Beautiful, Very natural looking. ......I like to spray a little puddle of water on the working glass and dip the cutter in it before the cut out. It gives good release from the cutter. dry and on to the next step. Thanks for the great video.
I've just came across your UA-cam videos by mistake but wow! It's fate great videos I've watched them all. Look forward to more of your videos Kathryn. I do all crafts too and enjoy polymer clay jewellery making. I'm in Scotland but know Cumbria and the lake District quite well I have relatives down there that sound pretty similar to yourself so I feel quite at home listening to you.
Wow wow wow !!!! Well done girl! Great lesson! I've been looking at onyx for a long time and I was thinking how to make it from polymer and with this tutorial it helped me a lot! Thanks for sharing!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I'm really enjoying your tutorials, Kathryn. Thanks for all you do, you are appreciated! I have had the SquarePairs in my cart for 3 weeks. I keep looking at them and debating whether the shipping cost to Australia is worth it...US$22 + US$28 shipping, that equates to AU$70. I decided this morning that they aren't worth that much to me. Was asking my darling & resourceful husband if he could think of an alternative that has a crisp corner. He came back from his workshop with a piece of L-shaped aluminium, that he'll glue a piece of timber into, to make handling easier for me. It remains to be seen how it behaves with the clay. Fingers crossed. Again, thanks xx
Ohh Kim great idea, I know lots of folk use different household items as shaping tools, yiuve probably not seen the video but a friend in the states sent me the square pairs as a gift, I couldn't warrant the cost either .... although a shop sells them in UK now xx
@@KathrynHalstead yep, I watched your video, which is why I had to comment on the cost of shipping. It takes the cost of the product through the roof, doesn't it?! Did I really want to be spending AU$70 on the Pairs (??), that's a definite no. Thanks so much for your beautiful tutorials. You are so fricking talented and I'm learning heaps xx P.S. I love your accent 😀
Thanks Kym, yeah in the uk i'd have been slapped with additional import costs too, so can work out very expensive for a bit of plastic ha ha ..... glad you're enjoying them and my dodgy northern accent ha ha ha xx
Kathryn, you have quickly become one of my favorite youtubers!!! You pieces are beautiful and your videos so easy to follow. Thanks for the videos. Please keep them coming
You probably dont give a damn but does anybody know of a method to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly lost the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Casey Zayne thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Stones are a favorite of mine. I have so many on my Pinterest page - there’s a man who finds beautiful specimens and he cuts them so expertly. I’ve heard you say you have this friend and that who have made you cutters, that’s awesome. Your treatment of the clay and knowledge of what it will do is mind boggling - plus, you aren’t at all afraid of experimenting. I haven’t watched these in any correct order although I have hit the notification bell to tell me when you will post again. I bet these looks just wonderful in person. I haven’t been able to use my computer for a bit so I am only seeing your work on my seemingly tiny iPhone 11. I love the layers and try to stop the video when you show certain aspects of the translucency you have achieved. I just love how brilliant you are and I love your calm spirit - you are such an encouragement, thank you so much!
Love these and they look amazing finished. I really struggle covering mine in resin but am going to give your way a go. Instead of one thick coat just two thin coats, fingers crossed. Once again a fab tutorial, thank you Xx
This is not nearly as hard as you think and they come out beautiful. It would be hard to mess this up. It looked a little scary to me but it’s easy and rewarding.
I can’t wait to try this!!!! This looks like so much fun! I wonder if you used plastic over the clay before cutting if that would have kept the clay from sticking to the cutter? BTW - using half the cutter to make the earrings...... brilliant ❤️
My thought exactly. Brilliant use of the cutters to make the earrings. Going to try to follow this video and will watch the 2nd part afterwards. Amazing how a little bit of this and that clay turned out such beautiful pieces. Going to use premo, so sure it will look different. Love this tutorial.
Hola !!! Me Alegro de ver otro tutoríal tuyo 😃 he de decir que me a gustado mucho el resultado pero no he entendido muy bien que es lo que has hecho . El anterior trabajo que hiciste me resultó mucho más fácil de seguir y de hecho hice las tres joyas que presentaste en los tutoriales y me quedaron muy bonitos . Con el de esta semana voy a tener que ver el vídeo varías veces para fijarme bien e intentar hacerlo . Muchas gracias por tus trabajos y espero que te encuentres bien , cuídate mucho y te espero en el próximo titorial🥰
Hola mi amiga gracias, mi internet es muy malo en este momento, así que me resulta difícil conectarme en línea jaja. por favor haga cualquier pregunta, haré todo lo posible para ayudar. es bastante fácil, solo construyes capas de color, translúcidas con un poco de blanco y translúcidas. cuidate x
Hi Yvonne, its a chinese one, Qiao Qiao UV Resin hard, amazon and AliExpress stock it, I have a resin video in my playlist I show the bottle on there x
Hi Kathryn, thanks so much for sharing. I enjoy watching your videos. Where did you get the gadget to hold your triangle piece while applying the resin finish? That seems to be really helpful to avoid fingerprints.
Is there a kit or a list of colors and supplies you recommend for novices like me to get our feet wet without breaking the bank or becoming discouraged?
no Kelly I don't I'm afraid ..... you cant go wrong with getting the Primary Colours (Red, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow) plus black n white though .... bit of colour mixing and you've every colour you need ...... Samantha at Jessama Tutorial's has some great videos for beginners though if you go check her out x
Can I ask you Kathryn, how do you get the resin to not pit and leave brush marks? I have tried your way, is it because you dip your brush in acetone first or not? What resin do you use... Is it a thinner resin? I have just bought a heap of silicone moulds and would love to finish them with a brush right around not just the side People will see... Sorry I'm just frustrated and your pieces are so beautifully finished. Thanks in advance. 🙏💞
First practice on some scrap, but yes damp brush, wipe down whatever your applying on, warm resin is always better so use a lighter if it’s a little thick, and let it settle before setting x
What a beautiful tutorial but not an easy one. Very realistic, natural result! I will definitely watch it again to get the philosophy of the procedure. I would like to ask you, when the clay is very soft, as Cernit is, can we let it rest for a while in the refrigerator? :) One more question, at 1:00 you use a grey holder for the stone, is that made of clay too? Thank you for your time for sharing your talent with us!
Hi realistically I should have leached it on some copy paper as it was very very fresh. And yes I just made little holders to help when applying resin as I brush it on. I have a video on resin in my let’s chat about playlist xx thanks for your kind words x
Kathryn Halstead ..... Hi, I thank you. This has been very helpful and very sweet of you to reply. I accidentally met your channel (though for me nothing happens by accident) and I liked your clear detailed explanation of the process. I will continue watching your tutorials! ♥
When it won't come out of the cutter, COVER the cutter back opening 90% and put your mouth on and BLOW hard to pop it out...or put in the freezer for 5 minutes..DO NOT freeze the clay, just stiffen it up to let you remove the cutter.
@@KathrynHalstead It looked like chewing gum or fondant! Leaching is hit or miss, these tricks work as needed. I really liked this video, I'll have to try it, thank you...
i see that you have a fairly new channel on youtube too i also just started a channel i do all sorts of crafts but most;y work with clay and wire making jewelry but i like your channel and plan on watching more and look forward to more new videos from you your work is really good keep up the good work if get chance check out my channel i just started and have been battling some medical issues right lately but i am starting to get back on track and plan on getting more videos out there as much as possible
Hey Carol, funnily i've had a channel for donkeys years and used to do alsorts of demos, but recently like yourself i'd been hit hard with ill health and have just got back into youtube, my other vids are hidden as i didnt want to mix arts n crafts with my jewelry ones, xx good luck with yours xx
A lot of work!... absolutely worth it!... beautiful...thank you!
Very pretty thank you for sharing. 👍🌹🌹
Gotta love polymer clay in warm weather. We are having heat indexes over 100 right now and I have hot hands anyway. Still beautiful.
This looks like fun thank you 😊 ☺
Beautiful, Very natural looking. ......I like to spray a little puddle of water on the working glass and dip the cutter in it before the cut out. It gives good release from the cutter. dry and on to the next step. Thanks for the great video.
thanks Barbara but unfortunately using water with Fimo or Cernit isn't a good idea.... it turns into a gloopy mess x
Lovely! Thank you😍🤗
I love all of your work! you have great style, minimalistic and clean. thanks fort sharing
Beautiful thank you so much and God bless you!!
What a wonderful pieces you made. I started loving all your videos.
Really beautiful 💗👏🏻💗👏🏻💗👏🏻
I’m having so much fun watching your videos. This one is so amazing. I love the look of the ‘stones’.
Learning so much…thank you
SO BEAUTIFUL!
Great video. You make it look much easier than I suspect it is but I can’t wait to try this now. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am new to polymer clay and this was very easy to follow. I used a light blue and it is beautiful!
Amazing 😉
Great tip on plaguing!
Beautiful!!!❤

Cool...
What a very cool tutorial! I really love how it looks like a real stone! Very, very nice. I’m going to have to try this one out. Thanks!
I just love your designs,
Karen, don’t they sound real as well?
This is an excellent tutorial, thanks!
Oh my goodness, I saw this on FB. So glad you did a video!!
Love these and they look amazing finished. I really struggle covering mine in resin but am going to give your way a go. Instead of one thick coat just two thin coats, fingers crossed. Once again a fab tutorial, thank you Xx
Hi Wendy, I have a video on how I resin. Maybe have a nosy. I find it so much easier with a brush xxx
@@KathrynHalstead thank you will have a look now Xx

Pam seriously I’ve never had such “fresh” clay I’m leaching the rest of the packet 🤣

Thank you so much for sharing! Both informative and Extremely Relaxing.... Cheers :-)
Can you show the black thing you are using to hold the piece while putting UV on?
There’s a reddish stripe in the stones. Is it from the gold clay??

Just got a new subscriber LOVE the video
I know you made this tutorial a long time ago now but this is the reason I don’t use cernit, it drove me crazy! 🤣
Hi,what resin are you using, and what's the little gadget you've got for holding your products to finish 🤔
Brilliant, thank you Kathryn, could you tell me what resin you use, is it one for nails ?
Hi Yvonne, its a chinese one, Qiao Qiao UV Resin hard, amazon and AliExpress stock it, I have a resin video in my playlist I show the bottle on there x
Where did you buy the mold blue?
Hi it’s a ludmila B one available on Etsy
Hi Kathryn, thanks so much for sharing. I enjoy watching your videos. Where did you get the gadget to hold your triangle piece while applying the resin finish? That seems to be really helpful to avoid fingerprints.
I made it from Polymer clay scraps there's a how to in my 'lets talk about Resin' video xx
Kathryn Halstead ok great! I will check it out. Thank you!

Kathryn Halstead .. Unfortunately, for some reason, it doesn't let me watch some of your videos. It says "there was a problem while playing" :(
When it won't come out of the cutter, COVER the cutter back opening 90% and put your mouth on and BLOW hard to pop it out...or put in the freezer for 5 minutes..DO NOT freeze the clay, just stiffen it up to let you remove the cutter.
Thanks Jan, gosh it was so sticky, I should have leached it a little first 😂
@@KathrynHalstead It looked like chewing gum or fondant! Leaching is hit or miss, these tricks work as needed. I really liked this video, I'll have to try it, thank you...
That is very beautiful.But why are you putting over pieces by pieces that I don't understand?
I'm not quite sure what you mean " putting over pieces by pieces" ? if you'd like to expand maybe i can help you xx thanks for watching
@@KathrynHalstead Thank you very for the response! I mean layers upon layers(pieces).
@@My_Vlogs_Onjo Ahhh right.... well the layers create the banding for the stone effect .....does that make sense?
@@KathrynHalstead Wow! That's great, love your creations! I subscribed your channel, I have to see all your videos, hope to enjoy them ❤️👍👋
@@My_Vlogs_Onjo thank you x
freeeze it and corn starch or baby powder your cutter
Thanks Donna, boy it was fresh 😂
