Glad the article was helpful. For a video tutorial on using rubber stamps to add texture to polymer clay, you could take a look at the Volume-013 back issues. The link by my name will provide more info. Wonderful! Glad the article was helpful.

Rubbing alcohol will easily remove the excess paint. You won't have to sand it all off. I know what you mean about reworking a piece, till you get it how you want it and not just giving up on it. Sometime those pieces not only teach us a lot through trail and error, but often they end up being our best pieces. Let me know how the project ends up going for you.

I guess I didn't get the paint off fast enough as it dried before I got the desired effect. I would would like to remove more of the antiquing. Can this be successfully done with some type of solvent, or is my only choice to sand the paint away? I re-did the basic pendant three times before I was satisfied, so I don't want to just scrap it. Thanks! Joan Wallace Hi Cindy,

Then sand to achieve a very cool distressed look... as though the piece is revealing the past owners color choices over time... like an antique piece of painted furniture does!
