So much fun to watch. Thank you for all of the great tests. Gives us loads of information to help with our craft art decisions. So many ideas generated but you asked about the little bird. I think it would be cool to design a tree out of the clay (flat on one side) with lots of branches and add all kinds of different birds in shapes and sizes. You could wrap it up around the top of a door. Could be an actual front door of a home or as a fairy cottage door. Thank you again.

@tiabeaniesemotionalsupportdmon 10 ай бұрын

As far as the piece that broke off, maybe having a little amount of wood glue/clay/water mixture to use as slip to attach the pieces together before they dry will work. If a piece breaks off after it’s dry, wood glue should do nicely as a fixative.

@RedRockingBird 10 ай бұрын

Yes wood glue or the DAS white glue works great at fixing it back together, I just made this piece to show you that it’s better for form/mold/sculpt the clay into a shape rather than attach it together with the score and slip method that I show in my regular air dry clay videos, so I wouldn’t therefore make a slab pot from DAS wood as the joints are not as strong, thank you, have you tried this clay yet? ❤️😊

Thank you! I’ve never seen any but I’ve heard about it. Say I use it in a mould to apply to frame while wet( I have withe regular air dry clay) will it crack and fall off?

@RedRockingBird 10 ай бұрын

Hi Margaret, oh you’re just the BEST. I would mould the clay, leaving it to dry on the frame so that it dries in the right shape, then once fully dried I would add some white glue, like in the video and then let it dry, I hope that helps and you agree. So far I have not had this clay crack on me, so it’s a real winner from that point of view. I’m going to have to make more of the little birds and every time I make something my mind always veers towards birds 🐦🙈😂😆❤️ thank you
