Hello dear polymer clay enthusiast,
After years of trying out techniques to nail the Faux Dichroic look, I can say I’ve just finished a clay pendant that is as close to Faux Dichroic perfection as possible.
And I also wanted to show you how putting together nail art glitters, a stencil and black clay is such a magical combination. Now, I didn't stop there: I stenciled gold metal leaf and then I cut the piece in two. And there's more. But I don't want to spoil the surprise.
And after baking the clay, I finished the design by applying a generous amount of UV resin.
I just love how this clay pendant turned out. Don’t you like it too?
Here are the tools and materials that I used:
Black polymer clay
3 stencils
Nail art glitters: purple, indigo, blue
Imitation gold metal leaf
A triangle cutter
Polymer clay tools: blade, smoothing tools
A floral texture plate
Oven, baking paper
Pasta machine
UV resin and a lamp
Heat gun

I encourage you to take this inspiration and use it in your work with clay.
Happy claying!
Mihaela
