Technique 1: Crystal Clay, Transfer Sheets, PearlEx Powders and Nunn Design Resin
What I love about this technique is that I can teach two people how to do this and each piece will come out totally different. For people making artisan jewelry, this is ideal. When building your jewelry brand, you want to be unique!

Technique 2: Crystal Clay, Mica Flakes and Nunn Design Resin
Mica Flakes can be used with both Crystal Clay in the base of the Nunn Design Bezel Findings or over Colorized Nunn Design Resin. What I like about using Crystal Clay is that it speeds up the production process. This is ideal when teaching. I often pour my Nunn Design 2-Part Resin over uncured Crystal Clay, making this an easy under an hour project.

Technique 3: Organics, Crystal Clay and Nunn Design Resin
When working with organics on a colorized resin background, you need to let the resin set before adding the organics into the resin. If you don’t wait, the organics will sink to the bottom of the bezel. With this technique, you can embed the organics into the Crystal Clay and let set for only 90-120 minutes before you pour on a coat of Nunn Design Resin. Handy huh? The beauty is in the speed.

Technique 4: Embedding Seed Beads into Crystal Clay
This technique will have you scouring the market for small beads on the string! It doesn’t have to just be seed beads. Pearls work great too! It is a fun and quick way to create really interesting focal pieces that add color, texture and patterns.
