Well, my first career was teaching elementary school. After retiring, I got interested in decorative finishes and started a company that grew to the point of opening a store where I sold products, continued to do contract work, and taught classes in faux finishing techniques. That ended in 2009 after the housing market crash. At that point my husband wanted us to become more self-reliant and start a garden. I laughed because my idea of gardening was to buy plants for the porch before we had company and then tossing them after the couple of weeks it took them to croak! 😂 But his challenge made me really get serious about learning and that ended up leading to the unique way In which we Garden now. A few friends on gardening groups encouraged, rather pestered, me to start a youtube channel. Again, something I knew nothing about. Huge learning curve on filming, and especially on editing. I’m still learning! Anyway, we don’t Garden all year, so I began doing videos of whatever we had going on at the time! Last year, I started really missing the art side of my interests and stumbled upon IOD. I began videos of my creations and became an IOD Stockist for my area. I guess that’s kinda it. 🤷‍♀️Thank you for the interest and for watching my videos!❤️

@@designsbyJ no thank you for making them.

You’re so sweet, Lonna! Thank you so much and same to you! 🤗❤️

@@connienissen6816, thank you! The link is in the description box below the video.

@@connienissen6816, i can’t tell you for sure what is in it; I purchase it from hobby Lobby. Best I can describe is it’s like a glue with iridescent mica flakes in it.

Thank you! Well, either/ or; I sell my crafts, too, on my Etsy shop. One of these 3 has sold. The link is in the description box below the video. I have to say, though, I’m a lot more efficient at making creations then I am at getting them uploaded to the shop. 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

@@designsbyJ thank you! I'll head over to your shop. You are more the " Artist" type, as am I soo . So glad I found you yesterday by chance!!!

Thank you very much! Most of the music I use comes from a subscription I have to epidemic sound. I also use audioblocks.

I have several where I’ve used it, but no tutorial. What I’ve discovered is you need to scrape your spatula across and remove as much of the excess paste as possible so that any scrolly holes will remain and not be filled with paste. The next thing is to let it dry completely which takes several hours or even overnight. Before you remove, use a baby wipe and rub over the mold to remove any thin bits of paste that shouldn’t be there. Hope that helps! 🤗

The castings that were still flexible were not made with air dry clay, but Stamperia mixed media paste.

@@connienissen6816, I believe that is the size of a box of five. If you look in the pictures, it shows three sizes. I believe the ones I purchased a couple of years ago was the middle size of 3.14”.

Thank you, Melissa!
