For these particular beads, I simply put them back in the oven at 200 degrees and bake for 15 minutes to heat-cure the paint and that gives it an excellent hold. Some of my other beads I do use a finish on——I use delta ceramcoat matte varnish and then I always heat cure after that——heat-curing is real trick to making them durable.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899414809146265629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-58042232428265627572012-11-12T15:07:49.275-05:002012-11-12T15:07:49.275-05:00This is great, Rebekah!

I'm always worried about the paint coming off, so I seal them.

For each of these beads I started with a baked core, then I put a thin coat of liquid clay onto the core to help the sheets of raw clay stick better… and then I roll the covered bead in the mold… the raw clay picks up the detail and the beads stay the same shape since the core is hard.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00899414809146265629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7271508841165439447.post-41920023191907458872012-11-10T15:16:43.030-05:002012-11-10T15:16:43.030-05:00Yep, I'm not into any of that fancy-schmancy s...Yep, I'm not into any of that fancy-schmancy stuff either!
