[@KathrynHalstead]

Totally awesome! I love your faux stones. The crackles in this one are so realistic. I can tell you put a lot of thought into your creations. As I love making faux stones I really appreciate your time and effort and, of course, your kindness in sharing how you make them. Thank you Kathryn.

[@KathrynHalstead]

Glad you like them!

[@purplelorain6180]

Absolutely amazeballs, love how you made the layers smoosh together for a more natural stone effect. I'm sure that you'll find a purple loving friend to gift them to lols xx

Wow Kathryn they turned out so gorgeous! I was on the edge of my seat watching this lol. Thank you so much for this great tutorial. One of my granddaughters saw this and her comment was “Grama you know how much I love Amethyst right, so I would really love you to make me one of these” 💓💓💓

[@KathrynHalstead]

Aw how lovely 🥰 you’d better get your clay out 😂.

[@amandadobson4229]

Beautiful Kathryn, I’m going to make some stones for my journals, it will save a fortune not buying real stones.

Thanks Amanda

I just wanted to say thank you for doing the captions for your videos instead of just using auto-captions. I’m Deaf and I do appreciate this. I love your videos, you show things clearly and it’s easy to follow along.

Awesome tutorial. I ordered my white alcohol ink two weeks ago. Order was lost. No one here in Reno has it anywhere. I was ready to report it lost. Checked Amazon tracking earlier and it’s being delivered today. Guess what I’ll be doing? Happy Day!!

I just love your vids- you have such a unique way of putting everything together. just beautiful. I know you are busy but if you have the time- would love to to see your take on lapiz lazuli- thanks so much Kath! Have a great week! -Maria

[@KathrynHalstead]

Ohhh yes that’s a pretty one I’ll add it to my list x thank you x

[@blessthisemptynest]

I have recently found polymer clay, I’m not very artistic so watching you making your jewellery has shown me that even I may be able to pull this off. Those pieces are beautiful. I love purple, so I reckon I’m gonna be making myself some new accessories. Thank you 😊 Merry Christmas to you and yours xo

Hi and thanks Melissa, yes ts been nice catching up with friends and family x

[@tracybrightlitecraftyartis1178]

Your purple looks like periwinkle. I'm definitely doing this!! Thank you so much for sharing!💖

[@tracybrightlitecraftyartis1178]

I'm definitely going to use that red/ blue mix ,cause I'm really liking that dusty purple look.

[@KathrynHalstead]

Thanks Tracy, Im not a big purple fan but that colour mix worked well didn't it ..... i think if i did it again I would make it a tad darker with a grain of black but its a nice colour xx thanks for watching x

[@swright4837]

Love watching you create with polymers clay. Trying to find the molds you used here. Some help in finding them would greatly appreciated

[@sandrawhaites5355]

Wow amazing tutorial Thankyou Kathryn. Amethyst is my favourite stone so I will definitely be giving this a try

[@KathrynHalstead]

Thank you Sandra x

[@denisewoodsd10]

Beautiful job as always! 😀

Thank you Denise x

[@safehavensanctuary-hollyg.8814]

I love your stone technique! You have perfected it. I know citrine/topaz isn't a stone that lends itself to a polymer clay faux technique but can you try? I just love the yellows and oranges in a topaz. Thank you

[@KathrynHalstead]

I could try … I’ll add it to my list for you

[@safehavensanctuary-hollyg.8814]

Thank you 💖

[@KathrynHalstead]

I’ve actually found a natural citrine which is very much like the amethyst but using orange and yellow with white bands so I’ll have a practice and see if I can do it justice 😂

[@carolinehatch7209]

I love amethyst and your technique turned out so well! It is this afternoon's project. A question about translucent though - I condition my clay on the thinnest setting I can manage usually a 6 or 7 - because I use a lot of Fimo and as you have found, it is the devil to condition - but, because of air bubbles and placquing (sp?) would it be better to condition translucent it on about a 3 on an Atlas machine? Thanks again for all the great things you teach us.

Me either Leona 🤣. But I was pleased too

[@cathyrezba3132]

I knife you don't use a lot of colors, but it does help to see what can be done with the faux stones. Thank you, for this tutorial.

[@KathrynHalstead]

You’re welcome Cathy…. I try my best 😂

[@patschwab4083]

They look great. I am not a big fan of purple either but I know people who are obsessed with it.

[@KathrynHalstead]

Yes I get lots of requests….Thanks for watching

[@barbarajackson3076]

Thank you for doing this! I am going to be trying your technique and may have questions about exact types of clay you used when I start. I follow you on all social media except Instagram which I hardly ever use but I love your outcomes. Thank you again!

[@KathrynHalstead]

Aw thanks Barbara. Ask away x

[@persesrathert8324]

For that whispy amethyst stone you have, do you think your smudge technique could achieve an effect that would duplicate that?

[@KathrynHalstead]

yes my bokeh effect would probably work .... subtle colours do give a more whispy effect x

[@amandadobson4229]

Is there any chance you could make a lapis tutorial? It’s my favourite stone but I can’t find a tutorial I like.

[@KathrynHalstead]

Ill add it on my list Amanda x

[@beckyg516]

What do you mean when you said you “leached” the clay because it tends to be sticky? What’s leaching?

Purple is not a colour I reach for either , I know it’s massively popular, I don’t hate it ,it’s just better with other colours I think ,good idea with the post it notes, I’m gettin on a bit now,so need all that 😂

[@persesrathert8324]

You may not like purple but it clearly loves you! What you have achieved here is stunning. The domed square piece has what I was hoping to see. Under the top band of purple is a hazy color showing. Of course it must be purple, but it’s like a misty shadow-like effect. Is that the purple on the back side showing through the translucent? It’s marvelous. I’d love to make that piece. And for the first time I can see what you’ve been talking about concerning the crackle. Did you achieve that crackle just from the alcohol? Are you using a 99% alcohol solution? The others are also beautiful, it’s just that the square really showed off your “recipe” for the banding and use of translucent clay. This is my absolute favorite outcome. Well, I haven’t checked out the link in the description box and may have missed other stone tutorials, so I should say, “Up until now” ! You are so creative. So well done and thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial. Just amazingly gorgeous. Your “chevron” pendant is beautiful, too. I love the design of that necklace - it’s perfect. Looks like you found a different string to use in the picture. Do you sell your work?

[@KathrynHalstead]

wow lots of questions ..... so yes just purple showing through, yes just crackled with a little bit of mica and alcohol 99% ...i think the others were rhetorical ha ha ha i just do commissions at the moment ... and thank you xx
