Iridescent Fairy Wings
 

Hello,

I am new to this site, so I apologize ahead of tiem if this question
has been asked.

Does anyone know how to make Iridescent Fairy Wings?

Thanks

You can add mica powders or glitter to liquid polymer clay and either
spread out the clay, bake it and cut it, or bake it within a wire
framework for the shape.

you may be refering to Jones Tones Foils---they have a hologram sheet, and
an oilslick as well as metallic colors and a rainbow sheet too.. The holo is
nototiously hard to transfer....JT foils are found in craftstores in the
fabric painting section quite often. You can transfer to clay tho---they are
plastic sheets, place with the colors or pretty side UP and the back of
that on your clay, burnish down well, then RIIIIP away like a bandaid---pull
fast.

once its applied to the raw clay, cut shape and bake the clay as desired.

Jones Tones also makes fabric paints as well as these filmsheets---you can
paint sheer fabric and use that for wings too. Also, liquid clays or
varathane can be applied to fabric as a stiffener.

I haven't heard of varathane, so thanks for the info.

Bascially what I am trying to achieve is the attachment file

I believe that is the JT and is done the way you explained, correct?

Thanks for your help,
A

Airdiana, the attachments dont go through--this isnt a newsgroup for
binaries. Can you put it someplace of your own and then post a link?
