@@LisaPavelka Oh what a wonderful privilege an honor that would be! If I'm ever out that way, I'll definitely send a message your way =) You don't know it, but you're the reason I even started working with jewelry. I am a multi-media artist, using everything from glass to paper. But when I came across your videos, it was all over from there! Lol. I've been picking up pieces here, there and everywhere and working on making my own little jewelry paradise 💍 All thanks to your inspiration, imagination, leadership and creativity! Thanks for that. ❤ Amanda
@@amandaforeman7441 It's my absolute pleasure. I'll be your "pusher!" Creativity is my drug of choice and it sounds like it's your's too! Where can I see your work? You sound like a powerhouse talent in your own right with so much experience in so many mediums. Your comments are truly a gift to me and I appreciate your kind words. I'm so lucky to do what I love and have Fire Mountain Gems & Beads as a platform to share that love! They really get it...and me!
@@LisaPavelka You are so welcome! Yes it is definitely a drug for me..seeing new beads and buying them is irresistible!! Unfortunately all of my larger artwork was destroyed along with most of our home in a tornado a few years ago (live in Oklahoma). I lost all of my precious pieces, some that i even had from my early teen years. But there was a ray of light. My high school art teacher had passed away just months before the tornado. Even though I hadn't talked to her in nearly 20 years, I could always here her while working on any piece (still do). So what I now say is that the artwork I lost was needed by her upstairs with the Lord. A sacrifice I was happy to make. I then took a hiatus from art to do several other things, including becoming a firefighter! I have only just begun to add some of my jewelry pieces online. Some are older ones I've done. You can find a small selection of it on my pinterest page called: modernartchitect. I am now starting to work with fabrics and metals and have some fantastic jewelry projects and ideas combining the two!

Lisa--Thanks SO much for the tutorial! I saw your pop art sutton slice pendant at FIMO Claysino in Las Vegas (wasn't that the BEST conference EVER!!!!!) and was dying to know "how did she do that?". Well...now I know. Ummm, think I have to go to Fire Mountain Gems and buy that transfer sheet...right now!
Do you have to use a special oven to bake these? Love your videos! I plan on making the steam punk one for a coworker who is retiring and loves steam punk.
ronie327 I hope you can save for the stamps you like. Consider it an investment in relativity. Once you have it, you'll have it forever. There are so many ways you can use them.
Lisa Pavelka i know. I am a single mom of three and can't seem to ever get a break for things that I want. but maybe one day. who knows. I really love your stuff. one day maybe. 💓
I always learn a lot from Lisa's videos. I have a question relating to her final backing layer (not shown). Is there another video where she demonstrates what she does to make it look more professional? Does she burnish that layer along the edges? Thanks for sharing her tutorials
Hi there. Lisa is great, isn't she! We're glad you're enjoying her videos. At about 14:10, Lisa explains how to finish the backing of the project and why she doesn't complete much more than what she demonstrates to the back. I hope that helps.
If the poly bond gets on some of the extra clay that you cut off can you use that for another project or is that scrap now ruined from the chemical that's on it?
Hi, Theresa! Our jewelry designers offered this, from their experience: "In general, no, Polybond will not prevent you from using your scrap clay, but--it depends on how much Polybond is on the clay, and what you want to use that clay for afterwards. It does turn hard, so you will have a hard little bit in your scrap clay. If it is important to have perfectly smooth clay, don’t use it. If you are using it as scrap for the core of a bead or a base for something else, no big deal. Use the slightly flawed clay with a bit of dried Polybond in it. The nice thing about Polybond is that you only need a tiny amount, and it is heat safe, so putting it in your craft oven will not harm anything." Hope that answers your question(s)!
Fire Mountain Gems and Beads thank you so much for answering that for me. I just did a project from one of your other tutorials and really love your teaching.
Can you tell me where I can find the findings Lisa used in her projects - gear pieces? I haven't located them in your catalog. Thanks much. This project is wonderful!
Hi there Terri, we can't fit everything in the catalogs and therefore some things can be found only online. Here is a link to the gear components she is using in this video: fmg.co/Auj8nu
Polymer clays naturally shrink a little as they dry and can shrink a smidge more during baking. Try adding liquid polymer clay in the cracks, then re-bake according to the temperature on the bottle's instructions.
Polymer clay is baked, usually in a craft oven. Each brand needs a slightly different baking time and temperature, so you'll have to check the packaging.
Hi, your video and your designs are excellent. I would like to do a little nitpicking though. The art style is not Pop Art, which is based on images from popular culture. What you are demonstrating is Op Art, short for Optical Art. Op Art is art that produces optical effects through lines, shapes and colors. Fantastic project.
Hi Richard, thanks for your comment. The design of my stamp is based on the background graphics commonly found (such as flares, swirls and graduated dots) in much of the Pop art of the 60's. It was my research into the genre that which served as my inspiration for many of the patterns of this stamp.
Some designers prefer them the opposite way--and there are glue-on bails which reverse the textured side, so it's not just them. Different strokes for different folks!
Allow me to put what probably seems to be an overstatement into context. Please understand that a lot of jewelry is inaccessible to people with sensory processing issues. Generally, the less tactility with which an adornment can be finished, the more people will be able to make use of it. Being conscious of this, designers' making by hand, for public consumption, are in an ideal position to take this into consideration when they create.
Lisa tries to offer multi-channel education. Some folks learn best from listening, some by watching, some by doing. It's hard to balance. Thanks for the feedback--we hope that other videos teach closer to your personal learning style

I love you Lisa. I'd give anything for a day in the studio with you!! Ahhh to pick your brain and learn your brilliant techniques...priceless.
We agree, Lisa is great!!
Amanda, look me up if you’re ever in Las Vegas. You can message me on Facebook. Perhaps we could set up a studio day!

Lisa calls the round metal finding and "hammered metal frame" but I can't find it on Fire Mountain Gems site. What else might it be called?

If I don't have poly binder, could I use liquid clay?
Tia Tay yup , sure can ! Liquid clay is perfect for adhering baked clay to fresh clay !

I want that texture sheet so bad😢😢. Went to Hobby lobby Michael's and Joann's with NO luck finding any stamps 😢😢
This and some of my other stamps are available at www.firemountaingems.com Melissa.

Hi. I need some advice. I made a little box - well I put clay on a little wooden box and it's started to crack from 2 corners. How can I fix it?
Polymer clays naturally shrink a little as they dry and can shrink a smidge more during baking.
Try adding liquid polymer clay in the cracks, then re-bake according to the temperature on the bottle's instructions.
Thank you. I will try that tomorrow.
keep us posted!
Lisa where can i get those rubber stamps ?
Hi there, you can find the rubber stamps Lisa uses right here at Fire Mountain Gems: fmg.co/xtSCbJ
I had a request that can u say how dry d polymer clay plzzz plzzz create a video on this problem of mine....plzzz
Polymer clay is baked, usually in a craft oven.
Each brand needs a slightly different baking time and temperature, so you'll have to check the packaging.
Can't you use premo clay?
You sure can. In this video tutorial we chose to use Polymer clay.

Or...."drop-out" art? (I was there.)

ATTENTION: The bump out on the bail should face front allowing the pendant to lay comfortably flat against the skin.

more work, fewer words.
Thank you for your feedback!
The product is great. The presentation has too many talents. It becomes frustrating to watch.
Thank you for the feedback!
love these videos but wish she'd do more and talk less. maybe just excited to see the outcome, sorry!
