Friendly Plastic and Jewel Enamel Video
Hi Everyone.
I have just uploaded a new video for you. I am showing you a technique that combines Jewel Enamels with Friendly Plastic to create a gorgeous encrusted surface, that is shown off to its best effect by using a cabochon mould. The end result is a necklace and earring set, so if you fancy finding out how to do this, and learn about putting your moulded shapes back to back, then watch this tutorial.
Hello Liz, very nice! Thank you. I think that my msitake was a very thick layer on the plastic – and it becomes very opaque and dullens the plastic. Yours looks so much better! Thanks so much!

Love it, Liz! I can’t wait to try it. I’m waiting for my order of Stampendous Frantage Encrusted Jewel kits to arrive – hope it gives me a similar look.

Hi Liz, do you sell the moulds too? I’ve searched in your shop but couldn’t find them… I’m really missing some good moulds and don’t know where I could buy them ;).

Hello Lucinde,
Sorry, I don’t sell moulds, but they are all over the web. Craftynotions.com sell the lovely Karantha moulds that Sarah Lawrence designed. The mould I used for the cabochon pendant was from Penni Jo at the Flexible Moulds in the USA. Check around the polymer clay sites as they often have them. The other brilliant source of moulds is the Krafty Lady (Australia) whose, moulds are available here in the UK and come in a mind blowing range of designs. Also try out the Sugarcraft stores and websites. Alternatively, you can make your own really quickly using Easymold, which is on the Rare Bird site.

Thanks, as ever, Liz for your lovely ideas & especially for the video – really helpful when I’m just too fay away to get to your workshops. Wish I could get to the one you are doing sometime in the future for Jewellery Maker!
I only caught the end of your show with Jewel Enamels (repeat i think) this morning – wish they would give us a schedule so that we can watch/record the things we want.
