These are pretty, I have seen other tutorials. Question for your website.... Do you ship internationally? I could not find any info on whether you do that or not. Regardless of whether you ship internationally or not I like that your tutorials are very clear, you think of all the things people might ask.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled you’re enjoying the Blue Lace Agate tutorial and find my instructions helpful-it means a lot to me. 💙 At the moment, we don’t ship internationally, but I’m actively looking into it and hope to offer it in the future. I’d love for you to stay updated! If you’d like, you can sign up for my email list on my website-that way, you’ll be the first to know when international shipping goes live. 😊 Thank you again for your support-it truly inspires me to keep creating! 💕
Brava,molto originale
Grazie mille! Non parlo italiano, ma vorrei rispondere in italiano. Questo messaggio è stato tradotto. Sono felice che ti piacciano! 🖤💚
Oh my goodness!!! This is beautiful and you are amazing! A very well instructed tutorial. Thank you a million. I do have a question in regard to the template you created. I printed it but am not very clear on the correct dimensions of the template. The template I printed on paper is 4 3/4 inch across and 2 inches in height. Is that correct? I would really love to emulate the way you have shown us. Please advise and thank you again!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed the tutorial. 😊 The dimensions of the template I used are 6" across and 3" in height. I do have an Atlas 180, which has a slightly wider opening than the Atlas 150, so if you’re using a 150, you might need to adjust the width of the template to fit your machine. I hope this helps, and I can’t wait to see how your project turns out! Feel free to tag me if you share it on social media. 🐚✨
@ Thank you! I will send you a photo, for sure!
Good evening, I am sad to say that I went on the Rockrose website to buy the cutters that you used but saw that you do not ship to Canada. Please let me know if there is another way to order the starlight cutters. Thank you, Renuka
It is so cool!...
Thank you so much! That makes me so happy to hear!🐚✨ I had so much fun putting this tutorial together. If you try the technique, I’d love to hear how it turns out for you!

This is so an outrageously awesome creation!!! Thank you for sharing this wonderful talent with us!!

Well, it is 7am on the east coast and I just spent $100 on cutters….. and somehow I don’t care 😜🤣. Merry Christmas to me! I love watching your work (you’re calm and explain in detail without being confusing - and obviously not AI, which I _really_ appreciate!). Soooo looking forward to more videos! (And unique cutters! Wish you sold the template from the beginning.
Thank you so much for your support and kind words! 😊 I’m thrilled you're excited about the cutters, and Merry Christmas to you! 🎄 It means a lot to hear that my tutorials feel clear and calming-your feedback really brightened my day. I did include an image of the Skinner Blend template I used in the tutorial on the blog post, so feel free to check it out there if you would like! I hope you love creating with your new cutters and thank you very much for your order! Stay tuned for more unique designs and tutorials! 💖 Happy creating!
These are absolutely gorgeous and right up my alley! What is the name / where did you get the Deburring tool? I have a manual one that doesn't do a great job and takes awhile but I have spinal cord injuries in my neck that affect my wrists and hands so using it for more than one or two kills them. TY for sharing this tutorial with us!
Thank you so much! I’m thrilled to hear these earrings are your style. 😊 The deburring tool I used in the tutorial is a Beadalon Bead Reamer with a Beadalon Wire Rounder Burr attachment. I purchased mine on Amazon. The bead reamer is battery operated so it is a bit easier on the hands to deburr wire. I can imagine how tough it must be on your wrists and hands, especially with spinal injuries. This one might make a difference, as it requires less pressure to use. I hope it helps, and thank you for watching-wishing you all the best with your crafting! 💖
@RockroseClay TYSM for the burr info, just placed my order, i have several earwires on earrings i bought that are sharp plus a few I've made myself from wire so I'm eager to try these.
You're so welcome! 😊 I’m thrilled the info was helpful! Fixing up those earwires will definitely make a difference-I’m sure they’ll be so much more comfortable to wear. Happy creating, and enjoy your new tools! ✨
@RockroseClay thank you again!
WOW! Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much! 😊 I'm so happy you enjoyed the tutorial. This one was a joy to make, and I love how the colors turned out! Hope you give it a try!
Love this! The best faux abalone technique I’ve seen in my 5 years working with polymer clay!

Not sure who this is but hearing you mention Judy brought a smile to my face .
Thank you so much! Judy was such a fun inspiration for this project, and I’m so glad to know that it brought a smile to your face. 😊 Hope you enjoyed the tutorial!
Love it!!!! Can you tell me if the ink will fade over time? Or does it keep its color? I have used it with resin before, and it faded after a while.
Thank you so much! 😊 I’m thrilled you enjoyed it! Alcohol inks can fade over time, especially when exposed to sunlight, even with a layer of translucent clay over them. Since they’re dye-based, they’re not fully lightfast. Covering them with translucent clay does help, but it won’t completely block UV rays. To keep those colors vibrant, I recommend storing your pieces away from direct sunlight or strong artificial lighting if possible. I’ve heard that adding a layer of UV-resistant varnish on top of the resin can offer additional protection, though I haven’t tested it myself. Hope this helps, and happy creating! 🌟
Gorgeous!!!!
Thank you so much! 💛
Great tutorial. Love the earring and how you explain the process was excellent!
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you enjoyed the tutorial and found the explanation helpful 😊 I hope you give the piece a try-I'd love to hear how it turns out! If you have any questions along the way, I’m here to help. Happy making!
