Thank you so much for your kind words! We appreciate your feedback.

I hope you give it a try 🙂

great tip!

you could even build your own shape with a strip of cardstock (from a drink/milk carton is perfect) or aluminum from a can.

Thank you so much 😀

thank you!

This is pottery clay. For a square piece you can use an empty picture frame (preferably wood) to cast into.

No, i find that isn't necessary. If they get a bit dusty you can just rinse them off under water and they're good as new.

Yes, absolutely, that would work very well.

Oh, yes, please

my pleasure

Thank you for your positive feedback and support! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Regarding creating grand tour intaglios, here are some ideas for you to consider. You can start by researching different intaglio techniques and materials used. Experiment with different designs and subjects for your intaglio prints. Don't be afraid to play around with different color combinations and prints unique. Good luck with your creations! Keep up the great work! ️❤️

This is powder natural pigments like you would use to mix your own paints, but you can also use gouache or acrylic paints if you dilute them very well in the water before adding the plaster.

CreategoodFX- YES! I WAS WONDERING THE SAME ABOUT WHAT TYPE OF PIGMENTS WERE USED.

it's clay meant for ceramics, so if for some reason it sticks to the plaster, you can simply rinse it off with water. Maybe wait a little longer to unmould it and see if that helps?

@@botanopia Thank you for your reply. I ran two experiments yesterday with the same results. For others that may have the same issue, the clay I use is oil-based modeling clay so I think the heat from the plaster is softening it - but too much. It’s extra soft clay so maybe I should use stiffer clay. Also I have one other that I’ve left overnight so we’ll see if I get better results. Thank you again!

you can see in the video, i barely wait until pouring the next color, just time to mix and pour the next colour basically

Just embed a little loop of string or wire in the back of the plaster before it sets, so you can hang the piece up on that loop after it's hardened

I'm not sure what gypsum is, I use plaster of Paris because it works for me and is widely available and affordable in my region.

the plaster is naturally very white when dry, you don't need to add paint. I guess you could maybe paint on top after it's completely cured but I've never tried. If you want the white to be more contrasted i'd suggest using a darker color for the background plaster instead.

Sí, ella lo dice varias veces durante el vídeo. Cualquier arcilla, y se puede reutilizar.

спасибо!

if all your plaster mixes are not setting properly, no matter what pigment you're using, then ... it's your plaster. Plaster powder has a surprisingly short shelf life and get affected by humidity. I recommend getting a new bag, from a store that has a high turnover of plaster to make sure you get a fresh batch. I've not tried acrylic paint, but I've always had good results with powdered pigments, diluted gouache and alcohol-based inks for colouring.

Thank you!!

The plaster will get harder as it cures completely, so you could try waiting a couple of days before brushing the clay off. And you could also try to use a synthetic plaster instead, that casts very hard. I've used this one in the past for another project and it's much less brittle than plaster of pairs for the same thickness. formx.eu/molding--casting/gypsum--cement/gypsum--plaster/plastercast-hard---5kg.php Lastly, it's a delicate job, perhaps your brush is too hard, or you need to be more gentle when rinsing off the delicate details. You can also choose leaves that have more prominent details so the stems would be thicker and less likely to break. Have fun!

You need to use pottery clay specifically, as we show in the tutorial. It lets you dissolve the leftover clay bits easily after releasing, and also has the perfect consistency for capturing details. Don't use play-dough or things like polymer clay or plasticine.

Hi, can you use das clay?

I didn't, but you sure can if you're afraid of the release of the plaster. Vaseline also works, or a strip of baking paper along the edges.

Ok thank you, so, you dont put ether oil on the clay before you do de plaster?

You could, but fake flowers are usually a lot less beautiful and detailed than the real deal, plus i'm guessing they're more likely to stick to the clay.

Yes, please. I want to know, what plaster is! Thanks

the clay is just... potter's clay. Doesn't have a brand.

You can easily increase playback speed to 1.25/1.5 etc.

that's a great tip, thanks for sharing!

I would love to know this as well

@@loraallison1425 Yes, I get frustrated when an artist goes fast and you don't have a chance to catch names of products.

This is pottery clay, very inexpensive.

@@Cooleemeegirl Did you know you can slow down, pause and rewind any video on youtube? Might save you the frustration. This is pottery clay, very inexpensive.

I think air dry clay won't have the right consistency and will dry out too fast, and be hard to rinse out. This is pottery clay, very inexpensive.

@@botanopia I used air dry clay when I first tried this technique because that's all the clay I could find at my local art store. Air dry clay is too firm to press delicate plants into, but you can do it with more robust plants. However, you have to pour your cast immediately after you make your impression because the clay contracts as it dries, leaving your composition a bit wonky.

sorry to disappoint, I'll let my entire production team know you were not impressed 😂
