Hi. I'm Becky Nunn,
owner and creator of the Patera Jewelry Findings line.
Patera is latin for ornamental amulet
and are cast in the United States.
In this segment designer Mary Lynn Maloney will be rubber stamping,
painting and be using our UV Resin on our Patera raised tags
to create
another fabulous project.
Enjoy.
Now I show you a different technique for rubber stamping
using a painted background
and then I'll show you two glossy finishes.
For this project I'll be using a small glass of water,
my paint brush,
some pink acrylic paint,
the Patera small square raised tag,
black stays on ink,
our mini butterfly rubber stamp,
our large leaves rubber stamp,
some acrylic varnish,
our Gel Du Soleil UV Resin,
along with the UV lamp.
The first thing I'm going to do
is apply some of this pink paint
onto the Patera raised tag.
I'm just going to squeeze
a drop or two on there.
Take my paintbrush,
get that paint out of the way
and simply brush it on.
If you get any on the
frame
or it goes over on to the side
you can easily wipe it away with your finger or paper towel.
If you want your color very opaque and dark,
let this coat dry
and then paint another coat on top of it.
I have one here that's all ready.
So the next thing I'm going to do is some rubber stamping on top of the pink.
The first stamp I'm going to use is mini butterfly
and I'm using the black stays on ink.
Just tap it a few times on there.
Come straight down
on top of the paint,
press firmly, don't rock the stamp
and pull it straight up.
There's my butterfly.
Now I want a little something extra
near the bottom of the piece.
So I'm going to ink up just a portion
of my large leaves
and just hit
that bottom corner.
There you go.
Now my stamped Patera piece is finished but I do need to seal it. I'd like to show you
two different ways of getting
a protective glossy finish.
The first is with an acrylic varnish.
Very simple.
I'll just it painted on
with my paint brush.
One thin coat
over my decorated piece
and I'll just set it aside to dry.
Now I'd like to show you how to use the Gel Du Soleil Uv Resin
to give your piece
a beautiful domed glossy finish.
So simply pour it on
it's about the consistency of honey
and I'll twirl it around
so that the gel goes to the edges
of the raised Patera.
It takes a little while.
If you tip it
a little too far it will run over the edge.
You can just easily wipe that off
with your finger
or paper towel.
Now I'll put my piece in the UV lamp to cure. It takes about twenty minutes and when it's
done
it has a beautiful thick
durable glossy finish.
Now that your Patera piece is cured,
it's time to get creative.
You can put it all together with the Patera findings
and chains of your choice
and make a great piece of jewelry.
