Making polymer clay mushroom pendant - time lapse tutorial

In this video I show you how to make a mushroom pendant using
polymer clay, simple clay modeling tools, acrylic paints,
protective wax and natural crystal.
For a better final effect, as well for better protection for the pendant
(to prevent paint peeling and scratching), I coated it with a layer of epoxy resin.
The effect can be seen in the pictures at the end of the video, but the part
where I work with epoxy resin is not recorded. If you want to
see how I work with epoxy resin in the next videos feel free to comment. Also
write a comment if you have questions and suggestions.

Hello I realy like your art;) but... Can I ask, can I bake every Crystal ?

[@ellieart4233]

Thank you

[@lisadurham7186]

Those are beautiful! What type of protective wax do you use?

[@ellieart4233]

i use this wax from the link ---- www.amazon.co.uk/Chalky-Chic-Marabu-26225840-Crackle/dp/B01E7VL8MQ. I apply the wax before painting with acrylic paints because it sticks well to the polymer clay, does not slip and creates a good non-slip surface for the acrylic paints. Also, with its patina effect, the work is shaded and given a much more beautiful visual effect. For the same purpose, ordinary brown acrylic paint can be used if it does not slip from the polymer clay

[@maiaberbichashvili562]

Beautiful work! Thank you for tutorial! just subscribed. your creations are amazing, inspiring work! Question: which patina protective wax do you use?

[@ellieart4233]

Thank you

[@tatum4126]

Pure talent! I love these. Do you sell them?

[@ellieart4233]

Yes I sell them, but only in our country because it's difficult to sell outside 'cause of bank problems.

[@omgstephanieify]

Would this work with air dry clay?

[@melodythomas9460]

lovely tutorial!! thank you for sharing with us! I'd love to know what the purpose of brown patina wax before painting is?

[@ellieart4233]

Thank you very much. I paint with a brown patina to give shading. The brown color penetrates into the depths, I wipe it from the surface of the bumps, and in this way a beautiful shading is obtained. I use wax instead of ordinary acrylic paint because the wax makes the surface of the polymer clay less slippery and makes the acrylic paint, which I then apply, not slip and stays on the surface better. I don't know if you've ever painted on polymer clay, but sometimes it's very difficult because the paint doesn't absorb into the smooth surface of the polymer clay, so I apply a layer of wax before painting. But in the meantime I found a polymer clay that is good for coloring, it's called papa's clay and it's really suitable for coloring after baking.

[@alicemacgillivray-wy3np]

Beautiful creations. Does the crystal lock into the clay without glue .?

[@ellieart4233]

In my case, there was no need for glue because I use clay that is very soft and sticky, easily sticks to crystals and other surfaces. On the other hand, when I work with FIMO, I always use glue.

[@Ditto....]

Where do ya get the Ccrystal's? I've looked everywhere. Thanks

[@Nerdpainter]

amazon has them. or at least they did. also etsy im sure does.

[@RondaElam]

Could you tell me specifically about the colored products you used to achieve the patina?

[@ellieart4233]

I used the Marabu Chalky-Chic Protective Wax Patina Brown. www.docrafts.com/Products/marabu/marabu-chalky-chic-protective-wax-patina-brown/97679

[@ellieart4233]

It is intended for coating wood, but has an excellent effect on polymer clay

[@JudysRevenge]

@@ellieart4233 they don't sell that in the US, is there something else I can use??

[@ellieart4233]

​@@JudysRevenge You can use acrylic paint. I use that wax because it takes more time to dry and I have time to remove it and because the wax color blends and gives more natural patina effect.. But acrylic paint can also give a good effect. The problem is that it dries quickly and is harder to wipe from the surface, but even in that case there is a solution, you can remove it with a nail polish remover.

[@dominiquescalia104]

Can I use air-dry clay for this project?

[@ellieart4233]

I haven't worked with air-drying clay yet, but I guess it can. In any case it is worth a try

[@vicb4220]

Is it safe to bake the crystals in the owen

[@ellieart4233]

Yes it's safe. I bake them on 110 degrees.

[@tracylawless1098]

When baking it with the crystal it didnt crack the crystal any?

[@ellieart4233]

No, crystals don't break while baking.

[@farialmab4723]

Some do, many don’t, can google type to be sure. Always naturally time cool, never water quench, that Will break all, even diamonds.

[@TheShawna78]

Is it just me or is the video quality not that good. Keeping in mind I don’t have the best eyesight to begin with. But love love love the finished product! ❤️

[@ellieart4233]

Yes, the quality is not that good because I recorded this on nightlight. so the details are not very visible.

[@nicolegina6338]

I don’t understand how people use polymer clay because you have to bake it and if you’re putting that crystal inside the oven couldn’t that start a fire?

[@ellieart4233]

the polymer clay is baked at a temperature of up to 130 degrees Celsius for about half an hour. The crystal withstands much, much higher temperatures so there is no danger. I bake the polymer clay together with the crystals, with glass parts, with wood, and I have even tried with epoxy resin because I had an epoxy resin cabochon on which I made a frame of polymer clay and it was all very successful. Crystals, wood or glass can not be damaged at that low temperature, I just do not recommend baking with plastic.
