Hey everyone! I've been getting so many questions lately about polymer clay, how to bake it, painting sculptures and so on, so I figured this would be the perfect time to do my first Q&A. I hope you take some information away from it!

Dude! super helpful thank you. I personally don't you sound bored or uninterested. I quite like how there a bits of sarcasm here and there. Super bowl... or cly Q&A... silly question... clay of course. ASMR... ugh... not personally for me.

I have only found your youtube channel a month ago and have been fascinated by your creativity!! After just warching this program, I learned a lot since I am interested in trying sculpting out. I started painting about a yr and a half ago and really love it! Like you, I have a hard times letting my pcs go. They ARE trophies. I was thinking maybe you might add a class for beginning sculptures with smaller/ less complicated pcs that wouldn;t frustrate beginners too much. Lastly, the comment about your voice IGNORE. Your calm demeanor is great...one of the reasons I love to watch and listen. Keep up the great work. Thank you again

@romulomartinez2530 5 жыл бұрын

Love your work! So inspiring! A tip I want to share: to create wrinkle lines or hair lines in a smoother way or effect, I use a piece of thin plastic (like the one the laundries use for your clothes) and put it on top of the face or hair area, then in make the wrinkles marks on top of it. This helps to prevent to tear or scrape the clay. When you remove the plastic you will see it generates smoother lines. Thank you for sharing your talent!

@viviandibrell849 2 жыл бұрын

Great Q and A….concise and to the point. I heard that polymer clay gets stronger and more fully cured with the additional baking, that’s why you can sculpt and bake in stages and layers. I am guessing that not everyone pays attention to the 20 minute baking time per 1/4” thickness, most people just see that time and use it but if your clay is thicker than 1/4” you should bake longer.

I like 30 minutes videos as it usually is more informative. As I've taken a new interest in painting my sculptures, over using coloured clay, I like it when all parts get an equal share of the video. I've been using clay more or less for 20+ years but there is always something new to learn!

I would love a "trying to work with cheap clay" like from walmart or wish or something

@mercedesmarton3768 4 жыл бұрын

Walmart has only Sculpey kid clay and no tools (at least not in the store itself). The Wish clay is OK, a bit too soft for my liking, but what I do is roll it out med thick and put it between two sheet of paper. Let it set for a while to get the extra oil out of it. If you want to make Kawaii charms or mini food etc. you need a big color palette, but if you want to make sculptures like him, I would use single color clay and paint it when it's done. Much more cost effective. Also you can get 40-50 % off coupons on the craft store apps ( Michael's, JoAnn and Hobby Lobby). Price wise Hobby Lobby is your best bet. Also Michael's have a cheap line of clay for about 1.99$ if I remember correctly (at least here in Mid-West). They are quite hard and needs lots of conditioning to make it usable. (I guess combining with the Wish clay would even it out ☺)
