The perfect one-of-a-kind pour paint jewelry piece or fine art reproduction print awaits you!
Pour paint jewelry is created by using acrylic paint and usually mixing another medium such as Floetrol, water or other things to make it more fluid. I say usually because due to the popularity of this craft there are now pre-mixed paints on the market that you can just open up and go to town. Don't let that fool you into thinking the process is suddenly automatic. Each brand of paint even down to individual colors behave differently and it takes time and patience to achieve the desired results. While it can be convenient to have bottles of pre-mixed paints there are creative advantages to mixing your own colors and effects you won't get any other way. There are many many different techniques used to achieve fantastic results. The run off I get from making one of my paintings is perfect for making jewelry but sometimes I just make a small puddle of a pour on the table and use that to make a pendant. I usually take the glass cabochon and dip directly into the paint. Other times I dry that puddle which is then called a "paint skin" and I can glue to that later and cut around the glass piece and glue it into its setting. Sometimes I will even glue to a canvas which has already been painted and use that. Then it is truly like you are wearing a mini painting which is why we also like to use the term "wearable art".
