Haha, yes. Thanks, though it wasn't my idea.

Thanks so much for your wonderful comment! I'm glad you like the technique. It really is incredible how you can get so many designs from the same space as the dipping creates another lovely design. Yes, I often dip small canvases or coaster into the paint once I've finished doing the jewellery dips. Thank you for watching. 💕 It's been taking me ages to edit, but I'll be putting up another jewellery video soon.

@ Awesome!

Hello Ruth, If you look in the description field under the video, I have put links to where you can buy them. Thank you for watching, Alison 💕

I have a video which shows how I mix my paints for the jewellery dipping. It is my video #182. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/DsRC3pciP0g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ldacvks6vn6Rs_AN

Oh, and though I am using Australian Floetrol, any pouring medium would work. Just don't add any silicone or oils, as that would prevent the paint from adhering to the glass. Have fun! I'm glad that I have given you some inspiration 💓

Thanks so much, Sarah! 💖

Thank you so much, Robert. Yes, I started out painting on canvases. I have many videos with tutorials on some of the many techniques of pouring on canvases. I hope that you enjoy them. Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, Alison Hood

Thank you, Mary. I use poster putty. In Australia, it is often called Blu Tac. I list all the products used in this video in the description field under the video. Thank you for watching.

Thank you, Robert. If you look at the description area, in the drop down box under the video, you will find a list of all the settings and links to where you can buy them. Thank you, Alison

To find the description field on your phone, look beneath the video and click where it says 'more' and then again, you'll probably have to click on another 'more' to see the full description field. Let me know if you have any trouble.

@ thank you kindly! Have a great holiday season. Be safe.

Thank you Robert. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and yours. Alison 🥰

Thank you Barbara, very much! If you look in the description field which is below the video, I have links to where you can purchase the settings. To find the description field on your phone, look beneath the video and click where it says 'more' and then again, you'll probably have to click on another 'more' to see the full description field.

Thank you. I do make paintings this way, if that's what you mean. You can see my other videos of me doing that.

I did Art shows with metal work and fiber for 22 years but since a bad back surgery that won't work any more.

Hi Barbara, Yeah, you don't need much space to do these. It's very rewarding. I sell mine at a local art and craft shop. Markets are also a good place.

@@barbarascott1233 I'm so sorry to hear that. How awful for you. 😢

Thanks so much! 🥰

Thank you Wiona 🥰. Yes, I do add pouring medium. I have a video on how I mix my paints for the jewellery as well as for my straight pours and ring pours. It is my video #182. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/DsRC3pciP0g/w-d-xo.html Thank you for watching. Best wishes, Alison

I wish you could too! ✈️💞 What a lovely thing to say! I wish you lots of fun creating jewellery this way. May you also have a wonderful and blessed Christmas 🎄🎁🥰💕

@SandyGingera Thanks so much, Sandy 🥰

I sell the earrings for $18 US and the pendants are also $18US. For a set, I sell them for $30US

Hi Suzanne, My video #182 shows how I mix my paints. th-cam.com/video/DsRC3pciP0g/w-d-xo.html I use Floetrol but any medium should work as well. It is the consistency which is important. Make sure that it is reasonable viscous (thick) and that all the paint colours have the same consistency unless they are metallics, in which case they can be a bit more viscous (thicker).

@artwithalison ❤️ oh thank you so very kindly!

Just one of my dinner plates.

💖🥰💖Awwww, thank you Karen! What a wonderful thing to say! I really appreciate it💕

That is so kind of you to say. Yes, a lot of editing! I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. Thank you 💖

Thank you so much, Rachel💖. As they are glued into the settings, the paint can't peel off.

Thank you. It is poster putty. Here in n Australia, it's commonly known as Blu Tac. It is usually used to stick posters to the wall, or other pieces of paper. It becomes less sticky over time and needs to be stretched and pulled again to soften it and make it pliable and more sticky again. You can certainly see if it is still ok to use again from the last time. It probably depends on how long it's been.

Thank you! 🥰

Hello, if you go to the description field, under the video, you will see a list of links to the products used in the video.

Awwwww, thank you so much! That is so lovely to hear. 💓

Thank you ever so much, Ziggy! If you look in the description area, which is under the video, I have a link to the keyrings there. I am sure that you will enjoy doing the jewellery once you start. I find it very satisfying. Best wishes, Alison 💕

Thanks very much for your help. Always surprised at how many cabochon s you can get out of one small pour. Notice your only use Floetrol for your pouring medium. Do you use any micas in your pours? Some people use Josonja and maybe jel to dissolve the micas before adding the pouring medium. I have a few micas which might give me the chance to put a bit of a zing in some of my pouring pallet. Any suggestions would be mont welcome. Regards Ziggy

Hi Ziggy, I believe that any pouring medium would be fine. It's just that is what I use as I'm in Australia. I have bought a set of micas, and some Josonja gloss varnish to mix them with but haven't tried it yet. Yes, I really must try them out! Thanks for the push! I love using the DecoArt Extreme Sheen paints to add some extra shine and cells. In fact, any metallics in the jewellery pours really add that extra zing, I find. xx

Hi Alison. You are someone who inspires people who would like to master a new skill without having the heartbreak of continually going through the heartbreak of problems and eventually giving up. The range of materials and findings that are now available and easily accessible due to the world wide Web has made the hobby so much more interesting. Living in the land of OZ, We still have some Australian manufacturers and distributors and anything else we need is a few keystrokes of the keyboard away. I keep looking back at your vids to refresh my mind and look forward to your future posts. Thanks for your help, Keep up the good work. Regards Ziggy.

Thanks Ziggy. 😊💕

Hi Heather, Thanks so much for your feedback. Which country are you in? (So that I know that the links are working there) Thank you for your kind comments. Very much appreciated. 💕

@artwithalison watching from United States ❤️

Great, thanks so much for letting me know. 💕

Thanks. Do you mean the earrings, as they are a two piece set?

Hello Amy, If you go to 29.15 minutes on the video, you will see what I use and how I do the gluing. Also, if you go to the description field in the video, you will find a link to where you can buy this glue through Amazon. Best wishes, Alison Hood

You are very kind, boB. I'm not sure what you mean by those 2 piece sets. As I just mentioned in the comment you left on the jewellery video, you can see a list of the products used in the description field under the video. I hope that will help. Otherwise, please give me a more detailed description of what you mean. Best wishes, Alison

Hello boB, That is very kind of you to say that. In the description field below the video, I have links to the products in the video. I think what you are referring to is the long rectangular pendant. They come with the cabochons, the glass part. If you click on the link, or copy and paste into your browser, you should be able to find them. Best wishes, Alison Hood

Awwwww, that is so wonderful to hear! Thank you so very much Alicia. You have made my day! 💖🥰💖

Thank you Grammy! 💓

I am sorry about that. I've been spending a lot of time typing up what I say. If you press the CC button you can read what I'm saying. I think that this was recorded when my lapel mic stopped working, so it's just what my phone picked up.

@@artwithalison No problem. It's a very helpful tutorial!

Thank you.

Thank you. I'm sorry that you can't hear me. It does sound a bit muffled. I put subtitles on it which should help. However, I did just check and the subtitles do seem to be out of sink in some places. I shall try and fix that. Thanks for watching. 💓

Thank you, Sandy, for watching. 💕

Hi Sandy, there are links to all the bezels etc in the description field which is just under the video. Thank you for your kind comments.

Hi Becky, I use varnish to seal the back of my stud earrings which are exposed. I use Liquitex Gloss varnish. Just paint in on with a small paint brush. Thank you for your lovely comments. It is very much appreciated 🥰

Go for it! It's fun to do. Best wishes, Alison

Yeah, so much easier!

Hi Laurie, Thank you for alerting me to the fact that I hadn't put the link to the bangles in the description field. I have done that now. So, please go to the description below the video and you will find the link which I have listed as Bangles. This should take you to the same or similar item in your country. Please let me know if it doesn't work. Thank you, Alison x

Between the glass cabochon and the golf tee is poster putty.

Hi Linda, Thank you very much. I don't use silicone in my paints for jewellery - ever! If the oil got between the glass and the paint, it would mean that the paint would not stick to the glass in that area. If using dried paint (skins), you would need to treat it in such a way to avoid that happening with the skins, such as rubbing alcohol. Though I don't do skins, so I am no expert on that. As far as charging, I would suggest going to your local markets and seeing what they are selling their similar quality jewellery for. People from different locations are likely willing to spend differently on luxury items, such as jewellery. I live in the south west of Western Australia and I sell my jewellery mainly through a little shop in a town where the main road passes through, so there are a lot of tourists passing by and so that helps with my sales. I started off selling my earrings at $20AU and also my pendants at $20AU. That was about four years ago. I now sell them for $27AU. I also sell earrings and pendants as sets. You would have seen in the video how I put them in little display boxes (which I buy from Amazon - I will put the link in the description area). I am currently selling the sets for around $45. The sets sell very well as people like to give them as gifts. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching and good luck with your creations, Alison

Thank you Laurie 🥰

Thank you! When I started, I priced earrings at $20AU a pair and $20 for a pendant as well as $35 for a set. That was four years ago. I now sell them for $27 for a pair of earrings and $27 for a pendant and $45 for a set. This is in Australian dollars. I mainly sell them from a local art and craft shop and they sell quite well.

Thank you so much! I appreciate your comment and encouragement 🥰💕

Thanks for watching. Best wishes, Alison Hood 💕

Thank you. No, they don't drip over as long as they are kept fairly level. 🥰

Oh, how exciting Linda! The drying time depends, somewhat, on the weather conditions where you are. They will dry faster in a warm, dry climate than in a wet or humid climate. In our summer here in Western Australia, I find that it only needs a few days to dry thoroughly. Though, I usually like to wait a week or so, to be sure. Have fun! I'd love to hear how you go. Best wishes, Alison 🥰💕

Thanks so much 😊 That is very kind of you to say and I really appreciate it. 🥰💕
