shannonc60 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Anyone got a good cold porcelain recipe? I found a few recipes online using cornstarch and glue but I think you need to rest the mix for a couple of days. I have made some with white bread in the past but I don’t have any white bread. I want to make some things.... don’t want to wait for the stuff to ‘mature’! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 I found this: https://www.wikihow.com/Make-Cold-Porcelain Quick enough for you? I think you have to let it rest at least the 24 hours for the various chemical bonds to form for it to act properly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly N Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Cynthia Howe has one but there are several on the internet, some cooked and some not cooked! http://www.cynthiahoweminiatures.com/coldporcelainrecipe.htm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid-life madness Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Shannon, I think I saw a recipe in AIM. Is there a index for AIM subjects somewhere? I have so many book marks saved on my computer, I cant find anything when I want it. http://www.ginabellousdolls.com/flower_tutorial_2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had made it last night, it would’ve been ready by the time I wanted to use it but need to buy ingredients. 8 hours ago, Shelly N said: Cynthia Howe has one but there are several on the internet, some cooked and some not cooked! http://www.cynthiahoweminiatures.com/coldporcelainrecipe.htm Thanks Shelly! This is the one I was going to try. Seems easy enough. 3 hours ago, Mid-life madness said: Shannon, I think I saw a recipe in AIM. Is there a index for AIM subjects somewhere?

I am in the same boat... and I remembered that tutorial but no idea where I’d seen it. I will look at the AIM magazine too. 55 minutes ago, havanaholly said: Here's a link to AIM: http://www.artisansinminiature.com/ but I couldn't find a way to search for an individual article. Thanks again Holly. Will see what’s there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannonc60 Posted May 8, 2019 Author Share Posted May 8, 2019 If anyone was interested, I did have a go at making the cold porcelain today using the Gina Bellous/Cynthia Howe recipe. It was an unmitigated disaster, which I realised it was going to be halfway through making it. After I cooked it, I kneaded half of it but I was never going to get all the lumps out, so I threw it all out. And spent half the day cleaning the saucepan. I had read online about making it in the microwave and decided to try that. So I halved the recipe, mixed it all up in a bowl until it was smooth, and cooked it in a microwave for bursts of 15 seconds, until it was almost done, and then dropped it to 13 then 10 seconds. I think it was 9 bursts. Kneaded it up and it is great. Anyway, maybe this will help someone oneday! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelly N Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I had used Cynthia's recipe quite a few years ago and it worked fine for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I be nosy and ask what your plans are? I am making some flowers for now. I am firstly making some mini roses for a friend for her birthday. They’re easy enough, although mine probably aren’t the world’s most realistic roses, they are passable. And trying some daffodils and peonies (already can tell they are gonna be less than stellar) and tulips. I also have a ceiling light I am gussying up (I showed it on my blog with the rose shades) so it will have little roses on it too. And that’s all I can think of for now.
