Lisa Pavelka Signature Series Waterslide Transfers-Fine Arts~This selection of transfers
is called "fine arts". There are 50-60 images in each package of masterpiece images. These are EASY to use and
great for all types of clay and craft applications. All you need to use them are scissors and tap water. They
can also be applied to metal, cloth, paper, wood & glass. Use them in jewelry making, scrapbooking, clay, boxes,
frames, etc. You trim the transfers first and then apply. It advises that once applied craft knives and clay blades
won't cut through the material. You dampen the back of the transfer paper with a few drops of water and allow to sit
for 30-60 seconds. Slide the backing away with your finger- for clay place image face up over lightly colored clay-the
transfers are translucent so the color of the clay will show through. For non-clay, after dampening, blot excess moisture
with wipe or paper towel, slide the backing off and smooth the transfer onto the desired surface and allow to dry.
I used these last year at CHA and really liked them. They were simple and easy to use and the effect was
gorgeous. I like the selection of prints too. It appears that all the images are different too so something will
definitely meet your fancy. They are all different sizes too- smallest might be 1 1/4" x 1 1/4", some are a little wider.
Also, within this set, Fine Arts, there are Asian, pre-Raphaelites, Ancient and Renaissance images.

Lisa Pavelka Signature Series Craft Foils-Expressions~ Lisa was an innovator in using mylar
backed foils. She has also developed several techniques for polymer clay including faux dichroic glass. These
are easy to use and not your typical foils. To use on clay, simply roll out your clay, lay the foil over the clay, coated
side down, and burnish with fingertip firmly over the surface of the sheet using a scrap of paper between your finger and
the foil. This releases the metallic coating to attach firmly to the surface of the clay. You can use them to
gild, highlight and crackle on clay & crafting surfaces. A little goes a long way with virtually no waste.
Use the leftover foil speckles to create a confetti effect on unbaked polymer clay and air dry clays.
This set, Expressions, has 6 assorted color sheets measuring 4 3/4" x 8 1/2". The colors included
are gold, copper, silver, oil slick, splash and pearlidescent.

Fimo Decorating Gel~ I used this product at CHA 2007 and made a wonderful necklace using
metal pewter sheets and this gel colored with ink. As soon as I find it, I will put the picture up. Do you ever
have that problem?? This gel is oven hardening, super flexible and exceptionally translucent. You can use it to
do picture transfers from magazines, photo copies, crayon and pencil drawing. You can use as a joint sealer for mosaics
created with Fimo soft and Fimo classics clay and as an adhesive for hardened fimo parts. You can use it as a surface
finisher - water repellent, oven hardening varnish. It can be mixed with oil paints, dye powder and glitter. As
I said, we mixed it with a stamp pad refill ink and the result was great. It comes packaged with a nice little 11 page
project flyer too. It comes in a 50 ml plastic bottle.

~Poly-Glaze Tips & Hints~
It is non-bakeable. Use as an after baking surface treatment.
To prevent air bubbles, tip bottle upside down and start flow of glaze on scrap piece of paper,
then you are ready to glaze.
Neutralize any air bubbles by huffing on the surface. The carbon monoxide in your breath
helps to dissipate air bubbles or try using a straight pin, toothpick or needle tool and drag bubble to outer edge.
Press your fingertip on the bubble and lift away. Fill in with more glaze if needed.
Outline the area to be glazed and fill in center. This is true for any glaze type
product. DO NOT OVERFILL. Drying time varies between 15 mins to 1 hour depending on the thickness, room temp,
humidity, ventilation, etc. . You can build depth by applying glaze in layers. Make sure glaze
is completely dry before applying each additional coat. IF GLAZE IS NOT CRYSTAL CLEAR--IT ISN'T DRY. Building
layer upon layer can create a rounded, cabochon effect.
IMPORTANT!!
Poly-Glaze is a water based product. Contact with moisture and body oils can cause fogging
or dulling with prolonged contact. To prevent this and waterproof the finish, apply a layer of non-yellowing clear nail
polish, acrylic floor sealer like Future Floor or water based Varathane over the DRIED final layer.
