Have you try to see how much different things you can do with cardboard??? 🤩I believe it could be really funny

Hello, gr8 work with clay, but i think you can add lights at the base of the glass to look mystical (just a suggestion not to take it seriously😁)... Also get well soon...🙏

Your Fantasy Goblets look Beautiful, purple goblet - undead, nature goblet - druid, fancy goblet, stone goblet - earth. If I had enough supplies and use one of my mom's old wine glasses and turn them into goblets of chalice that would be an epic challenge for my creative skills. I still love your potion bottle's they both came out Beautiful , 1.Gaia's Tears potion 2. Mana potion If you had a purple (resin or epoxy) gem and turn it into a Sacred Witches Power Potion for Spells and Magic that would go excellent with the witches book. I love both the potion bottles, think of the first potion bottle a very ancient potion that only the sorcerers of life magic only prepare from a sacred landmark. Mana- pervasive supernatural or magical power - a concept of a life force, believed to be seated in the head, and associated with high social status and ritual power. A spiritually powerful, influential and courageous, yet humble. Sorry the brown leftover epoxy trash didn't work I'm sure it'll still be useful give it a new color and maybe turn it into a dragon scale or a earth gem attached to the front cover of an earth tome, or an earth potion that tells time and space like a sands of time from an hourglass. Here's my suggestion about the epoxy resin.. SAND IT. Not just the rough grade, but you have to go up in grit until your basically just buffering the thing. Make the scratches super thin, then finish it with a polishing paste. That's the best way to get clear epoxy. Just keep rising in grits until you get to like.. 3000 grit or 5000 grit. Then you put polishing paste, rub it in and get rid of the excess. Those lines and drippies from adding the epoxy on top? Just sand them to a very fine grit then polish them. Wet sanding helps too! Also, if you want to get rid of any bubbles, either heat or a pressure pot. You COULD use a vacuum chamber, but I've seen that mess with resin before. A pressure pot(about 30psi I believe) will make the bubbles super tiny. Or, you can use a heat gun/lighter to pop surface bubbles. I see those used for thinner projects though, not... epoxy blocks. You can still try the sandpaper thing. Thats your best chance at a clean finish. Check out dice makers or epoxy resin workers here on youtube, a lot of them use sandpaper. Some people commented micromesh, yeah that too! Just super fine grit, because the smaller the scratches the better Hopefully once the Virus is cured we can finally get the tome of water up and ready, keep up the incredible work NerdForge. :)

Nerdforge I know this might be basic, but considering that your resources are perhaps limited I thought it’s be interesting: I’d like to see you make a notebook from recycled materials! I have recently gotten into making recycled paper and used some of your book binding videos to figure out how to make a book, however, your books are so big and grand and there’s no way I could afford doing something like that; but I’m still super interested in book binding and like making little simple notebooks out of my recycled paper. I simply wonder how you would manage to do it and probably mostly how you would decorate it! Much love from Denmark - håber i hygger i karantæne 😝✌🏼

Please make your fourth element book. It's missing in the back of this video.

Ikr If I had a fabulous glass, I would drink my banana milk with much elegance as well

Ditto!!

I have a great goblet and for me it's coke or Ribena.. each to their own.

Sparkling apple cider works wonders for looking fancy ;)

I don't have a goblet. I have a tankard. I drink my orange juice from that monstrosity.

I was just coming to say "liquid sculpy", NerdECrafter always recommends liquid sculpy for attaching clay to other items including cured clay.

I wonder if there's a way to "rough up" the glass before doing that, so it will stick even better. ...Should the Fimo be applied and dried first, or should it be done as you're applying the clay?

@@falcychead8198 You apply the liquid Fimo first, then the regular polymer clay (without baking it in between). Just be careful with the amount of liquid Fimo you're using, if you use too much, the regular Fimo might not stick and slide off the glass instead.

Brianne Flett YES! Hello fellow grain!

I've seen other crafters use epoxy sculpt. Maybe that would stick to glass better?

@@MitzW. didnt Martina use blue on Air one??? or there was more grey???

@@MitzW. if you check video of making book of air, you will see that it is mostly blue with silver/grey elements. I notice that book behind them, but it looks way darker then in making video...

@@MitzW. i think it will also be blue, but darker shade. Or maybe aquamarine blue, between blue and green, that would be awesome.

Hi guys, I've come from the future, which is now the present and soon will be in the past, just to tell you : yes. it's blue.

Yup. I just got totally excited to try this (I've got a ton of clay) and then reality slapped me upside the head. "Yeah, right, you talentless hack."

Now's your chance!! Now is *our* chance!!!

I know right

Hey if this interests you, try it! They’re obviously talented, but a lot of their success is also from practicing and experimenting. The first few things you make might not be the best, but the crappy art project is better than no art project in my opinion. As an added plus, the glasses they’re making don’t use as much specialized supplies or knowledge as some of their other projects. Hope y’all try it💙🎨

Lol

I used to use hand sanitizer to smooth the surfaces lol, maybe not the best to use in the current situation though

Wearing rubber gloves while you work does the trick too.

Yeah sure 😂 where you can find alcohol now? But it's a good a idea when Corvid-19 finishes.

Putting a sturdy paper like the paper that comes inside a box of cereal over the clay, and smoothing it with your fingers will help with lumps and dents and fingerprints.

@@mariaflorenciaalvarez1926 Corvid-19...I just saw this flock of black crows picking at bodies in the battle field...yes...It's the Corvid-19...

Now that's how you do milk and cookies with style!

a funny thing is, I looked at these sort of goblets on sites that sell them sometimes and in the reviews, I often found the comment 'very good glasses but very fragile, these are better for decoration purposes than drinking' :P

Same, laundry is sitting behind me in a clothes basket taunting me

Madi T. Same, I should be cleaning the house but I had to watch this and now I have a great project to start soon!!

@@MakatoAhane I hate folding laundry.. That's next for me after I watch this and clean the house...

Well shit you got me 🤣

Reading ain't lame!

This isn't a plague. The numbers aren't nearly that bad. It is a bit worse then the flu, but that is about it. Numbers in most countries are inflated as not enough people are being tested. And even if some folks die to this disease, they could have died from something else as well in most cases...

@@Nozdormu1982 Stop playing this down. Don't liken it to the flu. It's not the same. We need time to prevent overload of our healthcare system as much as possible. There is much still left unknown and we need time to research.

​@@amara560 I am very much aware that it isn't the same. I am part of the group of people who already warned about this virus in januari. In fact I am what you call a prepper. Back then I was a strong advocate for containment, but China failed us. Now that the virus is out of control and it is out of control, I say let it do its thing. Even if the worst happens we will still end up with billions of humans who end up surviving this thing. As for time to research. I am not seeing it being used properly right now. Lack of testing worldwide means less accurate data. All we see is the dead and high numbers at that. Actual numbers of those infected (which includes those with mild symptoms) are barely if at all available. Germany and Korea come closest and looking at those numbers... I am not worried in the slightest. People are to scared easily. Don't be. If you are healthy you might get sick, but you will survive (most of the time anyways).

@@Nozdormu1982 That's just a reckless risk with millions of lives on the line. We might need just 2 months to find medication that will work well, to find a better way to stop this. You don't want only people with corona to die, you want others who need intensive care beds to die. You want bodies to pile up in the funeral homes (we're there already). It can get much, much worse than it is now. There are people in Italy without a job, without money, who are more and more resorting to stealing just to get some food. You advocate for pure anarchy. Maybe you live in a mountainside home self sufficiently, good for you. But that's no reason to wish death and other horribleness on others. Shame on you.

@@amara560 I wish to prevent something far worse. Another great depression, which happened for the last time in the previous century. Another great depression will cause more suffering and more death then this virus ever will. You already pointed out the first glimpses of it. Italy is already showing the first signs of where we are all headed. Also I am not against containment, but for that to work banks would have to dissolve 50% of the debt that governments currently have. This will allow governments to properly support all companies that are affected by this and prevent a depression. So no. I don't want anarchy. I want to prevent something far worse, but at this rate we will be headed right into another depression and followed by it another world war.

Wait I think I still have clay... well gonna go search for a wine glass next :) now I’m inspired too :)

Haven’t finished watching yet, but they mentioned epoxy, so i assume that will keep it from being destroyed, so long as you’re not like, vigorously scrubbing it? But yeah don’t put them in the dishwasher Edit: Alright looks like they’re mostly just using the epoxy glue to keep things in place... I really think a thin layer of epoxy resin would keep it safe (although it might slightly damage textures?). It wouldn’t even necessarily have to be fully food-grade since it’s on the outside, just non-toxic!

It's coming.. veery soon!

@@Nerdforge can't wait!
