GORgeous, as usual. You can always glitter your new tool... Yes you can, you have the knowledge.

Faktycznie Cernit translucent po wypieczeniu ma moc 😁 Fenomenalnie wyszły te wisiory 🤩 Zastanawia mnie jak po wypieczeniu wygląda sam opal. Super są Twoje projekty - proste a jednoczesnie super ❤

[@leonanelson2444]

Very pretty, thank you

[@joannascorner4478]

Czesc Dagmara!!! Sam opal nie wyglada zbyt interesujaco. Wole jak wyglada gdy go dodaje sie do plastelity. Ja jestem w stanie tylko proste projekty robic! Twoje projekty sa bardzo atrystyczne, a moje tak nie zabardzo! Ha,ha

Joanna, you are so sweet. I just love listening to how excited you get! You are just the “BEST” ❤❤❤

[@joannascorner4478]

Do I get too excited?? Sometimes I probably do! Because I am just in my comfort zone when I'm crafting, ya know. Thank you for the sweet words my friend ! Friends like me make my creativity flow! Have a beautiful day! Hugs from scorching California!

Really beautifull. I love all your works 😍. But please,don't forget to wear a mask when you sand your pieces, for your safety ❤

[@joannascorner4478]

Thank you so much my friend for watching and for caring. I really should be better about wearing mask while sanding.

[@kellyweber627]

Beautiful 😍

[@joannascorner4478]

Thank you my dear, Kelly! Hope you had a really good weekend!

[@karenthomas2302]

That opal is beautiful clay, but if it’s warm in the house it sticks to you pasta machine like crazy. lol and hand held drill/sanders have been around for over 30 yrs first one is the dremel then all the new kinds like you have, have tons of fun with all them goodies, and I love the "stone" you made the opal seems to enhance it. Beautiful. Tfs hugs from AV.

[@joannascorner4478]

Thank you Karen for watching! I'm on the fence about the opal clay. I may have to give it another go to form my complete opinion about it. I love my sanding tool! So so fun! Looks like you might want to spend this weekend indoors my friend!

[@karenthomas2302]

@@joannascorner4478 that’s where I have been even the pool doesn’t look inviting the heat hitting it and making the water even hotter ya no thanks to hot for me, but I hate summer. lol but I’m baby sitting a pug this weekend his momma is working out of town for a week. But puglet being the puglet as well as still a baby he is a hand full. lol he don’t like the water either. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 so it’s a no win situation with this heat. So Inside and trying to stay cool. As the pug terrorizes me. lol at least he is cute. 🤣🤣🤣

Hi my sweet friend 🙂 I am finally trying to get caught up on your videos! I love the colors of this pendant! They are beautiful colors for fall or any other time of year! As much as we love glitter (I can't believe I'm saying this. LOL) I think this pendant would look better without the glitter 😂😂I have a dremel which is pretty much the same thing as your new tool but I don't use it often enough even though I absolutely love it and it makes it so much easier to sand, drill, and polish small projects 🙂Big hugs my sweet glitter sister 🙂

[@joannascorner4478]

My glitter sister, thank you so much! I love, love my dremel! What an amazing tool it is! Now that I have it, I can't be without it! Hugs

[@lynnthomas8848]

It really is a game changer! I just got mine about 2 weeks ago. Like butter! So impressed with tool.

[@joannascorner4478]

I so so love it! Amazing tool at a reasonable price!

[@joannascorner4478]

Thank you so much!

[@SCOTTIETHOMPSON10314]

Those turned out beautifully Joanna! I've tried the opal clay a couple of times and I really don't like it - maybe the texture of it with the iridescent pieces just didn't work right for me - but your pieces are really great. I like the drilling tool also - I have a Dremel but it doesn't have drill bits so this might be the way to go. Thanks for your continued inspiration!!

[@joannascorner4478]

I know what you mean about opal clay, Scottie. I'm on the fence about it. There's definitely a difference in texture and someone else said that opal gives them difficult time in the pasta machine. I will likely just turn it into small additions to my pieces. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. And the rotary tool is really great and I love that its cordless.

[@kerryhall7506]

Hi l didn’t like the Opal At All but now l mix it with Translucent And It’s A lot Easier To Use IMO

[@jokelly3595]

Hi Joanna. I love these pendants they are beautiful. I was wondering about the polyurethane that you mention. What is it? I know about UV resin. It is different from this? Thank you. Xx

[@joannascorner4478]

Thank you my dear friend! You are way too kind. You can find polyurethane in home depot or Lowe's. It is varnish that people use for finishing the floors. It comes on gloss, matte and satin. The one that I am using is gloss. It works great on jewelry and even paintings if you want to varnish your work. Resin is s different beast. You get amazing results with resin but it is definitely more expensive. Hope this answered your question.

[@jilllederer9628]

Hi Joanna I was wondering where you purchased your cordless drill and sander?

[@joannascorner4478]

Hello my friend! I got it on Amazon and I seriously love it!

[@kerryhall7506]

Hi Joanna l use Cernit Translucent and l Love it 💕🤍💕

[@joannascorner4478]

Oh, it's so fun to use! I wish that I could find more translucent colors. I would like to try all the colors! Thank you so much ,Kerry!
