I am looking for a project i saw on the CAROL DUVALL SHOW a while back. The guest had a skillet and dropped liquid acrylic into the water. It turned into a solid decoration you could use for rings,or other. She used different colors for some of the projects. I think it was liquid acrylic but she used a little electric skillet. I would like to find the directions so i can buy and make them.

Hi Linda, the item used was polymer clay. You can can get it at any craft stores like A C Moore Craft, or Michaels. you use this clay to shape an item then bake it in the oven. The show you are talking about is where they used the same clay in a melting tray (or pan). they- used clay with a marble color and other colors swirl in pot with a stick to make marble effect. pour onto heat safe counter and cut quickly to make a shape… you can also use a cookie cutter— let it cool and it hardens! Hope this was helpful,Rita

I’m sure if you wrote to either DIY, or contacted Carol there, they’re sure to answer your question about the exact product that was used.
I don’t know what the paint is but Carol Duvall does have a website with most of her crafts on it.
Carol duvall has all of her projects on DIY Network. You will find it there.
Hopr this helps you 🙂
if i am correct, are you thinking of suze weinberg? she had something on carol duvall’s show where she used powders and made jewlery pieces. hope that helps =)
Have you tried going to the networks website and looking for archived shows? If you can’t find it there you can usually contact, via email, the network and they should be able to help you. Or, you could go directly to the the Carol Duvall show and email them.
The company that makes them is Ranger. They have a melting pot and Ultra Thick Embossing Enamels to use in it. Here is the link for the manufacturer:

This is just one of the places you can buy it:

Are you sure it wasn’t something called “UTEE” or ultra thick embossing enamel? It is usually poured into a “melting pot” or skillet and it melts so you can pour it into different molds or dip metal pieces and other things into it to coat. It is a Suzy Weinburg product and she sells the melting pot as well. You can find both products at your local Michael’s craft store in the stamping section. Good luck.

suze weinberg was on Carol D, several times, and she used embossing powders in her little melting pot. She had her own brand, but others work as well to pour and mold like she did. The above link is to one show where she melted enough to mold a little trinket box
