STEP 1
Apply a light coating of olive oil to the mold; the oil will act as a release agent. Thoroughly combine equal portions of each part of the Apoxie Sculpt.
STEP 2
Neatly fill the stamped area with Apoxie Sculpt and press to capture the texture.
STEP 3
Turn the mold over and the Apoxie Sculpt should release. If not, gently tap the mold or use a beading awl to carefully release the Apoxie. Flip the Apoxie over and place, molded side up, onto a non-stick worksheet. Using a craft knife, trim any excess clay from the design.

Optional: Embellish with crystal chatons.
