I love the way colors and light play when using Fantasy Film. The effect is magnified under resin. I love combining materials to create sparkling dynamic pieces. Crinkled Fantasy Film is one of the best things I have found to simulate dichroic glass. I embed the Fantasy Film under resin and it looks very authentic – except much less expensive, lighter, easier, and accessible.
The piece above is reminiscent of a geode, with it’s organic design on one side and crystal sparkle on the other. I made this polymer clay pendant using a technique I invented to make polymer clay bezels. In this design, I left half of the pendant hollowed-out ready for filling. I crumpled up Fantasy Film and layered it in. It was then covered with resin. The finished pendant was strung with black and smokey grey glass and crystals with silver accents. I wish the picture would do justice to the sparkle.
Another way I like to use Fantasy Film in pendants is as a layered component.
In this piece I use a shell as my canvas. There is a cutout circle of fused Fantasy Film underneath the polymer clay hearts. This circle acts as an accent giving a more dramatic look to the pendant. Then I cut up tiny pieces of Fantasy Film and sprinkled them around. The whole thing is covered in resin. The pendant is strung on 4mm AB crystals. Very unique and sparkly!
Absolutely gorgeous pendants! I love how you used the fantasy film to make it look like dichroic glass. It really does look like it. And your heart pendant is very pretty.
