Pro tip : watch movies on Flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.

@Luke Lennon Yea, I have been watching on flixzone for since november myself :)

I am so glad it has been helpful, thanks so much :)

Thanks so much Lee :)

Thank you so much :)

Thanks so much :)

You can use either. I have used baking sheet, as in the paper you use in the oven, very often in the past, and some of it is pretty thick and heavy, or as I have in this video, you can use one of the silicone baking sheets that I cut up into easy to use squares. I hope that helps? Thanks so much for your lovely comment :)

Thanks so much Janet :)

Thanks so much Lindy :)

It is definitely doable Lori, just relax and have fun with it ;)

Thank you very much :)

Thanks so much Kathy :)

Thanks so much Kim :)

Thank you very much :)

Thanks Jo :)

Muchas gracias Osvaldo Albarran :)

Oh wow, anything that turns into a butterfly has to be considered a success :) I bet it is actually better than you think it is. Every different way of placing the pieces will become a different pattern, so you may have just created your own unique cane instead. :)

muchas gracias Sandra :)

Thanks so much Linda, yes it is blessedly raining here now too. the slices were distorting so badly, I nearly stopped, but I got there in the end ;)

Fiona Abel-Smith PolyOriginals I’m in the fens, and even out here it’s been oppressive. The rain has given relief but I’m afraid all we will get now is humidity ☹️ managed to get a bit of clay done at last. The heat did give me an opportunity to get my clay supplies storage sorted. Believe me, that has been a huge positive 😂 stay safe and well Fiona.

@@DerekDogsforSentience Oh yes, it's a glorious feeling to get them sorted isn't it, I need to give mine another sort really, maybe when a get a spare moment ;) You stay safe and well too, thanks Linda ;)

Thank you Debadoo. No I definitely didn't mention the gears or handle, that must have been someone else :) But I do get asked a bout my machine a lot, so here is the standard reply which covers most of what you should need to know. I hope it helps :) The pasta machine I use is an Atlas machine, at home I use the 180 (a wider machine) and when travelling or on workshops, I use the 150. I have always used the Atlas machines and I find them very good for Polymer Clay. However, there are other very good makes, such as the Imperia machines, and of course those made specifically for use with Polymer Clay. Ginger Davis Allman, from The Blue Bottle Tree has a number of articles on Pasta Machines - thebluebottletree.com/?s=pasta+machines which may prove helpful in choosing a machine. Here is a link to an Atlas machine, (for reference only, as obviously there are many other places both online, and in stores where they can be found), and it is worth searching around till you can find a good deal on one. I hope that is of some help. www.amazon.com/Marcato-8320-Machine-Cutter-Instructions/dp/B0009U5OSO/ref=sr_1_3?crid=BPH5K7P26RQT&keywords=atlas+pasta+machine&qid=1556786279&s=gateway&sprefix=atlas+pasta+machine%2Caps%2C211&sr=8-3

@@FionaAbelSmithPolyOriginals thank you for the information. My apologies if I confused you with someone else.

@@DebadooCreates No worries at all, but I am curious now about this other person's machine, I may have past machine envy ;)

@@FionaAbelSmithPolyOriginals I have a really poor memory so I may have seen it somewhere else but I've mostly watched your videos. So it's possible that I had asked you before about your machine unforgotten because as I was reading in the links that you gave me about the LC machine I found it again and saw this ". The LC Machine has a 2:1 gear ratio, which means that the crank turns twice for each turn of the rollers. " that may have been were I heard it and just attributed it to you. But I love the idea even if not that particular machine LOL

@@DebadooCreates Yep, that's probably the one then, you are so sweet to bother and try and find out, thank you so much. I may still have a bit of machine envy going on then if it is the LC one ;) Have a great day :)

I buy mine in the UK from Clayaround - www.clayaround.com/ourshop/cat_895619-Clay-cutting-blades.html I hope that helps :)

I get mine in the UK from here :) www.clayaround.com/ourshop/cat_895619-Clay-cutting-blades.html

Oh that made me laugh out loud Susan :) No, not in the UK. Traditionally our weather never gets hot enough to need air conditioning and I know no one who has it in their own home. However, if the summers keep getting hotter the country may need to rethink that! So when the temperatures soar unexpectedly into the 30's here in the UK we sit and swelter, and yes, the clay goes soft ;) I envy those of you who have air conditioning !! :)
