Superb video, superb commentary and demonstration of the whole process. You have a beautiful, lovely calming voice and make marvellous jewellery. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to post, I wish you well in life and in art.
I love seeing the finished pieces you inserted in after the dips. Really helpful for seeing where you’re going with your thought process. Thank you for taking the time to do that. I know how much work it is to produce a video like this. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Alison. I have watched a few of your paint pouring jewellery videos and finally decided to give it a go a few weeks ago, armed with my golf tees, rubbing alcohol etc…..I’m now hooked! My friends and family love the jewellery and I’ve also hosted a crafternoon with friends to make their own too. I wanted to thank you for taking the time to put together such comprehensive videos. A donation is winging its way to you - please keep making the videos, they are much appreciated :)
Oh my goodness!😳 Thank you SO much Jo! I just saw in my emails that I had received money through PayPal and, at first, I thought it was a scam email, then I read the narration and realised that I must have received my very first donation for my art channel!💓 That is so very kind of you🥰. I am so pleased that I gave you the inspiration to do the jewellery and have shared it with your friends😄. It makes me so happy that you are enjoying it so much. I have a very big smile on my face now😃 Thanks again, Alison💕💕💕.
Hi Alison@@artwithalison Just a quick question re silver spots appearing on a few of my jewellery pieces. I have read that others have this problem. I am going to try epoxy 2 part Gorilla glue instead of E6000, and maybe not using any silicone, but do you have any other suggestions? It seems rather random as only affecting a few of the pieces, and can take a couple of weeks to appear! Thanks in advance, Jo xx
@@JoPridham I've never had this problem with the dipping method. It would most likely be from some sort of oil contaminant, such as silicone, as that would cause a barrier between the paint and the glass cabochon. I have never used silicone or similar for doing the jewellery as I figured that it would cause this problem. I don't believe that the glue would cause this as the glue is behind the paint. I've only ever used the E6000 and, as I say, I've never had this problem appear on any of my jewellery pieces. Make sure, also, that you have cleaned the flat side of the cabochon with rubbing alcohol and then polished with a dry cloth or tissue and then check that that it looks clean and shiny before using. Our fingers and thumbs have produce oil and, after touching the glass pieces, we could leave oil on them which needs to be removed before it touches the paint for the same reason - the paint will not adhere to the glass where there is any oil. I've just thought of another possible cause and that would be if the paint is of too low a viscosity (too thin in consistency), as this would mean that not enough paint sticks to the cabochon and could reveal the metal tray it is glued to.
Thank you for the detailed video. I make these already but found it really relaxing to watch you create yours! I always appreciate watching another artist. Happy creating and thanks again!
Love these, I have ordered some golf tees and I have the house to myself this coming weekend so I will be doing lots of these. Thanks for sharing from a very wet and dreary UK
Hello Dee, Sounds like you will be having a lot of fun on the weekend. I'm glad that my video has helped. Enjoy💕. From a very dry (drought!) southwest Western Australia. I could sure do with some of your rain to fill my almost empty rainwater tank - my only source of water here!
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
Hi Alyson it’s great to put a face to the voice! A quick question if you don’t mind sharing, where do you order your cabochons and settings from? I absolutely love your creations ❤
Hi Susan, I've now put up links to the settings etc in this video. You will find them in the description field. I hope this helps you to find the ones you are wanting. I joined Amazon Affiliates, so that I can do this. I will receive a small commission should you use the links. Best wishes, Alison
Those clear application maybe an 1” long where do buy them? What are called. You are the genius of jeweler. I will tell all of my subscribers to come to you. You are one of my best mentors. boB
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
Love your art work. Have noticed another Aussie lady did the same dip technique. US seemed to have majority using old acrylic pour skins that dried. Will attempt this method, seems to have more control of design.
Thank you Sylvia. It's wonderful that you have been inspired to do this. Yes, I like to have more control over the designs. Do you remember who the other Aussie lady is? I haven't actually watched other people doing it this way. I just remember seeing photos of jewellery made this way and the person explained how they did it and I decided to have a go. That was 4 years ago. I've been experimenting and learning as I go. I probably should watch what other artists do. Thanks again and have fun with it, Alison Hood 💕
Thank you Rita 💖. I purchase most of my supplies from Amazon Australia. I am sorry that you find it difficult to hear me. My lapel microphone got chewed up by my dogs and my new phone doesn't work with the lapel mics. Hopefully my next video will have better sound.

Hi Debbie, my video #182 shows how I mix my paint for doing the jewellery. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/DsRC3pciP0g/w-d-xo.html Best wishes, Alison 🥰
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 🥰💕
Hi! Allison I love your video. I have one question for you. Do you use any pouring medium to thin your paint out or do you just use the acrylic paint without using a pouring medium??? The labradors are cute.
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

Hi Andi, Thank you. Yes, I do use a mixing agent, otherwise known as paint medium. You can see how I mix my paints in this video: th-cam.com/video/DsRC3pciP0g/w-d-xo.html I use Australian Floetrol, but any of the mediums would work. It is the consistency, or viscosity, which is important and this video shows how to get the right viscosity for doing the jewellery, so that your colours don't all blend together. Cheers, Alison Hood
Hi Diana, I've now put up links to the settings etc in this video. You will find them in the description field. I hope this helps you to find the any you are still wanting. I joined Amazon Affiliates, so that I can do this. I will receive a small commission should you use the links. Best wishes, Alison
It was amazing you did an awesome job I want to try to do the same thing you did I've been doing acrylic pores and everything but this I think I really care for it a lot may I ask you what you do with the excess paint that you don't use do you store it somehow
Thank you Linda! 🥰 When I finish, I scrape up what is left of the paint and put it in an airtight container and use it again in another pour. Often the colour turns out lovely, if not, I sometimes add black to it to make a very dark colour, or use it as a flow extender.
I love your work. Please tell me. Do you mix your paints with a pouring medium. If so, what? I'm a beginner. I would love to try this. But, I don't know how to prepare the paints. Please and thank you for a response.
Thank you Felicia💕 Yes, I do mix my paints with a pouring medium. I use Floetrol. The US Floetrol, I believe, works just as well for this but, as I am in Australia, I use the Australian Floetrol. I expect that most of the pouring mediums would work just as well. It is the viscosities (consistencies) that are important. Also, don't add silicone or suchlike to your paint as that could cause a barrier between your paint and the glass cabochon, causing the paint to not adhere to the glass in that area. My most recent video is one on how I mix my paints for the jewellery. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/DsRC3pciP0g/w-d-xo.html . I do hope that you try it as it is a lot of fun and they do turn out looking amazing. I'd love to hear how you go. Best wishes, Alison Hood💕
Hi Felicia, I recently put up a video on how I mix my paints for the jewellery and I show how viscous (thick) I like the paint to be. It is on the higher side of viscosity (thicker). I like it to leave a 'mound on a mound' when it comes off your stirring utensil. Here is the link to that video if you would like to watch it: th-cam.com/video/DsRC3pciP0g/w-d-xo.html . Best wishes, Alison x
Thank you Patricia💓. Yes, I use Floetrol to thin down the paints. As I live in Australia, it is Australian Floetrol, although, as I'm not after cells, that is not important. I will be doing a video soon on how I mix my paints, as I realised that I haven't shown that. I mix it as I would for a ring pour or straight pour; fairly high viscosity, (thick). Thank you for watching, Alison💕

Sometimes I continue to use it to make bookmarks, or coasters by dipping in the paint. At the end, I always scrape it up and put it in an airtight container to use in another pour.
Hello Kathy, I think you are referring to how some people put Diamond Glaze over the paint, before the cabochons are glued into the trays. As I have said in an earlier comment: 'I have done that occasionally, yet I haven't had any problems when they are not sealed. I wear one of my rings almost daily, which wasn't sealed, and I wash my hands many times throughout the day and it hasn't damaged it at all. I've never had anyone come back to complain about any of them'. Remember, the E6000 will protect the paint. I've been selling my jewellery for around four years now. To me, the addition of the Diamond glaze is not necessary. However, if you think it is a good idea, then certainly do that when you make your jewellery. Best wishes, Alison
@@artwithalison Ok TY I’m also wondering if you have tried the clear gorilla glue instead of E6000. Might be easier to work with? I see a lot of people use that.
Depending on the weather where you live: if you live in a hot dry climate, 3 or 4 days may be enough. In a cool or humid climate, it would be best to wait at least a week or even two, to make sure that they are fully cured.
Sorry, I only just saw your question. I do not know the answer to that one. Though, you wouldn't want the outer part of the paint to dry more quickly than the paint underneath, as it would form a skin and the skin would shrink above the paint underneath and then crack. Although, the paint on the jewellery is usually not very thick, so it might be ok.
The long rectangular cabochons are 2 inches by 0.4 inches. Here is a link the where I buy them from Amazon Australia: www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07SSRT68B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The smaller cabochons are 10x25mm. www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07H1YG1SZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and I put them in earrings: www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07BCXWMPB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Couldn’t you use a lot less paint on these project’s, so little goes on the cabochon’s. Do you waste the rest of the paint, or does it start to dry and thicken before you’re done?
I always use the paint that is left over. Either I continue on and dip some small canvases, or even do a lot more dipping of jewellery off camera. Any that is then left is scaped up and used in another pour. As my paint is just paint and Floetrol, I find it keeps for months and months in sealed containers. Often the scraped paint makes a lovely colour or else I might add a colour to make it better or else it can be used as a flow extender.
I have occasionally, yet I haven't had any problems when they are not sealed. I wear one of my rings almost daily, which wasn't sealed, and I wash my hands many times throughout the day and it hasn't damaged it at all. I've never had anyone come back to complain about any of them.
Hello again Felicia. As I explain in my latest video on how I mix my paints, I no longer go by ratios, as not all paints are of the same viscosity (consistency), so if one paint colour starts off at a higher viscosity (thicker) than another of the colours I am using in the same pour, I need to add more of the pouring medium to that colour, than to the other colour, to end up with the same viscosity for both paint colours. Here is the link to the video: th-cam.com/video/DsRC3pciP0g/w-d-xo.html Best wishes, Alison
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. 💓

great idea. only one question - for how long time the colore is stable and not run from cabochones?
I've not had any colour run from any of the cabochons. It is acrylic paint which sets once it has cured.
I got my order to make the jewelry looking forward to starting on it tomorrow how long does it take for the paint to dry when you dip it

Have you tried pouring your own resin into mold’s for using as cabachon’s? I’m wondering how much cheaper that would be.
That could work, so long as the flat side is totally flat. I haven't tried that.
Just wondering where you get your cabochons and settings.
From Amazon Australia.

What do you do with your left over paint? 😮
Sometimes I continue to use it to make bookmarks, or coasters by dipping in the paint. At the end, I always scrape it up and put it in an airtight container to use in another pour.
I am brand new to jewelry dipping but have read & watched many videos. Seems like most people put Diamond Glaze over the cabochon once it’s glued in?
Hello Kathy, I think you are referring to how some people put Diamond Glaze over the paint, before the cabochons are glued into the trays. As I have said in an earlier comment: 'I have done that occasionally, yet I haven't had any problems when they are not sealed. I wear one of my rings almost daily, which wasn't sealed, and I wash my hands many times throughout the day and it hasn't damaged it at all. I've never had anyone come back to complain about any of them'.
Remember, the E6000 will protect the paint. I've been selling my jewellery for around four years now. To me, the addition of the Diamond glaze is not necessary. However, if you think it is a good idea, then certainly do that when you make your jewellery. Best wishes, Alison
@@artwithalison Ok TY I’m also wondering if you have tried the clear gorilla glue instead of E6000. Might be easier to work with? I see a lot of people use that.
Thank you but I prefer to use the E6000.
Gorilla glue leaves bubbles on your jewelry in ruins it just thought I’d mention it@@kathyz8203
How does it take for each one to dry, is it 1-2 days please
Depending on the weather where you live: if you live in a hot dry climate, 3 or 4 days may be enough. In a cool or humid climate, it would be best to wait at least a week or even two, to make sure that they are fully cured.
Could you cure faster with a uv resin light?
Sorry, I only just saw your question. I do not know the answer to that one. Though, you wouldn't want the outer part of the paint to dry more quickly than the paint underneath, as it would form a skin and the skin would shrink above the paint underneath and then crack. Although, the paint on the jewellery is usually not very thick, so it might be ok.
Would you mind giving us the measurements on the rectangle pieces? I found some that are small but nothing larger than 2 inches.
The long rectangular cabochons are 2 inches by 0.4 inches. Here is a link the where I buy them from Amazon Australia: www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07SSRT68B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The smaller cabochons are 10x25mm. www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07H1YG1SZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and I put them in earrings: www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B07BCXWMPB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Couldn’t you use a lot less paint on these project’s, so little goes on the cabochon’s. Do you waste the rest of the paint, or does it start to dry and thicken before you’re done?
I always use the paint that is left over. Either I continue on and dip some small canvases, or even do a lot more dipping of jewellery off camera. Any that is then left is scaped up and used in another pour. As my paint is just paint and Floetrol, I find it keeps for months and months in sealed containers. Often the scraped paint makes a lovely colour or else I might add a colour to make it better or else it can be used as a flow extender.
Oh, and no, it doesn't start to dry and thicken before I'm done as it takes many, many hours before that happens.
Due you seal the paint before you place into the trays
I have occasionally, yet I haven't had any problems when they are not sealed. I wear one of my rings almost daily, which wasn't sealed, and I wash my hands many times throughout the day and it hasn't damaged it at all. I've never had anyone come back to complain about any of them.
Please share the paint to Flotrol ratio
Hello again Felicia. As I explain in my latest video on how I mix my paints, I no longer go by ratios, as not all paints are of the same viscosity (consistency), so if one paint colour starts off at a higher viscosity (thicker) than another of the colours I am using in the same pour, I need to add more of the pouring medium to that colour, than to the other colour, to end up with the same viscosity for both paint colours. Here is the link to the video: th-cam.com/video/DsRC3pciP0g/w-d-xo.html
Best wishes, Alison
est-ce que vous pouvez mettre la photo de ce que vous mettez sur le TEE, merci. C'est très beau ce que vous faites
Merci. Ce que j'ai mis sur le tee de golf, c'est du mastic pour affiches. C'est ce avec quoi vous pouvez attacher du papier à votre mur.
@@artwithalison merci beaucoup
Love the video alot but could you speak up just a little please
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. 💓
