I love how you think of all different ways to make this without just making canes - you have given me the inspiration to experiment and explore - thank you
Very beautiful result! I am so thrilled to see your method of inkjet transfer! I have been looking for a way that doesn't involve laser prints or rubbing all the paper off, so I think you are a genius! Your work is inspiring, so please, keep the videos coming! ☺❤ Rachel D
Thank you very much! I was so thrilled to read your wonderful words! I love polymer clay and I love sharing my ideas and it's such a great reward for me to know that my tutorials are appreciated. I'm really very happy! Have a wonderful and creative day!
I might try it. But not with triple thick. I still think that the best bet for this is resin. Triple thick doesn't work for me. For one, in hot and humid climates, even after a year it's still tacky and sticky. It scratches easily. It's inconsistent, one time I get nice clear covering the next I get cloudiness. And it even caused my pieces to crack while drying. Did you try Judikins Diamond glaze?
Kalyana Design Tutorials I personally find Varathane Clear Gloss Water-Based Interior Polyurethane to be the best. Never sticky and doesn't scratch. It's preferred by most. You put on in many light coats, 4 or more. Beautiful finish :)
Yes, I like it the best too as a varnish/glaze. But it's too much trouble to build layers of Varathane when you can just use resin and get it from the get go.
I used them both and they worked just fine for me. This is a project done with Diamond glaze and the result was excellent. ua-cam.com/video/ZwILKhtVM3M/v-deo.html I prefer this kind of glaze because it's easier to use and the curing time is shorter. Resin could be tricky sometimes as well. It could not cure properly. Personally I'm very satisfied with the results I had and I still recommend Triple Thick. Have a wonderful day!
What I'm trying to say is that Triple Thick doesn't work for the US states with a hot and humid summer climate. If you've never been here you don't know how that is. I bet you would be flabbergasted to see what happens with certain medias in this climate. Even the Judikins, you need to actually protect it with something like Varathane, otherwise even that can become tacky. I find that the resin, if properly mixed and poured works just fine. I use the casting one for thinner glazes that don't need to be very domed, and it works just fine. Did you try the UV one?
It's true that media are influenced by the climate and so the choice in the media used is a very personal choice. I personally use Triple Thick, but I think you can have similar effects using other glazes. Even though I like Diamond glaze as well, the reviews for Diamond glaze are not great www.resinobsession.com/resin-frequently-asked-questions/judikins-diamond-glaze-versus-epoxy-resin-whats-the-difference. Resin is still a great option to have wonderful glass-like effects ;)
I use photos that are free for commercial use and I found a lot of amazing photos on Pixabay. This is the initial photo that I used in the project, except that I reduced its size and copied it several times to make a kaleidoscope. pixabay.com/en/colorful-abstract-background-1084082/ Have an amazing day!
Hi Nancy. Thank you for your message! Normally I would use liquid clay for image transfer (including for inkjet printed images, but I would prefer working with a laser printed image. if possible). I was surprised that I used Mod Podge for this tutorial. I am a big fan of decoupage (I decorated lots of items around the house with napkins and decoupage), but for clay I would use liquid clay. Have a wonderful day!

You should never put mod podge on polymer clay
