[@gailwoodard2693]

Love the colors!

[@amm7364]

Everything you do with clay is absolutely fantastic!! Thank you for your tutorials 😊

[@joannascorner4478]

I am so glad you are enjoying the projects! Thank you so much!

[@pattallant2398]

Looks so easy and fun! Pretty too. Thank you! 👍😊

[@joannascorner4478]

Thank you, Pat! This one is simple with great results. I think most of my projects are rather easy because I am not a very sophisticated crafter! Ha, ha!

[@gabydavis10]

This was a great idea Joanna!! Adding the inks after baking! 👍 Thank you so much. I really enjoy your tutorials and your funny and sweet nature- you create beautiful things with few materials that most of us have. Please keep them coming! You make me smile each time ☺️

[@joannascorner4478]

Thank you, Gaby, for you kind words! You have no idea how much they mean to me! So thank you! I'm very passionate about what I do and I love sharing on both of my you tube channels projects with others that are budget friendly and not over the top fancy.

Im new to watching these and you’re my favorite. I have some things now but haven’t tried anything. I would like one of those little silver cutters, mini ruler, or whatever it is. Lol I’m wondering something… If you don’t have black clay, can it be colored?

[@joannascorner4478]

Welcome my friend! And thank you so much for watching! I am fortunate to have black clay on hand so I never had to color clay black. With that being said I have colored plenty of white clay with different colors of alcohol ink so you might be able to do it with black alcohol ink. However, I am not sure if you will be able to achieve the crisp black color. You may have to try it out my friend! See you in the next video!

[@myshaderoom2344]

Gorgeous and super easy!!! Thank you, I love your tutorials!

[@joannascorner4478]

Thank you so much, my friend! You are so sweet!

[@cathyrezba3132]

I like the idea of waiting until the pendant is baked to put the alcohol ink on it. It really does make it look more vibrant.

[@joannascorner4478]

Yes, it really does. I really don't see a reason to put it on before baking, but I have people do it. Thank you so much, Cathy, for watching!

[@vanessaharling1957]

Hi they are stunning.Did you do the backs.?

[@joannascorner4478]

Thank you so much, Vanessa! I left the back in black clay and only add clear, matte varnish to it. I can totally see how you could put two of these pendants back to back so the back and the front would have resin on it. That would be super nice, especially if you did the front and the back in different colors. Thank you so much for watching, Vanessa!

[@vanessaharling1957]

Hi ,no sorry what I mean is the bit that goes around the neck,the necklace,is it cord or leather? Many thanks

[@joannascorner4478]

oh sorry Vanessa!! I use black cord for this pendant.

[@bewareoftheleaven]

These are so beautiful and you’ve really made the process so much easier. For some reason your black looks like a dirty purple whereas on other videos back looks black. Do you have any idea why? Thank you.

[@joannascorner4478]

Thank you so much for watching! I have no clue why it is looking purple! It might be my camera? But then I have been using the same camera. I'm using the same black clay in all my videos and its Michael's brand clay. I have no clue why it comes as purple but it is black. Thank you so much!

[@jenniferdye4407]

So I tried this and love how it came out but I struggled with the UV resin. It stays sticky no matter how long I cure it. I tried wiping it down with alcohol and it made it cloudy. Not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

[@joannascorner4478]

oh that is just terrible! Have you tried a different UV resin? I wonder if it is the resin or the uv machine that is the problem.

[@vanessaharling1957]

Hi again Joanne,thankyou for your reply . Just one more question what did you use for the necklace?😊

[@joannascorner4478]

It's polymer clay with silver leaf on top colored with alcohol ink.

[@michaelimhoff6354]

Hello Joanna! I absolutely love love love these and can not wait to try them! Just a quick question however can you use something like sculpey glaze or modge podge instead of the resin?

[@joannascorner4478]

Michael, I have never used modge podge on my pieces but I have used sculpey glaze! Resin will make the metallic shine more than the glaze but glaze will work for sure ! Have fun with it!

[@krisztinaholly]

Hello Joanna, this is beautiful! I'm wondering, real silver leaf, or does imitation silver leaf work?

[@joannascorner4478]

Hello Krisztina!! Thank you so much, my friend! it is an imitation silver left. I'm attaching link to Amazon so that you can see what exactly it is that I am using. Hope the link goes thru. www.amazon.com/Imitation-Gilding-Crafting-Decoration-Furniture/dp/B078YNHWWL/ref=sxin_10_pa_sp_search_thematic_sspa?crid=3VLA5I74QG14W&cv_ct_cx=silver+leaf+sheets&dchild=1&keywords=silver+leaf+sheets&pd_rd_i=B078YNHWWL&pd_rd_r=c518bec7-c9b8-425e-86b4-a4c2fbe0e4aa&pd_rd_w=40JBz&pd_rd_wg=o4v5R&pf_rd_p=9d5c7dec-ad7e-424f-9792-7751bf0f49a3&pf_rd_r=DMJ7YCG6W47EQ6KTMK7F&qid=1621260906&sprefix=silver+leaf+sh%2Caps%2C211&sr=1-4-a73d1c8c-2fd2-4f19-aa41-2df022bcb241-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzUUFRUVk0UE0wQ0NCJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUExMDM3OTI3MVU0R1U5WFlNTk81UiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNzQ5NDg3M1c0NTYxODVVQzJDMyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX3NlYXJjaF90aGVtYXRpYyZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0

[@sub_zer0_]

You're so cute. Like your just playing with it. With all the mess and stuff( im way messier 🤣) it turned it to a perfect piece😍 i love it.

[@joannascorner4478]

Thank you so much, Joy! The messier it gets , the more fun we have, right? Ha,ha!

[@tapashimookherjee5620]

lm from lndia..biginner othis art....pl let me learn of your this project.want to know the basic step..

[@joannascorner4478]

Hi Tapashi! I would love to help! Did you watch the video yet? I was hoping that it was explaining the steps but please let me know if you have more specific questions!

[@jilllederer9628]

How long do you bake it the second time?

[@joannascorner4478]

Jill, I'm so sorry, I tried to correct myself in the description. It was early in the morning when I did the recording and obviously was not awake yet! Ha, ha! I do not bake it once I add alcohol ink . I let it dry a little and add resin. So sorry for the confusion. Maybe I should not record in the morning!

[@lauralennard3744]

Absolutely beautiful thank you for sharing xx

[@joannascorner4478]

Thank you so much, Laura! Greatly appreciate your kind words!

[@cathysmith9026]

Love them

[@joannascorner4478]

Thank you so much, Cathy!! I am so glad you like them!

[@joannag8326]

Really beautiful design. Greetings from Joanna 😉

[@joannascorner4478]

Thank you so much, Joanna! I must say that I love your name! Ha,ha! Thank yuh I so much for watching!

[@joannag8326]

its a great idea with leaf. Did ever try hot embossing powders? You can get a lot more control with pattern 😊

[@joannascorner4478]

Funny that you said that.... I was just thinking about doing that because of the great detail that you can get but I didn't try it yet. I wonder if the heat got would burn the clay... have you tried it?

[@joannag8326]

@@joannascorner4478it's Joanna's power 😉 that's my plan for tomorrow. I'll be happy to let you know about results. Burning clay shouldn't be an issue as long as you won't keep heat gun in the same position

[@joannascorner4478]

Yes, please do let me know! I hope it works!

[@AllThingsSoul]

I could not see the project because of the camera glare. You can turn the ISO down on your video camera to make the scene a little darker, but you really have to hold the piece up to the camera, put your hand behind it so the camera knows to focus on it instead of the background, then you have to repeatedly tilt it in all directions so we can see it. Great idea!

[@joannascorner4478]

Thank you SO much for the advice! I do have issues with glare especially when resin is applied! Thank you so much for watching!

[@veronicabodartgonzalez203]

Thank you so much God bless you! I love it!

[@joannascorner4478]

Thank you so much for watching, Veronica! Hope you and your entire family have a wonderful Holiday Season! And this pendant would for sure make a great gift for someone!
