I just received my order of Mona Lisa metal foils from MisterArt.com. I think the prices were great: six 5 1/2 square sheets of verigated for $4.73. I also purchased the Gold Leaf Kit which contains adhesive and top coat along with 25 sheets of 5 1/2 square sheets of ‘Gold’ leaf for $9.48.

LisaPavelka.com has some great foils at reasonable prices. I like the variety available in each package. They run $5.90 for six (6) 4.75″ X 8.5″ sheets. Each sheet is a different color or pattern.

I have no personal connection with either of these companies. Just wanted to pass along what I had found. May we all have a Happy New Year ‘playing’ with leaf and foil.

Hi Cindy,

I was wondering where I can get the Jones Tones foils. I looked in Michaels and I couldn’t find it. The sales person told me it might be available in the US Michaels stores but the stores here carry different items.

I’m looking forward to watching the video on the raku technique

@jj: Thanks! The trick with the Jones Tones foils is to make sure you're creating enough heat to bond the foil to the clay. So make sure you burnish for enough time.

@zoe: Thank you very much miss priss! I am glad to share what I know!

@Pat: You're welcome Pat. I'd love to see what you end up making!

I just got this email from Alli:

"i really like this i am a beginner at polymer clay and i would like to know if you use glase thank you' ALLI ROX AND U KNO IT "

Thanks Alli! You do Rock!! As far as using a glaze, I prefer to use Future Floor Finish or Varathane for sealing the Jones Tones Foils or the Mona Lisa Metal Leafs. I really don't like any of the glazes made by Fimo or Sculpey meant for using on polymer clay because I think they look too plasticky! Here's a link to an article with more info:
