- A polymer clay tutorial on how to obtain realistic fire opals in just polymer clay, without using resin.
The tutorial will show you how to imitate the milky fire opal, the matrix (boulder) fire opal and the Mexican fire opal. The Milky opal (with a different brand of flakes) was actually a sponsor release in August of last year. This is not a final version, just an easy way to DIYfairly realistic fire opals
As I have tried so many flakes until I got the Ice Resin flakes, I can tell you that out of everything, these were the best. Do not waste your money on the Lumiere flakes - there are super expensive (you get about 1/10 of the quantity in the Ice Resin flakes container) and they don't have half of the sparkle of these ones.
I got the Ice Resin flakes listed in my Amazon Influencer store:

I hope you enjoy making these! Happy claying!

Thank you for the tutorial. Kalyana, you are really good. I am enjoying all your videos,
Thank you!
I love your tutorial!
Thank you! 😊
The yellow and orange hues are the more desirable fire in real opals and make the cost higher but I love the green-blue and purple iridescent fire ...I love love love opals. We are kindred spirits! I used to use ice resin but now I use UV clear coat polish cured in 30 to 90 seconds . The UV nail kits with a lamp are 20 to 30 dollars on amazon with free shipping. I love ice resin but the UV resin/nail polish is so easy no mixing and it cures so fast!
I love your work...as well as your channel! I have been binge-watching your videos
Thank you!
Beautiful. You have surpassed yourself.
Thank you!
Well done!
Thank you!
Beautiful 😍

Merci, Cecile!

WOW!
Very nice I will give then a try, thank you
Thank you!
Very nice
Thank you!
Kaylana, yesterday I purchase a 2oz block of Premo! Sculpey Accents called’Opal’. Flakes of light green and light blue are visible through the block. It was the only block on the shelf and I just had to have it. All I need now is ways and ideas how to use it!
I'm afraid you won't be able to get the same effect using Premo opal. As for ideas, I know Polyform has a neat tutorial on the product on their channel. You might want to give it a try.
Clever clever girl
First, thank God, I found you because I have always searched for such videos... Secondly, I would like to know how hard is the opal that you made?
It's polymer clay. So it's plastic. It's much lighter than a real stone and it feels like plastic. Being plastic, it cannot be cast in metal settings as it would melt and catch on fire. So if you were looking for finding faux stones to pass as real stones, this is not it.
wooooww
If you used black transparent would it look like an Austrailian opal? What if the backing was black? Trying to reeproduce the expensive black opals from Austrqalia.
I have a black opal tutorial that is sponsors only. But no, in this case, it won't. In the black opal you have the flashes that appear on areas where there isn't anything. You would see these flakes 10 times more evident on black than they are on translucent. You need a completely different kind of flake and type of technique czcams.com/video/gZ7VUPdqnxw/video.html
Not quite the opals I had in mind but the video after yours is perfect except for the use of black eye shadow pans which leave rings on the bottom. That should work in a mold and I have th cello glitter in dark blues and reds as well as the other colors. BTW, you accidentally solved a problem for me. I've been making dragon eyes with nail polish because I'M not fond of making canes and they don't look the same as polish. The ones you print out and paste on cabochons look like everyone else's. So far I've had no problems with nail polish but was trying to figure out how to make sure it didn't hurt the clay and then saw your goddess video with the pink quartz. You put aluminum foil behind the stones. So I can continue using the nail polish dragon eyes and just put foil behind them so they won't contact the clay. Thank you thank you thank you. czcams.com/video/ZEg2DCwC9Bs/video.html
Well, see, making faux opals (or any other translucent stone) out of resin is so simple even a 2nd grader could do it. The challenge is to make them out of polymer clay, without resin.
Glad the "follow me" is solved now :)
I'm not sure the black really expensive ones from the Cooper Pedy mine in Austrealia can be made with polymer clay because they appear completely clear. If resin is poueed in a mold and the cellophane bits are added it should work with black clay backing or dyed black resin on the back. Clay backing might be best as it would give added weight. I'm just glad one of your videos showed me how to overcome the nail polish problem with the dragon eyes. I mostly make fantasy things...dragon eyes, faerie huses, faeries, Harry Potter things, etc., and most of it uses polymer clay.
Actually no, you would still see the flakes, even if you'd back it with black. The thing is, as I explained, that you're trying to imitate a light color not a pigment color. You'd have to 1. make the cellophane sit completely rigid straight and 2. find the perfect position on which it would be impossible to see it (on the edge) from the front and start seeing it only when the light strikes it when you move the cabochon. Also, you can't back the resin with clay, as you'd have to bake the clay and you can't bake most resin.
Trust me, I know how to make pretty much all translucent stones with resin. I'm just not interested. There is no challenge in that. Any Chinese plasticker can do that, as you can find on eBay, Etsy and all over the internet and in dollar stores.
Where can I buy these?
I'm afraid I don't have any left right now. You can always check the store on my website, in the "cabochons" section, that is where I post what I have for sale. Or when I do destashes.
