Deby at Mixed Media Arts you explain and offer tips. And you speak at a good pace. Others ramble about their kids, talk slowly, etc. NO REASON whatsoever to criticize a TH-camr - if people don't like it, they don't have to watch. I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel. I plan to unsubscribe to other channels, even though I'm in USA
So Beautiful! Thank you for this video. I like to make a hole in cardstock paper, the size of the cabochon and move that around the skin to find good areas. This way the rest of the skin doesn't distract where I am looking.
great ideas.... i recently discovered alcohol ink painting...and i love it ! and have scraps i can make these pendantswith....hope you get some small fussy cut scissors...those ones you are using in this look like kitchen meat cutting scissors ! made me nervous...lol
Absolutely. It would be great to make a set but you would be challenged to make a pendant and matching earrings, all looking the same. Similar maybe, yes, but that could be nice in itself.
Now I see how amazing the pendants are, I wish I had saved a lot more of them. I might even find myself making extra paint so I can deliberately have left overs to dry into sheets. Such fun!
Deby at Mixed Media Crafts I have a silicone mat that I turn my flip cups onto to drain for skins, or I mix up my leftover paint and do a little pour on the mar as well.
I hope you will share. I would love to see a bracelet. I think getting pieces that match would be a challenge, but maybe a long deliberately poured skin piece could do it.
Great video! You explain things and illustrate everything so well.👍 You mention Yupo paper, that you used for one of the pendants in the video. What was the technique used on that paper and why that paper compared to paint skins? Thanks so much.😊
Deny they are beautiful! This is exactly what I wanted to try but didn't know how to put them together or what to purchase. Thank you for your great video and the information. Going to shop on Amazon for my products now
Thanks Kim. Have you made any yet? You should! I was surprised how lovely they came out, my skins weren't that colorful but the pendants look great under the glass.
Deby at Mixed Media Crafts Hi! I haven't made any yet....I have the cabs and trays but was unsure what glue to use. Now I know and I do have Diamond Glaze in my stash! Woot! That rarely happens....lol. Thanks for sharing! ❤️
Another Well done, video. Thank you, will pass on also. ---Dave... Deby the nail polish remover if I remember right has oils to lubricate the skin from the harshness of the acetone. I think just straight acetone, with no oils to seep into your paper etc. What think you 🤔
That's a good point. Hopefully the tiny bit on a q-tip around the edge wouldn't seep in, but its a good reminder not to over do it and have it potentially seep between the glass and the surround.
You are so right. I really needed smaller scissors but those were all I had. I checked out the local sewing shop and they wanted $30 for a small pair of embroidery scissors - robbery! I will have to get someone to smuggle some in from overseas...
That depends on a couple of things such as how much glue you use (and what type if different to mine) and your local conditions such as heat and humidity. You should definitely wait until the glue is fully dry before cutting to make sure the paint doesn't come away.
@@DebyatMixedMediaArts Ok, are there any signs to look for to note if the glue is dry? As I have previously used a different glue but am definitely purchasing diamond Glaze as my other one has given me a lot of trouble as well as not having any signs (clearer, skin feels harder, etc) to show it has cured. Thank you for your help.
@@evamooney2953 I really can't remember now, it's been a couple of years since I made this video. I think I left mine 24hours but I can't remember now if there was any visual difference in the appearance. Sorry, I wish I could help more, but since my stroke I have memory issues and struggle to remember things.
@@DebyatMixedMediaArts No, you've been a massive help and I'm so so sorry to here that you had a stroke as I thought that your videos were awesome. And I can understand the memory thing as when I was younger I had some medical difficulties and struggle to remember things from a while back. I hope you can are well now as I am. Thanks again for your help.
I've not noticed any difference either way. They are pretty thin I suppose, thinner than a painting might be. Usually by the time I get around to using them it's been a week or more anyway, at the earliest.
I've not tried it so I couldn't say for sure. I know there are many varieties of Mod Podge so one of them might be suitable. I suggest trying it with a single pendant first to check the results before doing a batch.
I've never tried with resin but I don't see why it wouldn't work. You might make a resin skin, glue that in and then add a bubble or dome of clear resin over the top instead of the glass perhaps.
If I make skins on plastic and then transfer them to yupo later its really quite hard to get them off. I made that mistake originally thinking the skins wouldn't stick.
You didn’t mention that horrible silvering that appears under the glass sometimes. I have tried all different ways of placing my glass….. on the skin or on the cut out, with a small amount of glue or a large amount. I sometimes get lucky but it is very discouraging. Ant advice. I enjoyed your video and your upbeat demeanor.
Hi Deby, love the Blue Peter reference, I'm an ex pat also living in Canada and grew up watching BP after school 😃 Question for you, I have made pendants this exact same way using the same glue but I have found as time goes on the pendants have had some colour bleeding !? I made a beautiful one with white and blue and now the white is blue 😏🙁 any suggestions or have you had any problems with this ? Thank you in advance and love the videos !!!
My pendants are all too new, only made in the last 6 weeks, but I've not noticed any problems with them so far. Did you use the same glue, the Diamond Glaze, or a different one?
Deby at Mixed Media Crafts yes I used the same glue. There doesn’t seem to be any pattern to it, I made some for Christmas as gifts and they have not bled, just the more recent ones I have done have bled and they had been made just a few weeks, so maybe I’m using to much glue ??
great vid! i haven't had too good of luck w/making skins. i cant seem to get them thick enough, but im going to try just turning the cups over after i've poured...that sounds pretty simple, 😁😁!! thanks!! 😁😁😁 💖💖
Yes I found that too with my every day dribbles. I really had to think about it if I wanted to save the skins, and made sure the run off was in one place so it was thicker. Or as you say, turn up your cup so it pools into one place.
Look up Sandra Lett...or DeliberatelyCreative videos for an easier way to do your necklaces......They show easy way to do it. You may be able use a stamp cutter or punch to do this....It would be so much easier. Love your videos. •
Thanks for the tip. Yes it may be easier - if you have one. I can't get that sort of thing on the island so I have to get by with what I have. I usually try to get by with minimal equipment in my videos because not everyone has all the bells and whistles, or the budget for everything.
Finally a video on this subject that is informative with out being overly chatty. Nice job!,
I like your explanations - you are clear and you don't ramble like some others.
Hahaha, thank you. That must be a rare time when I didn't waffle on. I often get comments to tell me to shut up and just get on with it.

That is a great idea! Really stops the big picture distraction and helps you isolate the perfect spot. Thanks for sharing your tip.
I did this except I put magnets on the back for the refrigerator. Thanks for sharing !
I bet those brighten your day. Nice idea.
Very nicely done from start to finish. Love to hear some updates from you. You are missed in the communities.
If you have an electronic cutter it will be even easier to cut the skins. Very pretty!
Sadly I don't, but that would be a good idea for making nice neat cuts
or an xacto knife.
Nice, the middle one on the end reminds me of the painting “starry night” from Van Gogh.
great ideas.... i recently discovered alcohol ink painting...and i love it ! and have scraps i can make these pendantswith....hope you get some small fussy cut scissors...those ones you are using in this look like kitchen meat cutting scissors ! made me nervous...lol
These are great I just love how unique the y are, one of a kind.
Absolutely. It would be great to make a set but you would be challenged to make a pendant and matching earrings, all looking the same. Similar maybe, yes, but that could be nice in itself.
Are the clear domes solid or hollowed? I can't tell..I've seen both kinds. Very pretty. Thank you.
I was literally just gluing cabs to the tons of skins I've been saving for the first time last night ❤️
Now I see how amazing the pendants are, I wish I had saved a lot more of them. I might even find myself making extra paint so I can deliberately have left overs to dry into sheets. Such fun!
Deby at Mixed Media Crafts I have a silicone mat that I turn my flip cups onto to drain for skins, or I mix up my leftover paint and do a little pour on the mar as well.
Thank you for your video. But do you have one as how you clean the acrylic skin before used.
Those are awesome!!!!
😂😮 Molly Brown and me Kaye-Lee LOVE IT!!!??
Wonderful tutorial! Thanks so much. 💐
Really beautiful Deby, Thanks for the video I'll try to make a bracelet for myself.
I hope you will share. I would love to see a bracelet. I think getting pieces that match would be a challenge, but maybe a long deliberately poured skin piece could do it.
I always get some round drops from my painting on the wax paper or plastic that i put under them , I will try using them. Sure will share ❣🙂
Awesome video. Beautiful pendants!
Thank you Kim. I was very much inspired by the ones I saw you do all that time ago.
Great video! You explain things and illustrate everything so well.👍 You mention Yupo paper, that you used for one of the pendants in the video. What was the technique used on that paper and why that paper compared to paint skins? Thanks so much.😊
What type of silicone do you use and before making necklaces do you need to clean it off 🤔..Beautiful work ❤

I am so happy to hear that you found it useful. Good luck!
Thes are really nice Deby Thanks
Thank you Tony. I was wondering if I could make something similar with tiny resin drips. Will have to try one day.
You definitely could Deby, but these would be a hard act to follow.
Great project.
Thanks Kim. Have you made any yet? You should! I was surprised how lovely they came out, my skins weren't that colorful but the pendants look great under the glass.

Deby at Mixed Media Crafts,,--- Your right. Acetone is a very strong solvent for plastics. It also takes very little to have a large effect. 🤔
So glad I stumbled upon your channel!! Awesome projects - such great ideas for inspiration!! I subscribed right away!!
Thanks Dawn. Great to have you following along.
Get yourself a pair of embroidery scissors or cuticle scissors. It will make it ten times easier to cut around the cabs. These are pretty.
i was thinking that same thing!!!! 😁😁
You are so right. I really needed smaller scissors but those were all I had. I checked out the local sewing shop and they wanted $30 for a small pair of embroidery scissors - robbery! I will have to get someone to smuggle some in from overseas...
Deby at Mixed Media Crafts got a walmart, or michaels, or other big box store w/sewing dept.?? 🤗🤗 💖💖
Sadly no Gayla, nothing like that here. It's just a tiny island full of shops for tourists. I have to bring all of my supplies in by boat from the US.
Deby at Mixed Media Crafts. not good. thought walmart was EVERYWHERE!!!! 😂😂. well, maybe cuticle scissors might work. good luck!! 🙄🙄 💖💖
This is really helpful thank you so much 💐
Is there any alternative for yupo paper would parchment work ?
Can I add dried flower ?
I was wondering same thing but with wax paper instead of plastic
Thank you! This is great.
And thank YOU so much for taking the time to watch and leave a comment.
How long do you usually wait between glueing the cabachon and cutting it out.
That depends on a couple of things such as how much glue you use (and what type if different to mine) and your local conditions such as heat and humidity. You should definitely wait until the glue is fully dry before cutting to make sure the paint doesn't come away.

Do you find the skins work better if you let them set for a week or two to cure, or can you use them as soon as they are dry?
I've not noticed any difference either way. They are pretty thin I suppose, thinner than a painting might be. Usually by the time I get around to using them it's been a week or more anyway, at the earliest.
Can you use mod pog in place of the glue
I've not tried it so I couldn't say for sure. I know there are many varieties of Mod Podge so one of them might be suitable. I suggest trying it with a single pendant first to check the results before doing a batch.
Question was size are those is that 2.55mm or 3mm thanks
These were 25mm, 1 inch trays. You can see all the supplies I used here - kit.co/mixedmedia/pendants-with-acrylic-paint-skins
How do you make your skins
I have a video here on how to make and store the skins to use for pendants - th-cam.com/video/M1iUwvGmHhs/w-d-xo.html
Did you spray the Yupo with a varnish? Thank you!!!
No, I just used it straight as it was with the painted design. The paper is already really glossy.
Just subbed! These are so beautiful I really want to make some of these would resin pour skins work the same you think!?
I've never tried with resin but I don't see why it wouldn't work. You might make a resin skin, glue that in and then add a bubble or dome of clear resin over the top instead of the glass perhaps.
laughed at the Blue Peter reference! Just out of curiosity, can you peel skins from the Yupo paper?
If I make skins on plastic and then transfer them to yupo later its really quite hard to get them off. I made that mistake originally thinking the skins wouldn't stick.
Beautiful thx

Deby at Mixed Media Arts Link doesn’t work?
@@catelaine8706 can you check the link again Cate, it seems to be working OK for me so perhaps there was a glitch
Deby at Mixed Media Arts yep it works now
Could you resin dome these?
Absolutely you could. If you can get them bubble free, they would look glorious.
@@DebyatMixedMediaArts will have a go!
