Now it seems the website listed on the package is not related to the name Suze Weinberg. I checked for Suze Weinberg online and she has some very old youtube videos using the Foil Melts (plus others).
Anyway, long story short, these little melts work beautifully. I only tried two variations but the results were great.
This is what I did:
* I created a base bead, applied my foil melts directly to the raw clay and cured. When the bead was cured and slightly cooled I coated with 3 or 4 layers of kato liquid clay and cured with a heat gun each time.
* I created a base bead and cured it. I applied a coat of kato liquid clay, stuck my foil melts onto the wet liquid and then cured with a heat gun. I then applied two additional coats of liquid clay.
The surface of the bead looks "crinkled" but they are silky smooth. The second last pic in the series will show you that.
Wow, these are stunning Deb! I have never heard of foil melts
ReplyDeleteaww thanks Dani. I'm not even sure if you can get them now Dani actually, I couldn't find from my original supplier so don't know even if they make them or not. I'll bring them over in September.
DeleteDebbie, I googled foil melts and found the following link:

Is this the same product that you have used?
hmmm let me go check now Susan. Will let you know.
Deletegood find Susan but not the right product. I've actually purchased these already and as soon as they turned up I realised they were wrong. I even got in touch with Suze Weinberg who originally released the foil melts all those years ago and she doesn't think they are produced anymore. Very sad because they are beautiful but I'll keep looking for something similar.
