Oh yeah, I like this technique much better than the one with paint! It's so much more realistic with the wax melting and leaving that texture! Great idea!🤩
Thank you so much for sharing Beth! 5 years later and your technique is still the easiest and looks more real than all the many other videos I've watched!
You're a genius! Love the technique (so much easier/cheaper than any others I've seen) and love the results (more natural-looking than so many others)! Thanks so much.
I’ve watched quite a few faux turquoise videos and I never wanted to try it but I think your method has the best results and no mess I will definitely attempt making it now! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing, Have you tried this with a full colour image? I've seen that some methods don't work with full colour images due to colours being dye-based.
Thats gorgeous Im trying the wax in my processn now to see how it turns out. Cant wait to cook them an see how they turn out be my first ones I have ever done.
Thank you for this video. I love turquoise and have been looking for a way to make faux turquoise with clay. Most videos make it complicated and much more expensive. This is great. But I wonder if it would be easier to get your shavings using a crayon sharpener or an old makeup sharpener. I also want to experiment with either gold flakes or a little bit if gold foil. Again thank you.
You could certainly do it with a sharpener, but you are only going to get finer pieces. I do it the other way because I get some random chunks in the mix.
I believe it's called Varathane varnish. I have also sprayed them with spray resin and got a neat result where the blue is shiny and the black is matte.
Thank u. I tried this before with normal paper and it came out v faded. It's was only black and white too. Thank you, I'll try it again with photoshop. X
I like this! I'm making a doll house and I would like small print's of my Husband, Children, and Grandchildren in it. Now you sand it after baking it two times? I'm sorry but this will be my first time. Thank You Jan Hunt
That does look more realistic, although turquoise comes in a wide variety of shades and colors. I think that part should be preferential anyway. And there is always howlite, which looks very similar. This was a good tutorial!
Dear Joanna, hi, I saw the tip you gave to Beth and I was wondering how the heat technique works for liquid polymer clay? Because I thought it only worked on getting rid of the bubbles in resin. If you could let me know that would be great. Thank you, love from Amanda Jones in Australia ❤
