Awww, thank you!

Thank you 💛

That’s so sweet. Thank you 😊

Pop cans do work well. Not sure I need them, though. You can dome smaller pieces on the glass thing I’ve got, too.

Thank you

I also work on paper, depending on what I’m making. In this instance, paper would not have been a suitable surface, as I was cutting the shape by hand and it needed to adhere to the tile.

Awww, thank so much!

😂 the struggle is real Thank you 😊

Thanks very much!

Awww, thanks! Hahahaha, we gotta be mess b’s 🤣

Im speechless….thank you so much ❤️

If you’re not using metallic or pearlescent clays, the shine isn’t going to be so vibrant. Other than that, I couldn’t tell you what you might be doing differently.

Thank you so much. ❤️

I could’ve sworn I added it! Anyway, it’s there, now. Thanks for letting me know!

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them at the dollar store and Hobby Lobby’s candle section. I do have that doming metal tool that has different sizes.

Thank you! Yes a pasta machine, but I use an Atlas 150. It’s listed in my Amazon storefront, linked in the description.

No, it wasn’t crumbly because of the mica powder, and I didn’t add too much. The clay was old, and already crumbly. No, it wasn’t brittle when I had baked it, it was slightly flexible, as it should be.

In actual fact, it was the backing clay that I said was ‘dry and old,’ and that didn’t even have any mica powder in it. You can clearly see that the clay with the mica powder in it, is soft and supple with it being conditioned to mix in the color…

I’m actually not sure where you got the info that mica powders ‘dilute the plasticizers.’ I’m pretty well versed in the function of polymer clay, and the Blue Bottle Tree has been my Bible for years. Just FYI, this was on Blue Bottle Tree’s site: NIKA FEBRUARY 24, 2019 AT 2:38 PM I use Premo Gold for lots of things, including mica shift. I was wondering if you can further enhance the effect by adding more mica powder to the clay. Does that help with the image? Will it enhance the effect but make the baked clay more brittle? I’d appreciate hearing from someone who has tried this. GINGER DAVIS ALLMAN FEBRUARY 25, 2019 AT 8:47 PM You can add more mica, yes. It shouldn’t make it more brittle. (Well, it will if you add so much that the clay is too stiff for the powder to mix in adequately. I have created mica/pearl clays by adding mica powders to trans many times and it does work. But it doesn’t always give a good mica shift effect. It’s not the density of the mica that matters, it’s the size of the particles. And Premo gold already has very good mica shift effect.

@clayboutique Just my opinion, based on what I saw. These are comments, and I'm sure you've gotten a few that were way more negative than mine. You put a lot of energy into defending your process here. Maybe you could just dismiss what you don't agree with? It might bring you a bit more peace. If you're satisfied with your work, that's all that matters!

I’m totally satisfied with my work, but you didn’t give your opinion, it was a statement. It was a false statement, at that. You’re assuming I saw your comment as a negative - I didn’t, but I felt a full explanation was necessary, to which you seem offended. Misinformation needs to be corrected, especially as how there are so many beginners watching. Correct, this is the comment section. People comment, I respond. Would you have liked it if I totally dismissed you? I guess I can’t win, either way. Have a blessed day!

Yes. I said so in the video, and I showed what I domed it on, too…

@@clayboutique sorry I missed it. Half the time I had to turn the video on silent. I'll rewatch it

I say in all my videos what thickness I roll the clay on my pasta machine.

Yes, please do 💕

@@clayboutique thank you

Thank you

Properly cured clay SHOULD be flexible, otherwise it will be brittle and snap. As a rule of thumb, I bake longer than what it tells you on the package, usually an hour, and not lower than the temperature that is stated on the package. Check your oven temp with a thermometer. Under cured clay will break.

@@clayboutique I thought that the longer you baked the clay, the harder it became???

I answered your question. Read the link I posted to you. Flexible doesn’t mean soft.

Ribbon and cord necklace. Link in description in my Amazon storefront.

@@clayboutique thanks I've been looking for it.

Did you find them?

@@clayboutique not yet

Hang on…

Oh, please don’t worry about it. I don’t really like asking for money, but it’s not free for me to do these videos, so every little helps. You’re supporting me, just by watching! Thank you ❤

That’s weird. There isn’t any way I can delete people’s subscription,so either it was a KZfaq glitch, or you accidentally did it…
