Jesmonite Clock *Drilling into Jesmonite*

Hey lovelies, in this video I show you how I make a Jesmonite Clock. I also show you how to drill in to Jesmonite and we will see how easy or difficult it is.

Now that is out of the way ... I hope you love this clock as much as I do.

Thanks so much Laurence x really glad you like it xx ❤

[@christinahutchison3967]

Loved this video and your channel. Your enthusiasm is contagious. As for the pots instead of drilling you put a straw a dowel rod or something of that sort into the mold to make the hole so if you did have to drill it would only be a small amount so you would reduce your risk of hurting your pot. I’ve done this with Plaster of Paris concrete and air dry clay in it worked very well for me can’t wait to see all your new projects

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyyy lovely .... thank you so much ! Yes I was actually toying with the idea of a hot glue stick going in the centre .... as I know silicone can handle hot glue ! But I was worried about ruining the mould ! 😍😍 haaaa but really great tip !

[@LiveItLikeLisa]

Eek I can not wait!! I’ve been waiting for this one!! Ok I’ll be back at the end! Oh yes the space around the mandala is just screaming for numbers but I’m not sure if the style of the numbers you have would suit the fancy clock arms. Also in my next vlog video I actually show how to toned down the brassy gold into a more vintage looking gold but not sure if this would suit your clock either. What about cutting out some fancy gold numbers using your Cricut machine?? Would vinyl stick to it?? I’m picturing in my heads like a script style font for the numbers, swirly and fancy.

[@LiveItLikeLisa]

Oh I forgot to mention......ITS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING BY THE WAY!!! Lol

Hi Claire! About a month ago I randomly found your channel and you got me completely hooked! I've started buying all sorts of moulds for my stash and soon enough I think I'll have the confidence to actually get some Jesmonite and start playing with it. I think I'd paint the numbers on with some acrylic gold (or even get a stencil for some fancy numbers and paint it like that, could be so cool I think!). The clock is so pretty and delicate, I don't think the plastic numbers do it justice. Fabulous work!

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thank you so much xx I am glad you found me and you're hooked ! sorry in advance for the spending x lol

[@petragerbracht]

Congratulations 🎈 for another beautiful video ❤️

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thankyou so much lovely 😍

[@RamoArt]

The numbers do look a bit cheap because they're so shiny, I think I would try painting them with gold spray paint to make them match the clock better. The gray jesmonite looks so chic!

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Heyyyy Ramo... yes that is what I was thinking too but such a good idea to Spray Paint them ... it will tone them down a bit ! Great tip thank you xxx
