[@AnnaBlountArt]

[@k.mayabstractpointalism9962]

Wow! You just answered a bit question I have been looking for. A lot of paint pour artists say save your paint skins and sometimes they would show the paint skins on a piece of paper, but they wouldn't say what the paper was. Now I have my answer. Freezer paper! One question though. Could wax paper work too? As for making jewelry, that I have been doing for a few months using UV resin, but your tutorial on cabochons and how to use those, that was fantastic how you explained each step and showed the finished product. Thank you for sharing all of this with the KZbin viewers. I personally have learned a lot.

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Thank you! Wax paper won’t work as well…I have tried that myself and it wrinkles with the moisture. Freezer paper stays flat!

I have found that silicone kitchen cutting mats make it so easy to peel the acrylic paint off

[@AnnaBlountArt]

[@marlenedrewes]

Thank you for this great video. I've watched several others of yours lately too. I have a question about the jewelry. Instead of Diamond Glaze, will the Gorilla Glue not work? I have that but not the Diamond Glaze.

[@AnnaBlountArt]

I bet it would! Gorilla Glue recommends clamping for 2 hours, so if you follow that it makes the first step slightly more complicated. On the other hand, once you had several on a paint skin, you could probably just set a heavy book down on all of them.

[@marlenedrewes]

@@AnnaBlountArt Thank you very much for replying so quickly! I was just wondering whether you had tried it and it didn't dry clear or something, so I think I shall try the Gorilla Glue and see how it goes. p.s. sure enjoy your pouring on vases.

[@AnnaBlountArt]

@@marlenedrewes thanks! And yes, the gorilla glue in the video dries clear. I use it to glue the plastic discs to the bottom of my vases, so cabochons shouldn’t be much different!

[@KimScrapper]

Great video, looks like I could be going down another crafty rabbit hole...lol I had a question, why shouldn't you use paint mixed with silicone? I am new to all this and did buy silicone for another project so curious as why this mix shouldn't be used for jewelry. Thanks

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Thanks! I worry that the silicone oil wouldn’t bond well with the glue, and would cause the paint skin to separate from the cabochon (even a partial separation will make it look strange). I suppose if you wanted to clean your skins with soapy water on both sides, they might be usable though…

[@AlanAranguizPeterson]

Thank you for your jewelry-making video. Can you tell me if you can use cheap dollar-store paints (Acrylique) to make your paint skins for jewelry or if you have to use more pigmented paint such as Arteza? Thank you.

[@AnnaBlountArt]

You’re welcome! I don’t generally use paints from the dollar store, but I use a mix of craft paints and tube paints in my skins.

[@KealaTolbert]

You're so Awesome Anna!! Thank you so much for this video!! Learning a lot and enjoying what I see!! I'm just curious tho, what is a fair price to charge for all these pieces?

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Thank you! I think price depends a lot on where you are selling them, as well as the quality of your materials, etc. I live in West Virginia which is not a wealthy state, so my jewelry goes for the $10-15 per piece range. But probably in other areas it could be higher.

[@eetoved1758]

Thanks Anna, great video. I'm searching for a link for some hypoallergenic trays. Hoped to find one here. Can you tell me where you get yours? Thank you!

[@thisishowwerv7764]

Hello! I've dabbled with making jewelry with my paint skins, and it's going well. But some of the pieces have a strange shiny part under the cabochon. It looks like either the dried glue, or air bubbles that didn't pop....is there a way to avoid that from happening? After watching the video, I realize I haven't been as patient as you recommended, and have glued it all together the same sitting. I'll try letting the diamond glaze sit on the paint for a while before cutting them out. Do you think that will help? Thank you so much!!

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Yes, waiting 24 hours may help. I’ve had some shiny patches develop occasionally, usually if the diamond glaze didn’t get applied well. It doesn’t happen to me a lot so it’s hard to figure it out scientifically…

[@RosemaryBridges-b6m]

Hi there, can I use the same Gorilla glue to stick the skin to the glass cabouchon and then the skinned cabouchon to the keychain?

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Give it a try! I’ve always used Diamond Glaze but as long as you can get the gorilla glue bubble free, it should be fine!

Hello - I'm having trouble with my keychains, hopefully you can help? I saw a different video first so I was using E6000 but after gluing and clamping about half of my keychains have the pattern that's in the inside/back of the keychain. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? It's totally ruined the art that's inside. 😓 Any ways to salvage the parts to reuse? (Heat gun to heat up the glue and pop the glass out? Or are they scrap? 😓 I have gorilla glue at home already so I'll try that next instead of the E6000 glue. Thanks for any advice!

[@AnnaBlountArt]

Oh that’s weird! Hmm. I can’t think of any way to salvage them, as I don’t have experience with E6000. Do you use diamond glaze between the skin and the glass? How long are you waiting for it to cure before you cut around the skin?

I have some copper pendants that I concaved. How would I do an acrylics skin to fit?

Hm, I can’t quite picture what you mean. You can cut paint skins by hand to fit inside a pendant, then cover them with diamond glaze or resin if you don’t want to use cabochons!

@@AnnaBlountArt It is a copper disc with a concave

Yeah I hadn’t considered people making paint skins who didn’t already do fluid art! You can mix your acrylic paint just with water until it flows nicely, or mix with something like floetrol at about a 1:2 ratio (paint to floetrol).

It’s a good thought, but it seems like it would be hard to line up your punch EXACTLY where you want it over the design! Also, paint skins are sometimes quite thin and fragile, so I’d be afraid it would rip.
