This is Becky Nunn of Nunn Design. I'm the guest designer for Beadaholique.com
This is the fourth part of a four-part series
This video is on Applying Color to
Cured Crystal Clay. We made the mold
for this bee. We've learned how to place it into the pendant
we learn how to mix colorants and create a sampler
and now we're gonna apply it onto our pendants
so our resin is pre mixed
and I created a color that I desired
and now I can go about either pouring it on
or just using a toothpick to apply it
onto the crystal clay. So if I wanted it just to be on the body of
the bee I can go about doing it that way
or if I wanted to go ahead
and put it over all of the surface
I'd use my toothpick to move it around
and press it into the different
crevices
if I get some on the side I can go back with my wet wipe
and wash that off
and so it'll probably be darker on the recessed areas than it is
on the bee itself but my bee will still be
colorized too because resin will seep over
and move off
and that is how you would apply the resin
onto the pendant. As the piece started to
cure up a little bit and as your resin started to get a little thicker
you could go back and apply a couple more dots onto the body
and make this a little stronger if you wanted to but I kinda like how that look
is
just looks like a
glaze that's been fired and you might wanna go around the edges a little bit
more carefully with your toothpick
sometimes if you're piece
is farther recessed down its easier to get that along on those
edges. This piece is pretty high with inside the mold
and had a very small lip. This is Becky Nunn for Beadaholique.com
and this is the finish of this series on how you can colorize
and apply color to cured crystal clay.
