* PRODUCT & MATERIAL
These imprint tools were designed by me to be used for polymer clay.
Use Suggestions:
1. Mokume Gane
2. Mica Shift
3. Lightly imprint a pattern into clay then colour the surrounding area with Pan Pastels
4. Use as a Stamp with Acrylic Paint (water and soft brush for cleanup)
The imprint base is approximately 3mm (1/4") thick and the working imprint area is 1mm (3/8 ") high. The base is 2" x 1-1/2".
* USE
The Fantasy Garden Series were designed with more intricate patterns than my previous tools and have a thicker line pattern. They have a working depth imprint of 3/8".
These imprint tools do not have a handle, so they need to be lifted from the polymer clay by the edges of the tool.
Depending on the clay that you are using and the thickness, I would recommend a small amount of release agent (water, ArmourAll, lightly dust with cornstarch, etc) depending on the clay you are using. Practice on scrap clay to get the feel of the pressure that is required. Due to the complexity of the design there is strong suction between the clay & the tool. If needed, gently rock the stamp back & forth in the polymer to remove after imprinting. Use your imagination to add additional imprints around (or in) the pattern area (i.e. ball tools).
