Thanks heaps Donna, so glad you like this one and so honoured to read your comment, how beautiful. Hope you have a great day xx

that's a beautiful thing to say Susan, huge thanks honey

thanks so much

Hi Cara, thanks for your comment - I really appreciate it. I created this video 4 years ago befand was unaware of any safety concerns back then. I'll make sure to go and put a safety warning in the description (which I should have done ages ago). Thanks again.

@@debbiecrothers1 no worries. I wasn’t trying to come across in the wrong way. It’s just concern for people just starting out. I love your work, it’s very unique. Will have to try kato clay, I noticed that Riot now stock it. I live rural and rely on online shopping mostly. Thank you for sharing your techniques. I’m going to work on pods today. ✌️❤️

@@carrma57 oh absolutely honey - I never thought you were coming off the wrong way. It's something I should have thought of ages ago and didn't. I'm so glad you like my work - thank you - that's so kind. Yes Kato clay is one of my faves and unfortunately has had a bit of a bad wrap with some of the new generation of clayers. It has a completely different conditioning process which is why I created a tutorial on how to condition it. It's a perfect clay for the climate I live in and for the processess I like to use - especially shaping those pods. Thanks honey - take care xx

thanks heaps Kathleen xx

My pleasure xx

My pleasure Nina. xx

thanks so much Peggy x

what a beautiful comment, thank you so much.

Hi JC! Thanks so much for your great comment and you know it makes me so happy to know you enjoy the tutorials. I love making so them so I'm sure there'll be more in the future. Isn't it funny - I don't think I have an accent hahaha

thanks so much xx

thanks heaps Donna ♥

oh my gosh of course, Wentworth - awesome show. Don't be sad, just play with some clay :) xx

Hey Gloria, you know I haven't tried on cured clay but I'm sure you could get it to work. I like to use raw clay that way I can manipulate the veneer any way I want to and create 3 dimensional objects. So glad you like the tutorials, huge thanks. x

Thanks so much for your kind words. Unfortunately the tutorial about curing kato liquid clay is in English. I'm so sorry!!!

aww thanks heaps. I've used blending solution mixed with alcohol ink in this tutorial to allow the inks to flow easier. If you simply drop alcohol ink on to the surface of raw polymer clay it won't flow. You could alternatively add blending solution to the raw clay prior to dropping on your inks but this product dries very quickly so you need to work fast. I foung using blending solution/alcohol ink mix was just another way to apply the inks. Hope that helps. ♥

Hi Maricar, absolutely although you would need to remember to work on a flat piece. Kato liquid is great for using on domed pieces as well as flat. Huge thanks by the way x

Hey Brenda, thanks heaps...so happy to hear you like the videos. I have a dedicated oven for polymer clay which I've been using for a long time now. I would suggest if you're going to be doing LOTS of polymer clay it would be beneficial to get a little bench top oven (if budget allows) otherwise it's quite okay to use your home oven. There's plenty of info online about how to do it. Thanks again x

oh my gosh, I'm so bad at technology and have only just found all these messages. I'm so sorry. Yes, you could definitely remove alcohol ink if the colours are too heavy in one spot. I would probably use a baby wipe to dab lightly on the surface you want the ink removed. There are other ways to do it but this is probably the easiest. Thanks so much for getting in touch x

my absolute pleasure

Hey Matana, I like to use Lisa Pavelka foils as they're the ones I have the most success with. And yes I do have a tutorial for curing kato liquid clay with a heat gun. You can find it on my website at debbiecrothers.com. Many thanks xx

oh really, I had no idea...I haven't seen it to be honest. We were talking about this in our facebook group so I decided to give it a try. I would love to see your video on this one.

@@debbiecrothers1 no problem ! Surtout que je trouve tres honnêtement que votre résultat est meilleur 😉. J aime beaucoup votre chaîne ❤❤

well that's a lovely thing to say - huge thanks. xxx

Hey SG, so sorry for the late reply. Yes you're understanding correctly. I'm letting the inks dry then cure in the oven. I then add two coats of kato liquid clay (one at a time) and I cure with a heat gun as this is a curved surface. I have a tutorial on my website (it's a paid one) which explains the complete curing process of kato liquid clay on 3 dimensional objects which includes lots of troubleshooting tips, what to do and what not to do etc etc. My website is www.debbiecrothers.comCan't thank you enough for your support SG xxx

I actually cure my Kato Liquid Clay completely with a heat gun. It's a little complex if you're just starting. I actually have a paid tutorial on my website with complete instructions (plus more info) on how to coat and cure a 3d piece with kato liquid clay and a heat gun.

Hey Melody, yes the light bulbs are fine to cure in the oven with the clay. I checked with an electrician before I did anything.....and huge thanks.

Debbie Crothers Thanks so much Debbie! So appreciate your response. You're the best!

my absolute pleasure Melody xx

Hey Melody, so glad you enjoyed the video. Yes I cured on the light globe - if you're concerned about that you can always use a bowl or something with a similar curved shape to cure your work on.

Absolutely Nancy. I like to use Kato liquid clay for all my surface finishing, it works beautifully and seals everything in incredibly well.

hey Tamara, yes that's pretty much the technique for using foils. They can be tricky and they don't all work so just keep that in mind.

This one is a Lisa Pavelka foil (copper) and I got this particular one from Lisa Lambright from ILove2Craft or The Great Create in Denver. Lisa is the distributor for LP products.

Hey Janet, so sorry for the delay in responding to your message. Not a stupid question at all (in fact there are never any stupid questions), yes I cure right on the light bulb itself. It should just pop straight off once cured and cool. I would suggest letting it cool completely before trying to get it off - polymer is at it's weakest when still warm. Thanks so much for getting in touch.

Hey Deb, yes you can use alcohol ink on cured clay although this particular process could prove a little tricky. I haven't tried on cured before but by all means give it a go and see how you get on.

well have never heard of that to be honest Fran. I'll be sure to look it up if I plan on doing any more. Thanks.

So glad you think so, huge thanks x

Hi Jelena, I use Kato liquid clay to seal this piece. I have a tutorial on my website which shows how to work with kato liquid on 3 dimensional surfaces. www.debbiecrothers.com/product/curing-kato-liquid-clay-and-so-much-more-with-debbie-crothers

Huge thanks x

Hi Adrienne, thanks for getting in touch. I'm not sure I understand what the benefits of using the permanent marker is rather than bottled alcohol ink? I would have to pull the marker apart to access the alcohol ink to then drop onto the surface of the clay - that seems a little more messy than simply using the bottled stuff. Would to have your thoughts as to why the markers would work better. Thanks again

Hi Dottie, start at 16.04. I've explained the process in detail and showed how I created the foil top. Thanks
