Liquid Sculpey® Bezel Pendant

Baking:

• It is important to use oven thermometer when you bake the liquids so that you can ensure your oven is at the correct temperature.
• Do not microwave the liquids. They must be baked in a Preheated oven at 275 ºF (130 ºC) for liquid colors and 300 ºF (149 ºC) for Clear – Do not exceed baking temperatures.
• If your piece is less than 1/4” bake for 15 minutes. For thicker pieces that are 1/4” or above bake for 30 minutes.
• If your liquid project has become yellowed or discolored in the oven, when you remake it, tent it by placing either – folding an index card in half and placing your project under it by using aluminum foil over your project.

Here’s a tip for baking perfectly in silicone molds. Dampen a dish towel with water and wring out as much of the water as you can. Fold the damp towel so that the molds can sit level on top of it. The damp towel will slow down the curing process so that the LS will cure evenly throughout and avoid warping.

Add Turquoise and Blue Liquid Sculpey® (LS) to the bezel in stripes.
Add a Blue dot to the bottom area.

Add a spot of White to the Blue dot.

Add a spot of Turquoise on top of the Blue dot.

Use the Needle Tool to pull lines through the colors.
Dip the Needle Tool into the center of the dot and pull it upward through the other stripes.
Remove the Needle Tool and wipe it clean with paper towel.

Repeat making more lines from the dot upward as shown.
Each time you complete a line, clean the tool with paper towel before dragging the next line.

Bake the bezel following the baking instructions for Liquid Sculpey®.
Allow to cool completely before handling.
If any LS was dripped or baked onto the edges of the bezel, it can be easily removed with your fingernail.

Add a jump ring with flat nose pliers so the pendant can be worn with a chain.
