Hi Laurie, Thank you for alerting me to the fact that I hadn't put the link to the bangles in the description field. I have done that now. So, please go to the description below the video and you will find the link which I have listed as Bangles. This should take you to the same or similar item in your country. Please let me know if it doesn't work. Thank you, Alison x

Between the glass cabochon and the golf tee is poster putty.

Hi Linda, Thank you very much. I don't use silicone in my paints for jewellery - ever! If the oil got between the glass and the paint, it would mean that the paint would not stick to the glass in that area. If using dried paint (skins), you would need to treat it in such a way to avoid that happening with the skins, such as rubbing alcohol. Though I don't do skins, so I am no expert on that. As far as charging, I would suggest going to your local markets and seeing what they are selling their similar quality jewellery for. People from different locations are likely willing to spend differently on luxury items, such as jewellery. I live in the south west of Western Australia and I sell my jewellery mainly through a little shop in a town where the main road passes through, so there are a lot of tourists passing by and so that helps with my sales. I started off selling my earrings at $20AU and also my pendants at $20AU. That was about four years ago. I now sell them for $27AU. I also sell earrings and pendants as sets. You would have seen in the video how I put them in little display boxes (which I buy from Amazon - I will put the link in the description area). I am currently selling the sets for around $45. The sets sell very well as people like to give them as gifts. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching and good luck with your creations, Alison

Thank you Laurie 🥰

Thank you! When I started, I priced earrings at $20AU a pair and $20 for a pendant as well as $35 for a set. That was four years ago. I now sell them for $27 for a pair of earrings and $27 for a pendant and $45 for a set. This is in Australian dollars. I mainly sell them from a local art and craft shop and they sell quite well.

Thank you so much! I appreciate your comment and encouragement 🥰💕

Thanks for watching. Best wishes, Alison Hood 💕

Thank you. No, they don't drip over as long as they are kept fairly level. 🥰

Oh, how exciting Linda! The drying time depends, somewhat, on the weather conditions where you are. They will dry faster in a warm, dry climate than in a wet or humid climate. In our summer here in Western Australia, I find that it only needs a few days to dry thoroughly. Though, I usually like to wait a week or so, to be sure. Have fun! I'd love to hear how you go. Best wishes, Alison 🥰💕

Thanks so much 😊 That is very kind of you to say and I really appreciate it. 🥰💕

Yes, I agree. I prefer the smaller rings. Thanks.

Thank you Tracie! Yeah! I was very happy with that pour and the many places to dip the cabochons in for some pretty jewellery. The longer video shows a lot more (of course🫠). Thanks heaps for watching it. 💕

@@artwithalison You're so welcome!

Thanks heaps Tracie! I really appreciate your comment 💕

I use acrylic paint. If you watch the video, at 2.23 I tell you what I used. I used Eraldo acrylic paint. This is an Australian brand but it is simply a soft body acrylic paint. I also used Liquitex Basics I mix it with Floetrol. If you would like to see how I mix my paints, I have a video where I show you what I do. It is video #182 ua-cam.com/video/DsRC3pciP0g/v-deo.html .

Thank you Linda! 🥰 When I finish, I scrape up what is left of the paint and put it in an airtight container and use it again in another pour. Often the colour turns out lovely, if not, I sometimes add black to it to make a very dark colour, or use it as a flow extender.

​@@artwithalisonanswering back with me I enjoy doing this ever since I started watching you also a set of earrings and necklace

Thanks so much! I have a UA-cam channel and a Facebook Page called Jarrahgum Labradors, if you are interested. I've got two litters at the moment and so there's sure to be a lot of puppy photo spam 🤣🐶😍🐕🤣

Thank you! I really appreciate you telling me 🥰

Hi Debbie, my video #182 shows how I mix my paint for doing the jewellery. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/DsRC3pciP0g/v-deo.html Best wishes, Alison 🥰

Thank you for watching and for your very supportive comments. Your question is not dumb at all! The pieces which the paint is put on and fit into the settings is actually glass. They are called cabochons and are made to fit into the settings. If you look in the description area, below the video, there is a list of all the products used, including the cabochons and settings with links to where you can buy them from. If you use any of these links to get into Amazon and then buy something, I will receive a small commission, yet it won't cost you any extra. Thank you for your question. Best wishes, Alison 💕

@@artwithalison Aah, silly me, I should have looked earlier, sorry, I see your link now. :-) You are an amazing teacher by the way. Thank you again.

Awww, you are ever so kind. Thank you! Made my day! 💕💓💕

My pleasure!! Thank you for watching and for your kind comment 🥰

Hi Carilangley, I use paint and Floetrol only. I don't add water, though, if you are going to use all the paint mixture, you could use a small amount of water to thin the paint and Floetrol if you want to. I like to make a larger amount and store it and I've found that when I've added water, it doesn't keep as well. My video #182 shows how I mix my paints. I don't go by ratios as much as by viscosity (consistency) as different brands of paint have different viscosities to begin with. Here is a link to the mixing video: ua-cam.com/video/DsRC3pciP0g/v-deo.html Best wishes, Alison Hood

The glue seals the paint. So I don't need to put anything. If I am concerned, or if I am making stud earrings, I will varnish the undersides.

Thank you so much! 💓

So nice of you to say. Thank you 💕

I'm sorry that you can't hear me very well. Check that the volume on your device is on full. If you have ear buds or earphones, using them can help. Also, you can click on the closed caption button (CC) and that will bring up the subtitles, which may help as well.

Hello Lynn, thank you. Yes, I find this a lot easier. If you look at the dropdown description area, just below the video, there are links to all the products used in the video, including where you can get the owls from.

Yes. If you find it hard to understand my Australian accent, there are subtitles which you can find by clicking on the CC (Closed Captions).

Sometimes I varnish them to seal them and other times I don't as I think that the glue will seal them.

Hello tjscrafts, the earrings settings you can find if you go to the description area below the video. They arrive ready made and you just need to glue the painted cabochon into the setting, then it is finished. I have listed most of the products used in this demonstration there. The earrings you mention, you will find under the title, 'earrings assorted shapes'. The rings in this video I haven't been able to find the link to where you can find them. However, if you use one of the other links and then type in the search area, 'jewellery rings 25mm cabochons' you will find an assortment of others which you might like. Best wishes, Alison

Thank you.

Thank you. Yes, I find this way a lot easier. Enjoy.

Wonderful!

Thank you so much! It's wonderful to hear that I have inspired you to do this. Have fun! 🥰

Usually around $40 Australian Dollars

Thank you so much! Cheers! 💕

Thank you Tracie. I really appreciate you watching and your kind comment 🥰

@@artwithalison You're so welcome!

Thanks again, very much Sherry 🥰💓🥰

The left over paint I sometimes use to dip coasters or bookmarks (videos coming up) and I always scrape up the remaining left over paint to use in another pour. I don't make skins.

Thank you so much Sherry 💓

That is lovely to hear. Thank you! 🥰💕

I'm glad you like it! Thank you for your kind comment 🥰

That is so lovely to hear. Thanks heaps Sherri 💖🥰💖

Thank you so much!! 💓🥰💓

Thank you ever so much! 😊 💓

Sometimes I continue to use it to make bookmarks, or coasters by dipping in the paint. At the end, I always scrape it up and put it in an airtight container to use in another pour.

Thank you Carylfontaine. That is so kind of you to say and I appreciate it very much 🥰

Thanks Mollz. Your kind comment is much appreciated 🥰

Thank you so much! 🥰

Thank you for your kind comment. If you go to the description area, I have listed the links to the different settings and also the glass cabochons to go into the settings. The settings often come with the matching cabochons, if not, they let you know what size cabochon you will need. If you use my links, then I will receive a small commission, yet it does not alter the price for you. Thank you and I hope that you have a lot of fun doing them. I find it very rewarding. Best wishes, Alison Hood 💕

Hello, did the links work for you? I would appreciate you letting me know, as I am new to this. Thanks, Alison
