Creations in Jesmonite®

Élise Bautista Maillet, aka Les Lovers, explains how to create 11 beautiful decorative objects with this material. Before starting, it details the basic equipment to be procured. She then gives her advice on how to prepare the paste, dose the dyes, take care of the finishes and protect her creation from wear and tear. All the B.A.B.A you need to know to make your first creations in Jesmonite®. The advantages of this manual? Make your own silicone molds. Divert objects from the house to use them as molds. Give free rein to your creativity by playing with pigments to obtain marbling, with chips for a “terrazzo” effect, or with additions and inlays in the material (e.g. shell, gold leaf). For beginners, the author has prepared simple models: a soap dish, golden earrings, a rainbow bookend. To go further, it offers more technical models such as the top of a coffee table, a marbled dish, etc.
