I am soooo impressed and in love with your work! So much so, I just ordered the Jewels mold that I never would have spent so much on. That is a testament to your shared talent! Can't wait to get it and get started!!
Hi Lori! Nope and nope =) No need to let either dry before doing each step. It actually helps having the clay pliable that way you can easily attach to rounded surfaces.
My experience to share...FYI: I made 100 ornaments last year...I removed the clay from the moulds and applied the wet clay on already painted ornaments (the painted surface makes for better adhesion) in a base color...when clay is dried on the ornament, painting is done over entire ornament...when paint is dry, use a clear wax...apply antique wax onto entire ornament and wipe off with wipe leaving the darker wax in the crevices in and around the clay...if you think the antique wax is too dark, you can use clear wax over it as it "removes" the intensity...when dry, use a rub-n-buff (in gold, silver, rose gold, white or champagne, etc) to highlight the high points of the ornament...they will be absolutely gorgeous...have fun!
Amazingly done, madre.
Simply gorgeous! I made these last year and got so many compliments!! So fun to create!!

Hi! I cannot find "Jewels Mould" Does it come under a different name? who makes it?

Thank you!
You’re very welcome.
do you let the clay dry before applying to the ornament. DO you let the clay dry before painting?
