Polymer Clay Project: Faux Jasper Saber Teeth

In this tutorial I'll show you how to make Mokume Gane using Faber Castell's Gelatos. I've been experimenting with them for a while and they're great fun to play around with.
We'll turn the Mokume Gane into faux jasper polymer clay cabochons and torpedo beads and we'll make a Saber Tooth necklace with them.

Thank you for showing us what we can do with Gelatos. I am now tempted to try your technique with a cool colors palette. I am also thankful for your instruction in threading leather cord. I did not think you could use a crimp bead and charlotte crimps with this material. This is opening up a new world for me in terms of how to hang my jewelry pieces.

[@liletteautrey8481]

Love it so easy to do and I prefer the yellow one with less gold in

[@aartois]

This is surely one of the best polymer clay tutorials ever made, thank you Samantha xx

[@joannaremson3657]

I have watched so many tutorials that I can not make up my mind which one I want to attempt first! Lol

[@sueyounglove9253]

They look great Sam.

[@CountryRefuge]

Samantha, I really like these a lot! I'm not a warm colors person, so how much I like this is a rare compliment, lol. What impressed me with the video is the diversity of looks you created with just three colors, based on how much of each color you used and the shape of the beads/cabochons you made. Wonderful job--as always!

[@shadowemery1070]

Once again another awesome tutorial! It makes my day when you post new ones both here and on your Patreon site. :)

[@RD9_Designs]

I enjoyed the tutorial on this technique. Love the colors! I am imagining this in all the colors of the rainbow! Thanks for sharing, Samantha, your tutorials are always a treat! Rachel D

Wow! Thank you for sharing so many techniques! Especially the gelatos, I’ve bought them years ago and now I can use them! The way of explaining is so nice, so clear and you’ve got a very good film quality! It’s nice to see a tutorial of you! I’m always looking forward to it! Thanks again and please make a lot more tutorials!

[@elizabethdillinger8735]

Very cool! I appreciate seeing new and different mixed media added to the polymer. The Gelatos. We’re not so thing I had ever considered. Great job.

[@joycep7879]

I really like your videos! You really explain things well. I have just started with polymer clay. I really just wanted to make some memory beads from my mom's funeral. I was wondering if you have, or someone else had, made a video telling what the difference in all the different types of polymer clay are. I have seen, souffle, pearl, transparent, translucent, sculpey 3, effect, accents, etc...

[@JessamaTutorials]

I don't have a video on what all the different types of polymer clay are, but I do have a few articles here. www.jessamatutorials.com/polymer-clay.html www.jessamatutorials.com/polymer-clay-2.html I also know that Cindy Lietz from Polymer Clay Tutor does a lot of reviews on the different types of clay brands. kzbin.info

[@fydon5717]

God bless you

[@laureenhawes8093]

Beautiful as always. Although I do have Guilders paste, can this be done with ink as well? Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorials!

[@JessamaTutorials]

I don't see why ink won't work. I haven't tried it so I don't know how it would turn out, but you should try it. Sounds interesting.

[@nicoleboucher2803]

Again, another great tutorial Samantha, thank you. May I ask where you purchase your charlotte crimps from?

[@JessamaTutorials]

I get mine from ebay. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=bull+crimps&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xcharlotte+crimps.TRS0&_nkw=charlotte+crimps&_sacat=0

[@TheMaru04]

Beautiful where do you buy all your findings I can’t find the Charlotte crimp and where can I buy the gelato pens , thanks :)

[@JessamaTutorials]

You can look on ebay for the Charlotte crimps. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=bull+crimps&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xcharlotte+crimps.TRS0&_nkw=charlotte+crimps&_sacat=0 You can also buy Gelato pens here. www.happythings.eu/us/search/Gelatos/

Jessama Tutorials HappyThings is a great shop! Thank you for sharing this shop!

[@Wolfkins1972]

Sorry found it in your list 👍

[@leylakettlun1317]

Hello Jessama, first, congratulate you for the beautiful things you do. I'm not missing any of your tutorials. I would like to ask you how you finish your pieces; I made this tutorial exactly like you and with the same products and brands; everything went well, I polished it and polished it but it did not give me the result like yours that finished had a perfect shine. What sand and polish? Or do you finish it with resins? Regards Leyla

[@JessamaTutorials]

Smoothing off your beads before putting them in the oven is quite important. This will remove finger prints. Once baked I spent around ten to fifteen minutes per bead sanding working up from a 400 grit sandpaper to a 8000 grit. Then I placed a bit of Renaissance wax on then and buffed with my buffing wheel. Rubbing the beads down on some old soft fabric will also work instead of using a buffing wheel.

[@polymerclayinspired7248]

Hi Samantha what size leather did you use 1mm or 2mm thanks for sharing

[@JessamaTutorials]

I used 1mm leather.

[@mrsninisk]

WOW! Beautiful!! Is it Baroque Art Gilders paste-- 'Inca Gold' that you used?

[@JessamaTutorials]

Yes. I bought mine from here. www.firemountaingems.com/search/?keywords=gilders+paste

[@mrsninisk]

Thank you!

[@sophiemesnil3800]

I did not know this product...i love this ! do you think gelatos can be used with silkscreen ? Thanks for this tuto !

[@JessamaTutorials]

No. They would wreck a silkscreen. I have tried them with great success on stencils though. If you're looking to buy some I got mine from here. www.happythings.eu/us/search/Gelatos/

[@sophiemesnil3800]

I'm going to see this products, i make my own stencils with my craft robo....thank you for your response !

[@sophiemesnil3800]

Happythings shop is great, there are many choices of silkscreen ! i'll keep it in my favorites !

[@planetjanet747]

Samantha I love this tutorial and I purchased some ink gold and a set of bright gelatos. Do you have any other tutorials using these? I don't have the best imagination so I need lots of examples before I can create something original. Anyway, thanks very much for the great tutorial!!!

[@JessamaTutorials]

You can try out this technique if you want. www.jessamatutorials.com/mokume-gane-tutorial.html. The gelatos are also great to use with stencils.

[@RamoArt]

Gelatos are water-soluble so you can paint with them and use them like watercolors.

[@dmsdana4501]

Oh my gosh, Samantha, this technique is great! So simple but such a pretty result! One question...can alcohol ink be used in place of the water-based gelato pens? Thanks!! 💜💜💜

[@JessamaTutorials]

You could use alcohol ink, but it would give a different effect.

[@dmsdana4501]

Jessama Tutorials Thanks, I'll have to give it a try! 😊

[@jasminehealey9405]

Hey Samantha- (I'm back to bother you again!) I love this tutorial & your end result is so beautiful. I'm also really excited because for a change, I actually already have all the supplies needed! Anyway, I have two question if you don't mind- 1st, I'm wondering about the cabachons. I'm not familiar with them at all & my (unknowledgable) understanding of them is that they need to be put into a bezel. But now I'm assuming I'm wrong because you shaped yours using a free form & I don't see how it's possible to have a bezel in that exact shape. So can you tell me what you'll do to make those cabs into necklace pendants? And secondly- are the crimp beads you used on the leather cord just the standard size? The ones I always find at the store are (I think) 2mm wide, so is that what you're using? Or do you need a larger size to get it around the leather? Ok, that's all for now. Thanks so much for another great tutorial & for reading another one of my long questions!

[@JessamaTutorials]

Well when I make cabochons I generally don't put them into a bezel. I like to finish off the backs and then drill them to use as pendants, especially ones this large. If I wanted to put them in a bezel I'd make the bezel from polymer clay and shape it around the cabochon I want so that it fits. The crimp beads I'm using are about 3mm on the inside diameter, but not all leather is that thickness. I using really thin 2mm thick leather. So it depends on the thickness of the leather for what crimp beads you'll need.

[@jasminehealey9405]

Jessama Tutorials ohh yeah, ok.. that all makes sense. Thank you so much!

[@marlene1557]

Hi Samantha 👋 I love your tutorial on these gelatos. I have a question...could I use gelatos for starters rather than alcohol inks? Do they compare at all? I have to choose one or the other right now. Annnndddd... I'm really loving these gelatos 🥰😁

[@JessamaTutorials]

Gelatos are very different from alcohol inks. As far as which one is more versatile alcohol inks are the one I'd go with.

[@marlene1557]

@@JessamaTutorials Samantha, thank you for your time to reply with your knowledge ♥️ you're so helpful 😊 Through your tutorials, I've learned...if I can't find the beads I want (for my beading designs) ...I can make them 😁♥️ Luv n hugs to you and your family for sharing all you do. From 64 y.o. Nana

[@adelaidee84]

I thought to pop on here since I also like these beads. I was curious whether you have to seal somehow the gelattos since are also used in watercolor..do they come off once the final piece is baked in case you have it wet? or it just bakes inside the translucent clay and stays there? :) That would be ideal..

[@JessamaTutorials]

It bakes inside the translucent and so doesn't need to be sealed. I sand it to remove any surface gelatto so that it's only embedded inside the clay.

[@adelaidee84]

@@JessamaTutorials Aw thank you so much Samantha for replying to me, very thoughtful of you! I wish you a very inspiring day all the way from Canada! Adele

[@lindasmith3646]

Samantha, I couldn’t make out what you said the setting for the clay was. 3rd thickest, or thinnest setting?

[@JessamaTutorials]

Thinnest setting.
