The beauty of symmetry and the gentle curves of organic shapes. Photos of examples shown.
Acrylic Mirror Shapes are 1/8" (3mm) thick and have a protective plastic film on the surface. Please remove this plastic film just before using it.
If you want to learn how to use these to create jewelry, please check out my classes on CraftCast.com and follow me on Instagram for mini tutorials.
Dye Sublimation Blank Shapes are made of Unisub FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic), sublimatable on both sides, matte finish (Matte according to Unisub, but I think the finish is more of a lovely low sheen.) I cut each shape here at Orange Poppy Studio. This material can be cut with a jeweler's saw. You will also receive a paper template of each shape. I find templates to be extremely useful in positioning the blank shape on the sublimation print. See the Quick Start Tutorial on YouTube at the Shelley Nordman-Orange Poppy Studio Channel.
Sublimation Specifications: 400 degrees F, 75 seconds, using medium pressure.
To sublimate you also need a 400 Degrees F Heat Source: heat press, Hot to Trot Travel Iron, etc. Most inexpensive craft irons do not get hot enough, topping out at 320 degrees F.
