Well it's close but not quite there. Next time add a bit more of the oil paint and see what happens.

Sorry I don't know your name but I just wanted to say thanks. I think your brilliant, you make me laugh all the time and you made me want to do craft again. Thanks for sharing all your projects, good and bad. Plus its nice to know there's someone out there who's just as messy as me. Keep on doing what you do, your a star 🌟 ❤

Very cool!!! I love the silver you made by adding a teeny bit of black to the pearl, I had never thought of doing that and it looked like a really soft, light silver. Now I am curious to see what you do with the slab pieces, the colors are beautiful!!! I liked the little bead you made, too, metallics make such pretty, sparkly beads. I’ll have to try this, I actually love making new colors although they don’t always turn out the way I think they will. If it turns into a flat-out ugly color there’s always Black Out 🤣 Thank you for sharing, this was fun to watch 💜🩶💙💚🖤🩵💜

I loved your video! Abalone and mother of pearl are my favorite jewelry pieces! You knocked this out of the park, Miss Irene! I’m new to clay as I’ve only worked it for months and have much to learn, so thanks for the variety & pushing boundaries. I’ve been wondering if I could use oil paint with polymers, so now feel safe going forward! Ty again 😊

Beautiful! Would you please take more time to show each slice? I've barely focused my aging eyes then you're swapping out the next one and I need more time to admire your work! TY

Wow what a wonderful result so colourful and shiny. I was just wondering does it have to be oil paint ? can you not use acrylic ? Can't wait to see what becomes of this one

[@TheCreativeDork5]

I think I tried it with the acrylic a few years ago and it didn't work.

[@SelenesCreationsByTheSea]

@@TheCreativeDork5 Ah thats fair enough
