Скачать или смотреть Clay Tip: Embedded Post and Shiny Finish

Here’s a winner for me: making earrings that leave the oven pretty much finished.

Granted, I got so excited to film the final result that I showed it here right after removing them from the oven, so only later I cleaned the backs with acetone. But you get what I mean.

By embedding the metal post while the clay is still in the silicone mold I save an extra step after baking and have a strong hold of the metal back.

And by using embossing powder I get a shiny finish without having to add resin afterwards.

You can get this cute silicone mold and the embossing powders at the Clay Repository shop.
