Thanks! I'm glad you like them! Thanks for watching!

Thanks very much!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Can't wait to see!

Nice job. Great choice of colors.

Thanks! You just made my day!

:)

Since you are a 'crafty' person, I'm sure you will not have a problem doing this! Please let me know how it turns out. Please send a picture to me on my Facebook page facebook.com/ThinkStamping/

That's one of the great things about polymer clay! Some things look very complicated but when you break it down into smaller segments, it's so easy!

+Gayle Thompson (Luv2Clay) did you say in one of your other videos to get the larger of the two core adapters offered on Amazon? I want to order but can't remember which video clarified which one.

No - get the smaller set of the two unless you want to make beads with larger holes in them. I have both sets but normally only use the smaller one.

+Gayle Thompson (Luv2Clay) ok ty! I'm wanting to make some bracelets like the ones you made in your video.

This would make a beautiful bracelet! If you do one, please post it on my Facebook page!

Please do! And have fun with it!

I'm sorry. What kit are you referring to?

To be honest, it's been so long since I did the yellow rose that I don't remember exactly how I did it. I think I did it the same way but added more petals but I can't be sure.

I've thought about putting my canes in my Etsy shop but have not yet. Maybe I'll start doing that! Thanks for your suggestion!

Yes. The 'filler' (or packiing) you put around your design is meant to keep the shape of your design. I usually use translucent unless I've planned to use it as a bead. Then I would use the best color for my design. Translucent is exactly that - translucent - not clear. Depending on the brand of clay you use also determines how clear it is. Some turn yellowish when baked and others don't. In order for it to keep a 'halo' from being around your design when you apply it to another sheet of clay, it needs to be REALLY thin. Try going to thebluebottletree.com/. Ginger has an article on the different translucent clays. Maybe that will help you.

Thank you, I am glad for the Ginger vid. I appreciate so much your showing every step and any problems or situations on the way. This is how one really learns. Vids that make it all seem too simple are intimidating to me. Thank you.

oh, and glue sticks work great! they get rid of creases well as well as rolling on top of a cane to smooth it out. I use the mini one but I'm sure the reg size ones hell also. :)

No it's not homemade. It is a potter's kidney. I don't remember where I got it. I've had it for years. I'm sure if you google it you can find a source.

Gayle Thompson Ok. thank you. I'm sure a pop can would work just as good though lol. I'll Google it. thank you. :)

Sorry but I'm not clear what off-set you are asking about. Did you mean when I was doing the Skinner Blend? If so, I was just thinking while I was working and changed my mind. If it's something else, please explain and I'll try to answer you. Thanks for watching my videos.

What brand of clay are you using? You need a firm clay for this. And - after making the cane, it needs to rest overnight to firm up. A few hours in the freezer will also help. I have a Polymer Cafe magazine that has a Stargazer Lilly tutorial. I'll read up on it and see what they suggest.

thanks for your reply! I am using sculpey III clay. no I didn't rest it :( that was most likely the problem. Any more suggestions are appreciated!

Sculpey III is a very soft, sticky clay and is not good for forming 3D shapes. Besides, after it is baked it is very brittle so even if you could get a petal formed, it would probably break if handled. Try using Premo, Fimo OR better yet, Kato Polyclay! Kato is the strongest but is not easily found except online. I do believe Hobby Lobby carries it in their stores. I order mine directly from Donna Kato at PrairieCraft.com. My 2nd choice would be Kato mixed with Premo. Premo alone is good but it sometimes gets soft when you work with it but not as soft as Sculpey III. Whatever clay you decide to use, it needs to rest after you make the cane. The clay is warm when you work with it which is what makes it soft. Letting it "cool off" helps it to firm up. Let me know if you need any further help. It would probably be better to post on my Facebook page (facebook.com/g0tclay/) rather than here. It is difficult to keep up with Comments on KZfaq. Thanks!

thanks Gayle!

Sorry. I am no longer working with polymer clay due to some health issues. I've sold all my canes and supplies. Thanks for asking though.
