Supplies:

  • jewelry clay
  • parchment paper
  • disposable gloves
  • laser printed images to transfer
  • scissors
  • water
  • clay carving tools (optional)
  • Resin Spray

Making the clay pendants:

You’ll want to get a jewelry clay kit to start these pendants. Inside the kit is a pair of disposable gloves, full instructions, and two containers, one part A and one part B. To make the pendant you’ll take equal amounts of A and B, rolling them into a ball helps you to determine if you have an equal amount. Make sure you are using your gloves! You’ll then combine the two by kneading them together until thoroughly mixed.

Shape the clay into the pendant shape and size that you want. I split this into two different pendants.

If you want to dye your clay, using some pigment coloring and do so. I may have used a little too much blue in mine, but I do love the color.

Adding Ink Images:

Add the laser printed images to your clay while it is still quite sticky. Press them onto the sticky clay, but don’t press too hard because you don’t want the paper IN the clay.

You can use a small tool to decorate the clay if you want to, but this is totally optional.

Leave your pendants on the parchment paper for at least 12 hours so that can get a good hard cure.

Completing Ink Transfer:

Once the pendants are cured and hard, run them under warm water and slowly rub off the printer paper. The paper will peel off and the ink will remain in the clay. That’s how to do the ink transfer!

Finished Clay Pendants with Ink Transfer:

The last step is to spray the pendants with Resin Spray. This will give it a nice shiny coat and seal up the pendants.

    Wow! How beautiful are these? I never would have thought to do image transfer onto the EasySculpt. One more thing to try. Thank you for the inspiration!

    Do you use regular old copy paper in the laser printer or does it have to be a special paper?
