You first tutorial was excellent! Congratulations! I learn a lot. What I want now is a tutorial on how to make those beautiful eye pupils and other images :) Thanks!
Hi Anna, I really enjoyed your tutorial, you did a fabulous job of explaining the process without faffing about. Your jewellery is stunning! so much attention to detail. Well done on your first video and I hope there will be plenty more! xx
Very lovely, Anna. But I did not see where you taught us how to make the glass cabochons as your heading reads. I thought we would be making the glass domes.
Is the diamond glaze strong enough to stick the both for a long time? Can you recommend an alternative clear paste that will do the job or I can use any clear glue? Because most clear glues are not very strong...
I see this is an old comment but you can always place the cabachon glass with the dimensional magic onto a picture, let it dry and cut around it. Or you can but a 1 inch holes punch.
Hi Anna...so you put the first layer of diamond glaze and let it dry for 10 mins then glue down with another layer. I was trying to understand over the music but it sounds like what you said...cause mine keep smearing when i glue diamond glaze on directly with no wait...thank you for helping me with this
Hi Anna, How do you finish these? Do you just cut around the dome with scissors? Do you seal the edges? Thanks.
9 років тому
just cut it with a scissor. I don't seal the edges, it hasn't been needed for me so far as I mostly use them in beading (bezel it) and with PC (embed it in the clay).
what do you mean thats it..? You missed a whole bunch of steps. like YES how did you print them, what programs did you use, how do you cut them, and polish them etc. what was the glue....thanks

+Ella Marie Printing depends on what printer and printing software you're using. If you're meaning how you print the images I have for sell on my etsy, there's instructions on the page but basically - print on A4 glossy or matte photo paper without a border added. You just cut them out with a scissor ones the glue is dry. And the glue I used in this video was diamond glaze :)
Awesome Would have loved to see the finish product lol.... The jewel that you showed at the end was breathtaking wow.... Would love to know how to do those also
Hi Anna, Can you show us how to make the pictures? Do I just print it from my printer? Do I use photography paper or normal A4 paper? So many questions and I can't find any answer !!!
Not a fan of using printed eyes/designs, BUT there are uses for it. I was thinking though, If you cut out the pictures, (leaving a boarder) you could then pick up the print, and roll it onto the back of the cabochon. This would push the air bubbles out as you apply it.
I've made these type of photo-printed cabochons for quite a while. This is a trick I've learned. Rather than using glue or glaze or mod podge, I use Diamond Glaze or another brand of clear dimensional gloss to attach the photos to the glass. It resolves the issue of the photos becoming blurry or smeared looking. I use regular copy paper printed with a cheap inkjet printer. As long as the ink has fully dried, something like Diamond Glaze won't make the ink smear. Once you lay the glass onto the photo, it's helpful to move it around and press it down a little to get rid of any possible air bubbles.
Hi! Thank you for your tutorial. Very helpful. The paper you are using looks pretty think. Could you tell us what grade you are using? And is it glazed? Thanks
I wanted to know how you cut it and if you used anything to seal the paper in the back. I don't like that it's exposed because it could get wet and damaged more easily.
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial, Anna. It was. Very well done. Looking forward to making the dragons eyes especially. Can you recommend a site to download images for them?
Your tutorial is awesome, especially for a first one. I was wondering if you plan to sell the eye graphic. It would be helpful for those of us who don't know what program you used to create them or how to create them. I would also like to respectfully say that the background music is beautiful but makes it a little difficult to hear you. I would also like to say that I love all of the pieces you showed. Maybe a tutorial on bead weaving should be next on your agenda especially how to make the shapes of the bracelets, what you use as a backing and how to attach a backing to the bead work. best of luck to you.

+Mary Mangano Thank you for your feedback. And I've actually been thinking about putting up the eye grpx for sale on my etsy since there have been so many request :)
Hello, Your creations sindf really very much very nicely! Can you say me where I get the pictures, especially for dragon's eyes? Unfortunately, I do not find them here. Would like to produce glass-eyes for dragon. Dear thanks
Do you cut it out with an exacto knife? How do you finish the back? Very helpful btw. Ty.
9 років тому
I just use scissors to cut them out :) I mainly use them in my beadwork or in polymer clay so I don't really seal the back of them as I usually close them up by embedding them into the work; beading - bezel, pc - working it into the clay.
Could barely hear with that back ground music.can you explain what cam you explain what you were brushing on what they are and reason why use.can also show bottles.thanks
Can you use liquid clay to glue them together or is there some type of other baking safe glue
5 років тому+1
I've never tried, so I can't say for sure :) But I would guess it also depends on what paper you're using as some photo paper mainly have their film made from plastic, which melts at certain temperatures. I would suggest that you use a scrap piece and try it out for yourself and see what result you can get ^^
Hello, I am a photographer and I would love to print my own work to use it for cabochons as you do. Please, can you tell me how you print your images? I resize them in Photoshop but after printing they look awful :( I can't find any information online :(
9 років тому
Mon B. Hi. I usually print them on 5x8" photopaper from the printing software. I used that size when I made a document in PS, saved it and opened it in the software. I have a Canon MG5300. That's pretty much all I do to get the printed size I want.
Do you print on a laser jet? I have an inkjet and a lot of similar things say they won't work with an inkjet?
9 років тому
+Sharon Denning sorry for the late respond. G+ doesn't always seem to notify me about new comments... I'm using a Canon MG5300 photo printer. From my own experience photo printers gives the best result when it comes to quality, detail and colour :)
Precis den tutorial jag behövde :). Vad kan man använda för något som finns att köpa i Sverige istället för mod podge och diamond glaze?
10 років тому
Ingen aning om butiker i Sverige, jag bor utomlands :) . Men om du kollar på perlesandco.co.uk/ (de ligger i Franrike men leverarar till hela EU) så kan du hitta allt (utom mod podge) som jag nämde. Jag använder inte mod podge men "Nun Design Sealant" som fyller samma funktion. Annars finns alltid Amazon och Ebay :)
Du kan hitta både Diamond glaze och Nunn design sealant i de svenska webbshopparna, Smyckestillbehör har båda t ex och det finns säkert någon fler som har minst ena eller kanske även båda. :-)
Monica Gueye Hi. Nothing is on the back, just the paper. I glue the backside onto something else; fabric, metal etc. to finish them off. I never use them plain so the back shows.
Hello! Really great cabochons :) I just wonder, how do you make those pictures round? Idk, you do that in photoshop? Because I couldn't find any picture that is that round to print it :( Thank you very much for your answer
10 років тому
Yeah, they're made in photoshop :) What I basically do to get the right size in the software is that I open a new document with an equal sized square, and then I make a circle in it and start from the center. Hope that helps :)
is there a way to drill into this glass ? or if I want to do pendants do I have to attach something to it? does anyone knows?
9 років тому
I would not recommend to drill in glass unless you have a special diamond drill and tools adapted for that. There are a lot of setting for cabochons in metal where you can just glue the picture directly into the frame and then do the process I showed in the video with attaching the clear glass cabochon onto it.
Anna Fjellborg Just buy some glue on bails and super glue it on the back of the glass. You can get them on eBay or at FireMountainGems.com and most craft stores.
Ha! Excellent.
I had not thought to attach the cabochon before cutting the image out. Such a better sequence!
Such a "little" thing is a great help.
Thank you so much, I love your bead-work, and you clarified my questioning of glue for cabachons.
I must have misunderstood, but I thought you were going to actually show how to make the glass cabachon itself as it says in the title!
I am going to be doing this for fishing lures. great tutorial! I would have never thought it was this easy..
Thanks. I also would like you to make a tutorial on how you made the art (circle, oval sizes, where you got your pictures from) for your cabochons.
You first tutorial was excellent! Congratulations! I learn a lot. What I want now is a tutorial on how to make those beautiful eye pupils and other images :) Thanks!
Thank you very much for this excellent tutorial - very clear and inspiring
Hi Anna, I really enjoyed your tutorial, you did a fabulous job of explaining the process without faffing about. Your jewellery is stunning! so much attention to detail. Well done on your first video and I hope there will be plenty more! xx
That was neat how you did that. I really enjoyed watching your video.
Super cool, I will be doing some of these as I am teaching myself bead embroidery so please do more, thank you so very much
Very lovely, Anna. But I did not see where you taught us how to make the glass cabochons as your heading reads. I thought we would be making the glass domes.
Hi! Thanks for a great tutorial. I love your beadwork, very pretty the necklace. Best wishes from Romania. Melinda
Thank you Anna... this was a wonderful video, and so helpful!
you did really well for your first tutorial, I really enjoyed it :D and I love your accent
Is the diamond glaze strong enough to stick the both for a long time? Can you recommend an alternative clear paste that will do the job or I can use any clear glue? Because most clear glues are not very strong...
Is the photo paper glossy?
Is the paper sealant glossy as well?
Thank you for your wonderful video 😊
Very nicely done for a first video!
I hope you don't mind me saying, but you have the most beautiful skin!!!
Great video....Can you tell me how you cut them out? With scissors or an x-acto knife...??
I see this is an old comment but you can always place the cabachon glass with the dimensional magic onto a picture, let it dry and cut around it. Or you can but a 1 inch holes punch.
OOOOOOOOO thank you for the tutorial it was fantastic I will be brave and have a go myself , please carry on with the u-tube tutorials thank you xx
Hi Anna...so you put the first layer of diamond glaze and let it dry for 10 mins then glue down with another layer. I was trying to understand over the music but it sounds like what you said...cause mine keep smearing when i glue diamond glaze on directly with no wait...thank you for helping me with this

just cut it with a scissor. I don't seal the edges, it hasn't been needed for me so far as I mostly use them in beading (bezel it) and with PC (embed it in the clay).
@ can you please make a video on how to bezel them? And how to attach a bunch together to make some thing like in 12:18?
what do you mean thats it..? You missed a whole bunch of steps. like YES how did you print them, what programs did you use, how do you cut them, and polish them etc. what was the glue....thanks

Excelletn...thank you so much for your amazing reply. These eyes and print outs are fantastic. I wish an excellent day.
+Ella Marie Etsy has vendors who sell digital collage sheets with eyes in jpg format.
Thanks you
Good morning I’m wondering what type of sealant you use ? Thank you so much
Awesome
Would have loved to see the finish product lol.... The jewel that you showed at the end was breathtaking wow.... Would love to know how to do those also

Did the color smear because of the glue (glaze) or because of the paper? Is that photo ( picture) paper? Loved this video! 💜

Hi! Thank you for your tutorial. Very helpful. The paper you are using looks pretty think. Could you tell us what grade you are using? And is it glazed? Thanks
I wanted to know how you cut it and if you used anything to seal the paper in the back. I don't like that it's exposed because it could get wet and damaged more easily.
How did you print off the pictures to be round instead of square? Also how did you get them all lined up on the paper?
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial, Anna. It was. Very well done. Looking forward to making the dragons eyes especially. Can you recommend a site to download images for them?
Do these eyes make the effect where they seem to follow you and always look at you or no?

Hello, I am a photographer and I would love to print my own work to use it for cabochons as you do. Please, can you tell me how you print your images? I resize them in Photoshop but after printing they look awful :( I can't find any information online :(
Mon B. Hi. I usually print them on 5x8" photopaper from the printing software. I used that size when I made a document in PS, saved it and opened it in the software. I have a Canon MG5300. That's pretty much all I do to get the printed size I want.

I used normal scissors :)
Anna Fjellborg thank you!
Do you print on a laser jet? I have an inkjet and a lot of similar things say they won't work with an inkjet?

What size cabochon domes for a 20mm cabochon tray
Fantastico, mil gracias. Un saludo desde España

What kind of paper did you use ? Please
Photo Paper Plus Glossy, is the paper I used.
If you want to incorporate the glass cabochons + paper design with polymer clay, would it be safe for the paper to bake ?
Clay bakes at 235-265F, paper burns at 451F, so yes.
That was very useful, thank you!
where did you get those eye pictures fro i relly wanna know that
+sara Kaehne I made them in PS :)

Anna, Thank You. Nicely done.
Thank you so much for making this video! I appreciate you sharing your work and ideas!

Do you just use ordinary paper?
+Maddalin P I use Canon Glossy II photo paper :)
oh okay thank you
I ger tiny bubbles when mine dry :( what can i do to eliminate them?
Alejandra Vazquez Hi. Push them out with your finger-tips. Can't say there's another way. It takes a while, but that's how I did it.
Thanks Anna loved the bracelet
Does anyone know how to set your printer to print out those circles images?
Just use a template, and the graphics program of your choice.
Where do you get those motifs??
*graphics
I make them :)
Great tutorial! But it's a little hard to hear you, could you post this without the music?
