Faux fluorite - gemstone imitation technique polymer clay tutorial - 127

NOTE: for some reason the youtube processing made the sound very loud for my last two videos. Please turn the volume down a bit and it will be fine. I'll make sure to make the sound of a lower volume for the next videos.
I promised to make more gemstone imitation techniques. I decided on the fluorite because we will use it in one of the pieces made with a mokume gane veneer.
I forgot to mention in the video, fluorite also is sometimes fluorescent.
There are more ways than one to make faux fluorite, this is just the simplest and less time-consuming one.
Happy claying!
I buy my Premo and Pardo clays and many other supplies from PolyClay Play.

The colors are given in Premo. I have received questions about making this with tinted translucents in the Cernit brand, I have no idea as I have never used them. I am now discussing with Delphine (Au Fil des Creas Phine) and she will try reproducing this with Cernit. As soon as she's done I'll link her video. Also, I don't have Pardo tinted translucent either so no idea.

[@jules4888]

I absolutely LOVE how you give alternate options for products (mica powders, etc) that people may not have on hand. Thank you for that! These cabochons turned out beautifully and I am planning to try my hand at making them this week :)

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you! I'll put out soon the Pardo variant for this

[@bethwilcox3971]

I love the results from this tutorial! I like to make faux stones and I love this idea. I will be trying this over the weekend! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you!

[@rfgrannyb4092]

wow looks good! I love flourite

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you!

[@nadinelempereur8337]

J'adore le résultat obtenu, c'est magnifique! J'aimerais pouvoir faire aussi bien que toi. Encore bravo Kalyana, tu es une artiste, tu as vraiment beaucoup de talent, je t'admire. Merci pour tes tutos

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Merci Nadine! Je suis sure que tu peux faire cette technique, c'est vraiment tres tres simple! Envoie moi des photos du resultat!

[@nadinelempereur8337]

Merci Kalyana, ta proposition me touche beaucoup. Je vais faire le test sans tarder mais je ne sais pas si j'obtiendrais le même résultat que toi car je n'ai pas de pâte Premo mais uniquement de la Cernit. Je vais donc essayer avec de la translucent blanche et de la translucent de couleur, et.......ce sera la surprise!! Par contre peux-tu me dire quelle est la poudre que tu ajoutes?

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Je crois que si tu utilises le violet et une combinaison the emerald et sapphire, et aussi melanges en quantites egales avec du pure translucent tu seras ok

[@nadinelempereur8337]

Je vais essayer. Merci Kalyana pour tes précieux conseils.

[@shadowbane1253]

Excellent as always. It looks so real that I bet you that the only thing that would give it away is the weight. You know gemstones, lady.

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you

[@donnar9864]

Just stunning!!

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you! 😊

[@ludange4141]

Wouaaaaaaaa fantastique , très réaliste et très impressionnante cette technique , mille bravo et merci !!! Sylvie

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Merci, Sylvie!

[@joyceengland3947]

Made some of these and they turned out pretty but I went back and put in more fractures and they are awesome! Thank you!

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

You are welcome! Yes, the fractures are very important for realism

[@emanattra101]

It's fantastic i like your work so much you are my favorite artist .🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you!

[@deborahrice5988]

Absolutely gorgeous! I happen to have the Pardo trans-lilac and trans-aqua. I have a few other pieces to finish, and after that I'll try this in Pardo and see how it does. As you know, I love realistic imitation stones. Thanks Day!

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

You're welcome, Deborah! By what I could see online (never had tinted translucent Pardo to work with, only untinted translucent) it should work perfectly. And I know you got some of that ghost interference powders, so you're all set! Btw, do you have Kato Polyclay> *wink*

[@deborahrice5988]

Yep! I've got everything I need! ;-) This will be my first time using the tinted translucent, so I'm excited to try them out. I'll double check them against the Premo color mixes and let you know.

[@christinaaugustine27]

Awesome tutorial! You explained so clearly ! Thank God you are using Premo clay cause that's all I have ! Fimo is too hard for my arthritis ;-)

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Ha, same here. Thank you!

[@cecilecharial8555]

Magnifique et très bien vu, merci!

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Merci!

[@aegiroux]

Beautiful!! Thank you.

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you!

[@StarlightAkari]

Please do faux rainbow moonstone! I have been looking EVERYWHERE to find a way to create that look!

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

I will at one point do that too. That type of labradorite is among my most favorite stones as well and I've done the faux, just not in a tutorial yet. Until I do my tutorial on that, you might want to check Ludmila Bakulina's tutorial, you can find it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpyboWWhmq2Kb9E

[@my2girlsu]

Very effective imitation, great tut. I know you, what's next ? the raw crystal perhaps? Thanks Kelli D🇨🇦

[@KalyanaDesignTutorials]

Thank you! Well I could do that but why?

[@my2girlsu]

Cause they are so cool to look at
