Polymer Clay Ocean themed veneer Tutorial

First of all, this is not my technique. This was originally done by Samantha at Jessama designs. I watched it years ago before I was ever introduced to polymer clay. It's a really fun technique.

First, I had to laugh when you said, a quick video and I looked at the length of the video. 😂

I know what you did that’s bugging you and maybe someone else has already responded. When you initially put the jagged cut through the middle of the “footballs”, one was off to the left a little and one was off to the right a little, so when you swapped halves, you were putting the two bigger halves into one earring and the two smaller halves into the other earring.

Hi there, beautiful work. As a nail tech, we have wipe and no wipe gels so after they have been cured properly under UV lamp they have to be wiped with alcohol to remove tacky layer which is the uncured layer. Also UV takes longer to cure than LED - hope this helps x

JESSAMA TUTORIALS is where i learned this technique. ❤️

Samantha Burroughs at Jessama tutorials in August 2017. I was just watching it this morning!

Thankyou so much for your generosity by sharing with us! 😊

I think Samantha Burroughs did this but not the crackle. Love watching you “invent”. The cutter is awesome.

I have wondered before about cutting things in half and swapping them, so I'm glad I saw this. I live in Australia too, and now that you've reminded me, I do recall seeing this. I loved the veneer as it was too. I'd put a white pearl backing on it, bake, resin, then add ocean inspired charms to the front, either dangling from the jump ring, or even embedded in the resin. I also think the half and half version with a sand coloured clay would look great with ocean charms. The zigzag cut down the center would look like a wave on the shore.

I believe Jessama Tutorials created this technique.

I like how it crackles. I have some gold leaf and may do something like that but with black. Just never thought of this before, I am not into the polymer as much as I used to be so these tutorials really get me going again. Lots of thoughts pinging my brain, just watching you as you work. I understand that you were not as happy with the black ones, but for me I liked them a lot. I am into bold colors, and that is how the world works.

I like JDiction UV Resin the most, I don't know if you've tried it or not, but I find it has a good working time and doesn't pull away from the edges like so many others I have tried. I hope that helps. If not, I'm sorry I wish I had another suggestion. Thank you for sharing, I love these colors, they are my favorites and I don't use them enough! 🙂

Irene! Another beautiful success! The veneer turned out fantastic. I love the idea of using the border cutters inside of the shaped cutter! Fantastic!

[@carleenburnette3710]

I love it ! Thank you for sharing

[@sharonmillan6427]

Really pretty! Thanks

[@sharoncochran8508]

I absolutely LOVE the veneer! I'm going to try it with Premo white. I really like the cutters that I ordered. Thank you for the little extra cutters and for this tutorial.🌟

[@barbaragee8221]

I love the cutter you made ! You can use it for mountains too.

[@mandyhall1674]

That veneer was beautiful and I love the last cutter - the wavy one. Thanks for a great tutorial, was fun. Have a beautiful day 🌺🐾

[@carolynmozzone412]

Jdiction has a high viscosity resin that works well for me!

[@missmarthafawker]

I think for the smaller one, you need to turn the cutter around because you made it inverted. T least that’s my theory. Also I don’t mind going on the adventure with you. Love your face!!!!! Also love these cutters !!!!

Very nice, thank you
