador2967]

I'm sorry, I don't have the exact sizes. My craft supply shop had small (about 2 inches) and medium (about 3.5 to 4 inches).

Hi Jamie! I really like this project. I made one a few months ago and I placed it on my healing alter. I was wondering if you have any suggestions for small clay letter stamps for the words? Thank you!

[@jamiemeador2967]

I found a plastic small cursive set at Michael's. They still sell it. The brand escapes me though

[@robincrego4222]

Any videos on glazing these?

[@jamiemeador2967]

Not yet - the next time I make a batch I'll record the glazing. I either leave a spot raw on one side or use stilts.

[@lorisimmons4039]

Where do you get the acrylic hearts?

[@jamiemeador2967]

I ordered mine from Amazon. I've found individual ones at the big box craft stores. Just Google "acrylic heart ornament".

[@lorisimmons4039]

@@jamiemeador2967 I’ll check out Amazon. Thanks.

[@patriciacooper1308]

Put the balls in paper straws, crimp straw in between. Circle straw with beads inside. Straws burn in kiln, beads are all loose.

[@BeverleyReed]

Are the little balls already fired or raw bone-dry clay?

[@jamiemeador2967]

Beverley Reed They are dried green ware balls

[@hildadorn9796]

Do you use clay slurry on air dry clay

[@jamiemeador2967]

@@hildadorn9796 I've never used air dry clay

[@juliawigley8513]

How can you glaze without them sticking to the shelf. 😀

[@jamiemeador2967]

One side of the heart has an added slab portion (usually with a word) that is just stained and not glazed. That is what rests on the shelf. Occasionally I use stilts if I want to fully glaze each side.

[@pattybaumeister4769]

This video is great...thank you. May I ask how you stilt the hearts so they don't make marks in the glaze?

[@jamiemeador2967]

Sometimes I stilt, sometimes not. I like to wipe away the glaze on one side so it's just in the crevices. I will then make sure the point of the stilt is on the raw clay.

[@pattybaumeister4769]

@@jamiemeador2967 Thank you!

[@dennystewart3238]

So the clay doesn't stick to the acrylic heart?

[@jamiemeador2967]

Yes, you'll need to use a release agent or line with plastic. I use cooking spray or wd40.

@@jamiemeador2967 Thank you. I thought that would be the case. LOVE your videos by the way!
