Recently, we had tons of fun when we pulled out our hot pots and the Mold n Pour material. Take a look at some of our art embellishment pieces. I love those crazy little frozen charlotte porcelain dolls from Germany, so I decided that it would be so cool to be able to have them whenever I wanted, in lots of sizes and colors...also, we are now selling anagrams by the letter...so we made duplicates of them, too...I found a whole bunch of white porcelain letters in SF on one of my recent trips, so I will have a class sometime soon, where you can come in and make your own letters!! The "R" and the "O" shown below are both replicas made from UTEE. If I make something out of the platinum UTEE and I want it to look a little more silvery, I will rub a bit of our new Viva Inka Gold rub-on over it...it buffs up beautifully..comes a a few different colors, too. The last photo shows the original, the mold, and the replica. The yellow "V" is the original.,,,the white one is the copy.

  1. Love all the "Mold n Pour" goodies! I love my melting pot and making molds of things to then fill with Utee! It is so much fun and so satisfying!

  3. Kate,

    You and your team outdid yourselves again yesterday with the AAOYS, it was fabulous, both inside and outside. Came home with a ton of stuff I don't really need, but which makes me very, very happy. I didn't get in until midnight, but spent 2 hours looking at (absolutely) everything :-) Thank you so much!

  5. I have had a melting pot for ages and have never used it. This inspires me to break it out and give it a try!

  6. Is this similar to the clay you mold and then bake to harden. I have done that in the past to make miniature seals.

  7. I also wanted to share a technique I learned this weekend. You take a big glob of embossing powder on a piece of paper. Use the heat gun underneath it to melt the powder. When melted, press an image into it and let it solidify.
