Introduction - How to Make Paper Mache Jewellery.

Please use head phones to listen to this video - it was the first one i ever made and the sound is very quiet indeed but I think it's still well worth watching and listening to. I have put subtitles to help.
Here I am describing what I am imagining will be some of my future tutorials using paper mâché to make jewellery etc.
I will be using epoxy moulding paste - as in Siligum, epoxy resin, paper mache paste, Modroc, metal leaf, found objects, natural forms etc.
Siligum - amzn.eu/d/89S5MCx
Modroc - amzn.eu/d/ds1dE9C
Rayher Paper Mache Paste - amzn.eu/d/a7ES1Jz
Epoxy resin is nowadays widely available on Amazon. I now use a high grade resin from www.epodex.com/ - contact them and explain what you plan to do. They have resin for all applications.

You are definitely inspiring me. I thought I was already going crazy enough seeing everything as a mold. Now you have me looking at even more things!!!

Great demo! Love the "Copy Left".

Can you tell me exactly what type of papier mache your using & also about the molding compound and can I find them both in the states?

[@HilaryBravo]

I used a product - an air dried papier mache by a company called Rayher but there are so many similar brands to use. I am sure you will find one in the U.S.A. The moulding compound id called Siligum by Pebeo - pretty sure you can buy it on Amazon but again, there are other similar products available. It is a silicone moulding paste. Hope this helps Lorri.

Thank you so much I did find the paper mache clay and the plastic strips. Can't wait to explore this new area and work it into my designs especially if I can make rings. Also can you color the clay first?

[@LorriCarnevale]

Is the paper mache once dry take on the look of porcelain?

[@HilaryBravo]

yes

[@LorriCarnevale]

Oh because I've read it is like soft woos in looking for porcelain but strong
