Amazed at every single thing you make! Absolutely incredible!!!
Thanks so much, Alyson! ❤️
Beautiful! Thanks for taking us through the journey!
Thank you, Carrie!🤗
Потрясающе! Сколько кропотливой работы! Браво!
Thank you so much!❤
I forgot just amazing these you make I only wish I was this good at making them
Thank you, Sherry!
to do a whole tree like that you need to rob a bank😍😍😍
😂 Indeed
Imagine the money that's being made, and they're in the USA. All of the supplies are tax write-offs 😂😂❤❤
The money being made by the product companies, because it sure as heck isn’t me making it, lol.
You'll be surprised how a little goes a long way. The clay and paste and varnishes... what is expensive are the moulds, but you only buy them once. It's a time-consuming hobby, that's for sure, but it's worth every minute if you enjoy it 😊
Such a beautiful ornament! I love watching you work and am always looking forward to learning new techniques. I only make things for myself and my son and am a newbie at it even though I am older. It’s amazing what one can do with the right products and techniques. Your work is splendid!
Awe, you are so kind! Thank you, Giorgi! Have a Merry Christmas!

Thank you!
This tutorial is much better.
Шедевры!!!!
Thank you very much!
I LOVE all things French and vintage, and I especially love this gorgeous French, Louis Quinze - style Christmas ornament. It's soooo beautiful and you're really talented. I see that you use a lot of Pentart products, and I use them all the time since I found them on the website of a store here in Australia. The 2 Part Fine Line Crackle Varnish is the best product I've ever used for creating the look of old porcelain that's got some very fine cracks in the surface glaze. Where did you find the Lindy's Gang Mica Spray? It's amazing stuff, and it really does create the look of old marble with the off - white paint that you daubed over the top of it. Thank you so much for this brilliant video tutorial. Merry Christmas from Amanda Jones in Australia ❤
Thank you very much, Amanda! ❤️ Love Australia; I was privileged to visit Gold Coast back in the late 90’s. I believe I purchased Lindy’s sprays from scrapbook.com
This is absolutely stunning!!! How much time in real hours did it take to make this? I hope you got paid handsomely for this incredible piece of artwork!!! You are amazing!!
Thank you very much! Well, I didn’t keep track, but I’m guessing around 8 hours, and, no…my husband says I never charge enough. 🤷♀️
💜💜💜
Thanks!❤️
❤
Thank you!
Amazing the amount of detail. How many hours did you put in to create this piece?
Thank you so much! I didn’t keep track but I would guess between 8-10 hours.
You are incredibly talented and patient!! I have made some craft ornaments very simple and have been wanting to do up my skills with molds💙 your inspiration is greatly appreciated!! Have you ever attempted an egg ornament? That’s what I am trying to create with the frames and possibly crosses inside. Very old world crafted. Thx again for sharing⚜️
Thank you! Every Easter, I have good intentions to make an ornament. I have used egg shapes to make acorns, but not a Christmas ornament. I have made some that are shaped like a teardrop.
@@designsbyJ I have an idea to get antique/vintage egg cups and then coordinate an egg to sit on top🤷🏻♀️ something simple but unique enough to sell for Easter gifts. I’m still marinating on this idea. Worried the size would be to small to bring much interest. I wonder how big those Faberge eggs are🤣🤣🤣 .
Egg cups or tea cups for larger eggs was my thought. 🤗
Hello. I like your version of this ornament very much. Your work is excellent 👌. However, in my opinion, you should put a reference where did you get this idea. Thank you. 😊
Hi! If you’re the yuls from yuls my world, you are listed as my inspiration in the description box below the video. I love your channel and suggested folks watch you. 😉
Thank you so much for your kind words 😊 I am honored that I have people like you who appreciate my work❤ we learn from each other. You have great skills, I subscribed to your channel ❤
Awe, thank you! We all learn from each other all the time in every aspect of life. Blessings to you and yours!
Customer request and idea, she made it come to fruition. That's what artists do.
I think the bauble is fabulous.
Loved , will try some elements in my work, what kind resin you used ? Its bendable by heat , would love to try it out too thanks
Thank you! The Amazon link is in description box, but it’s Allumilite. 👍🏻
@@designsbyJthank you
Could you please tell us where you obtain the flat ball ornament that comes apart?
All products are listed in the description box below the video; however, the Etsy store I purchase from is currently out of these. 🤷♀️
This is gorgeous! I cant seem to find the Etsy shop where you got the ornament itself. Do you have a link?
Thank you! Here is a link to their shop. I don’t know if they still have exactly what I purchased or not as I bought them over a year ago. www.etsy.com/shop/BestPysanky?ref=yr_purchases
So you can reheat three clay with a heat gun?
That was resin that I was reheating.
VERY BEAUTIFULLY DONE! Don’t mean to pry, but How do you charge for your work? I’m setting up to start a small business & am at a loss. It seems this unique piece was a real labor of creativity & would deserve a higher price tag. Thanks for the video!
Thank you very much! Well, I never charge enough because my labor is never compensated say at an hourly rate. Most say to figure materials and charge 3-4x’s that. For me, trying to add up material costs is hard to get accurate as well. For example, I bought a new mold, the spray and the rhinestones for this piece. The rest of the materials, I already had but, obviously, purchased at some point. Yes, I charged a bit more then a normal ornament I just make to sell, but I really didn’t charge enough for this. 🤷♀️
@@designsbyJ I use to give away the things I made as a hobby. I’m disabled & working hard making presents for family with the intent to take pictures. Hopefully I’ll post as examples of my work. It will be a slow start, but a start nonetheless. I’ve got supplies from long ago too. I love to use things others didn’t see the potential in. I’m always looking for ways to save on supplies! I use plaster to thicken my paints cause it’s incredibly cheaper than Liquitex & the miss-tints at hardware stores as base colors esp for large projects. I totally understand the problem with figuring materials! I guess I’ll figure it out. Thank you for replying! I’m definitely a fan of your work & look forward to seeing more! Be blessed & have a wonderful Christmas🤩
Thank you, again, and same to you! 🎄🙌🏻
What size ball do you use, ornament?
This is a 4”
How long does it take you to create an ornament?
It just depends upon the complexity. This one took longer because of adding the resin topper and “ footer,” plus the rhinestone work. I’m estimating about 8-10 hours on this one. I guess I should keep track of my time, but I’m usually working on multiple things at a time while other steps are drying.
Have you heard of an exacto blade.
Yes. Question…would you use an exact blade to cut 1/4” thick wood? Thick resin is that hard. I like my fingers attached to my hands unscathed, lol. Choosing the correct tools for a project is part of safety.
Did you sell this one? If not, I’d like to purchase it!
It’s a custom order for a client, so, no it was pre-sold.
@@designsbyJ should have read the title! Lol
What crafting and never half way, what takent you have been given. One question, the price you charge could in no way reflect your talent and time; are you happy with your sales? No disrespect intended!
Thank you! Well…my family says that I never charge enough. 🤷♀️ I try to figure a fair price based upon the cost of materials. If I included a fair price for labor, no one would buy the things I create. So… the labor is a bit of a gift, I suppose.
Without narration tutorials are pointless. The speed is too fast to follow.
Just change the speed
Stunning!
Thank you, Tina!🤗
Beautiful
Thank you, Barbara!
