Creative ideas with Cernit Number One Opaque

Graphic earrings, sculptural rings, textured pendants, original brooches, personalized key rings... Cernit Number One Opaque bends to your every whim:

• Decorate earrings with a Moïko texture plate.
• Tube beads for a trendy elastic bracelet.
• Pendants to hang from your necklaces or earrings.

It's easy to work with texture plates, silkscreens or rollers to create relief, and responds perfectly to cookie cutters for clean, regular shapes.

You can also mix it freely with other colors in the range to create your own shades. Beware, however, that mixing with another Cernit range will alter the properties of the paste obtained.

A few tips to get you started

• Always condition your paste before working with it: a few minutes' kneading is enough to make it supple and homogeneous.
• Store at room temperature, rolled up in its packaging and stored in an airtight box.
• Avoid contact with PVC, polystyrene or expanded polystyrene: these materials degrade the dough.
• If dough is too firm, a few drops ofpolymer clay softener will do wonders to restore a pleasant texture.
