Question by mrmagoo: How to quickly dry or “cure” acrylic paint and gloss?

I’m making small hand painted pin jewelry for a craft project, and I want to find a way to quickly dry the thin layers of paint (I have to always wait for the scratch coat to dry!) and also thin layers of acrylic gloss that I’m layering on them.

Has anyone tried using a small fan? Or maybe putting them in a toaster oven on low heat? Maybe a hair dryer? Microwave?

Just wondering if someone has stumbled upon a good technique…the drying process is what’s making the production so slow…thanks…

What’s the best alternative for small crafts? Oils instead? or tempura?

Best answer:

Answer by vpytko
I keep a hairdryer close buy and use it to set modeling paste, thick bodied acrylics and watery acrylics. With oils be careful…you could easily set a fire or create an explosion. Tempura might make for a tasty piece of jewelry but tempera might make it very impermanent.

~Handcrafted Decoupaged Boxes~

Image by ~Sage~

I started with boxes sold in "Papier Mache" area of craft store. They are made of brown paper. Boxes were painted with teal blue acrylic craft paint. Flowers for decoration were hand-collected earlier, placed on paper towels and pressed between the pages of a telephone book. When totally dry, flowers and plant materials were glued on with a brush and diluted Elmers. Additionally, touches of accent paints in the center of some flowers, dry brush flicks of gold, and finally, glazing with acrylic medium completed the project.

Have fun making these for your jewelry or treasures!

Studio By Sculpey (Polymer Clay): Jewelry Bead Test 00

Image by Karen A. Scofield (sari0009 on yahoo)

Hi, I’m Karen A. Scofield, this is my work, it is copyrighted — my photos may not be used in any form without my written permission.

Pictured:

2" and 1 7/8" Long Studio by Sculpey Beads From Left to Right: Half and half Desert Sand and Cappuccino (makes a great tan flesh color but not a good faux wood); 3 parts Cappuccino and one part Desert Sand (ah, more like faux wood); Desert Sand (a yellowish ecru like color); 3 parts Cappuccino and one part Desert Sand.

Blogged [April 4, 2009]

Studio by Sculpey Notes:

1. Upon proper conditioning in a 72 degree F room with cool hands, Studio by Sculpey feels like Ultra Light (UL) Sculpey when working with it — marshmallowy. May easily distort and elongate while removing from molds. Even a practiced hand at dust and fiber particle removal leaves marks, marks that most would not have the dexterity and patience to fix without causing further distortion. One false move and you can loose your work. That soft.
2. Cured, it’s stronger than Premo and Classic Fimo according to compression, tension, and bending tests (UL is strong too, which is why it’s used for armatures among other things).
3. Color did not change after baking per manufacturer’s instructions.
4. At 3/16 to 1/4" thicknesses, it’s slightly bendable after curing and cooling, something that may ruin faux wood and stone illusions but wouldn’t be a problem in most Studio by Sculpey home decor projects in which the clay is treated as an overlay on other items.
5. Has more mass than UL but does not float after curing as UL does.
6. Blends somewhat like other polymer clays.
7. Takes permanent dyes like Adirondack dyes very well (not shown)!
8. Cured and cooled surface can be permanently dented/pitted/dinged if heavy objects are placed on top. I placed a bead under one of my heavy desk chair’s wheels, sat in the chair, and the bead’s surface was permanently pitted from sand from the beach (I live by Lake Michigan) and the rough cement basement floor. Bead didn’t break though!
9. Takes acrylic paint very well, just like other polymer clays.
10. Rubber stamps that work well on other polymer clays work well on Studio by Sculpey Clay. Captures fine details well.

I think most people could work with Studio by Sculpey using their tools (they have lovely texture sheets) and Studio by Sculpey home decor projects…probably why there even are certified Studio instructors…Studio by Sculpey performs wonderfully if you’re a good little monkey and work with given projects and tools.

I can’t forsee that most bead and doll artists will choose Studio by Sculpey for their beads and dolls though.

Great for home decor, probably never going to be used by too many bead or doll artists, mmm, but there will be some that do.

Question by bristeph18: Jewelry making materials?

I’m opening my own online store. I’m making and selling cute hair extensions, homemade make up, and fashion jewelry.

I have never made fashion jewelry before, but I have a lot of designs and I’m a fast learner. I’m using high quality beads and decor from swarovski crystals, but as for the material I have no idea what to use or how to form it. By material meaning metal, acrylic, resin, etc.

What is the best kind?
How do I mold it into the shape I need for necklace pendands?
Which is more of a high quality material that isn’t overly expensive?

Thanks

Best answer:

Answer by Webwise
I don’t have a whole of advice, but if your bead supplier is big, then they might be able to give you instructions/courses on this. Companies like John Bead (Canada) are always giving courses, training sessions, newsletters, etc. They may be able to help you out over the internet if you are not close to Toronto to attend their sessions in person. Good luck.

DIY Trunk Show Nov 2009 – Handmade Rotating Necklace Rack

Image by Urban Woodswalker

You would never know this is a thick recycled cardboard tube (from a fabric bolt)covered in industrial acrylic felt that rotates fully, and has deep hooks every 1.25 inch. Its absolutely splendid for this particular type of merchandise. I spray painted the whole thing black…even the felt with Krylon ‘fusion" paint.

Note the 5 pound tin can risers displaying my aluminum can and nylon rope baskets on the left. I drink a lot of coffee so I always have these cans on hand…which are also great for shipping delicate art objects out to buyers, or far off galleries/shows. Also they are wonderful for storage of bottle caps, mosaic pieces, and other heavy objects.

I am very unhappy with the ugly half circle price tags. This is the 4th kind of tags I have tried. Each kind has been problematic in different ways. The first were tiny sticker labels…which left a permenant mark on the backs of the hands. Then I tried stickers taped on the chains…yuck! Then I tried those expensive tiny jewelry tags with the long purple threads. They tangled miserably.

Above is the latest (4th) attempt. I took round Avery office stickers and folded in half….they work ok but look sloppy IMO. Any ideas would be most appreciated. The necklaces are not all the same prices, thus a sign would not work. Any ideas?

Question by (:: Artificial nail for Homecoming, acrylic vs. gel vs. store bought?

Okay! So Homecoming is this Saturday and my nail polish chips way too easily so I’d love to have my nails done, but I don’t know what to choose.
Acrylic or Gel?
My dress is black and I’m wearing really cool silver jewelry because our theme is futuristic. I’m planning on bringing in black light nail polish when i get them done so my nails glow at Homecoming ! The polish is a blueish purple, really cool.

I can’t really get the store bought ones because my nail beds are way too small for those. They never fit. :/

What do you think I should get? Acrylic or Gel? Which one is better? Which one is cheaper?

Best answer:

Answer by MM1484
just paint your nails or get them done. its you are seriously getting acrylic/gel/store bought nails for homecoming thats kinda wierd. if you get them done they are going to ruin your nails. its just better if you go to your local salon and get a manicure

Question by Disatrous Designs: What can I use to seal in ink on shrink plastic?

I’m using my ink jet printer to print designs on my shrink plastic so I can make into jewelry. I’ve used spray acrylic sealer, but it still seems to smear with water. What is the best thing to use to seal the ink in?
the shrink plastic is specifically for ink jet printing.

Best answer:

Answer by art addict
It depends, if you just used regular shrink plastic and not the kind for printers then nothing will keep it from smearing. Been there done that, if you did use the printer shrink then you may want to try to lightly rough it up with sandpaper first to gie it some “tooth”

Question by Augustine. Figurine.: Jewelry material reaction question?

Alright. Long story short, my ears should be around a 0ga by this summer when I will be going on vacation for two months. I’m not too keen on the idea of wearing my typical steel CBRs the entire summer. Problem is, is that I don’t know how things like acrylic, silicone, etc. will react in salt water and chlorinated water. Is there any material I should avoid wearing while swimming in these areas?

And just for the record, I was planning on getting some glass bulletholes, those are non-reactionary, right?
