this video demonstration is brought to you by the crash channel in association with primo for more information visit hi my name is Kate Hemmings and I'm pleased to welcome you to a special video project demonstration brought to you by the quad channel in association with primo I'm joined by Korey and Brad he's going to be showing us how to create steampunk jewelry with primo hi Corey I'm okay no I have to ask what you're seeing right um it's difficult to describe really but it's it's a look that is industrial and Victorian a bit grungy you know there's a whole group of people out there a minute really into steampunk and it appears a lot of the time in things like the inside of a TARDIS there's a lot of it in the shops now you know it's just it's it's pretty somehow even though it's rusty and distressed it's really very very attractive and Primo's an ideal medium to make these sort of things out of because you can buy brass and copper and things like that you can buy ready-made things but they're not particularly cheap and also if you want to make something that's your own personal style or you want something that's going to fit in perfectly it's much much better to make it and with Premo with the consistency of primo it's very very strong so you can use it as jewellery and even if it gets knocked about it's not going to break or anything like this I mean these elements that I've made here I've actually sewn onto another band okay rather than doing it yes it makes it quite flexible and it just you know again the stitching adds a bit more to it makes it look a bit more primitive almost but we've got some other pieces that we've made here and you can embed items into Premo before you bake it things like watch parts glass crystals yeah if you're going to use crystals make sure you use glass and not the cheap acrylic ones I have a feeling the cheaper credit ones will melt but if you use the decent cut glass ones they'll be fine okay and then I've just assembled the jewellery with leather and chain and and you know bits of different kind of wire it would be nice if you could make something that actually the club we will fit it together and work but that's a bit extreme but I'm just ambitious but I've preconditioned some clay and rolled it out just know they are now I started with a goal this is just the ordinary gold and as I said before primo comes in gold like a bright 18 karat gold and also an antique gold not to mention not too many oh well yes absolutely lovely lovely ones yeah and I'll tell you what I like is a pearlized ones what I'd like to do is I'd like to do some steampunk that wasn't just sort of brassy colors but you had it sort of petrol colors you can do that would look really calming recycle those gifts but what I've done is I've simply mixed a little bit of red in with the gold a little bit of black in with gold to make my different shades and I'm going to show you very simply how to make a cogwheel okay okay if you cut yourself out a circle of clay and then use a smaller cutter these little cutters from scalping of brilliant you'll find endless uses for them okay cut the center out let's come out nice and clean mm-hmm and then I've got a small star cutter here if you just use one point of the star cutter yeah line it up on the edge and then cut around the edge how do you think of these things um I thought or an oil actually to be quite oh it's one of those things you think oh I'd really like to do that how on earth am I going to do it and it is very simple you could be it's quite quick I mean obviously the bigger the cogwheel the longer it takes but I am just going to finish this because I want to show you a couple of other techniques with this finished cogwheel that you can do before you bake it one of which you've just dressing it it doesn't matter if they're not exactly the same this is just a piece of sixth friend embroidery thread not an easy thing to say with lid hmm and if you just flatten it out if you lay it across your wheel you've got like a sort of battle-scarred machine scar effect on there it's distressed okay and the other thing is embossing powder is really really good this is a midnight blue embossing powder it's quite gritty you get a bit on your finger and just dab it into there you see it looks almost like a dark kind of sand on there yeah when that's baked when you bake the finish cogwheel in the oven the embossing powder will melt onto it and it gives it this sort of glassy effect that you've got on here almost looks like spill oil on the cob sheeni so you can do that you can take watch parts while old watches from car boots or you can you can't get some any on ebay anymore now because everyone's looking for them and they will just simply press into the surface of it and you can make those they can be baked in there as well as I say really anything anything that will withstand heat like gemstones and cut pieces of metal and the cream I won't hold it in you don't need to them glue it afterwards I just want to show you another very simple method of making a cogwheel similar to that okay let's just move this out a minute if you take a bit of the bronze okay yourself a wheel and this is a strip along a strip yeah I'm intrigued by this one serrated blade serrated blade yes serrated blade zigzag blade if you cut yourself a line a zigzag line that's a very thin line yep and if you grab the end of it let's just cut the end off there because it has no big food on it lift it from the mat right and then you can just any crating border wrap it around nice so clever so geez no I didn't quite cut that straight so you've got a slightly off-center rated edge on that to make it look but the other thing also then what you can do to close up the join on that is if you get a few scraps of clay let's use this bronzy color that I've made a bit more these like concave all tools that I've spoken of before you just press it into the surface right there these are brilliant and then they just pop around the edge just cover the joint or the other thing you can do actually let's put one on here if you pop one on here yeah and then you get a blade right you can screw heads that's pretty cool so it's really neat and as I say you know you can make all sorts of designs in the clay you can add sort of rivet designs on here again what I've done is I've got very thin piece of clay and they've been torn and they've been laid almost like it's you know you've just patch riveted something and I imagine if Hyrum you're gonna thread it with a jump ring or anything you would need to pierce it yeah you need to taste it before it's baked but I mean this one's been threaded with a jump ring but this one here because I didn't throw it with a jump ring what I have done is I've just backed against own it onto a piece of leather using sort of brilliant cord and strings of beads so you can make all sorts of different simple I mean these are really easy well just very very quickly show you that's the inside of your disc then if you just get one of these tools I'm running out of room now so much - okay well this is it it's one of those things want you to start doing it you go what right oh I can do this not to do that you definitely do yeah you can just start making your notches in here and the good thing about this silicon silicon mat if you don't need to keep me I mean I know I've been moving things around but you don't need to keep moving things around you can create lots of components all at the same time on the mat and then just pop more the oven because it can bake on there and I would just add it's nice job it's one of those things you start doing it you can't stop very going not screwing the middle and then a little tiny hole here for jump ring we've got time for here today but do stop by wwlp.com for more information and project ideas see you next time
