Hi,
I'm new here but have read many fantastic things on this site. You guys really know how to give life to the smallest things.

Now, my question:
I've found a link somewhere on the site, but forgot to copy it.
The link showed how to make ivy leaves using FIMO liquid Oven-hardening deco gel and an PE sheet of ivy leaves, the end result was much beter then the PE stuff + You can keep creating the leaves instead of buying them all the time.
The technique wasn't that difficult but i would like to get the info again, so I can put it away in my techniques book.


Does somebody knows what I'm talking about?
Looking it up didn't helped, I've been searching for 4hours now.

Regards,
Davy

If it's any help it was On Calvin Tans site, which I believe is

Thank you that is what I was looking for.
Many thanks,

Now that's a cool idea. Thanks for the link and sharing.

I recently bought the materials for this, does one require a heatgun? or can a hair dryer be used?

Cheers Damian

well on the link its said he used a heatgun (cause the fimo needs to be baked i think).

But perhaps you can try it once with a hairdryer and let us know the result

Verrry interesting!!! Has anyone tried using rubber latex (the kind for mould making)?

Yes Biggles, I tried rubber latex and it didn't work for me. I watered it down alittle bit to apply it to the leaves, and it dried too line and fell apart when I tried to remove it from the brass.

Hey guys

I recieved my Fimo liquid in the mail today from the UK.

I got my photoetch leaves on Monday, Set II, and Set III, both from Lionroar.

According to the Fimo instructions, you need to bake the Fimo, in an oven @ 130 degrees (celsuis).

Question is, can i put the photoetch in the oven?

Another option is a heatgun....or... i do have an open fireplace......

Any ideas?

Damian
