Hi Gail- I have to say this one definitely looks like a monster ! But it looks like it has a lot of functional abilities. ❤ hope you’re well. And taking care.! Currently I am working a lot with translucent clays as they fascinate me. Have you ever done any projects with translucent clay?
@GailJonesPolymerClayКүн бұрын
Hi Ellie, yes this one does, but I wanted to add the tissue blade pot & I think I've got it right now. Love making these, I always use them, but I can't make many more as I'll have no where to put them haha. I am well Thank-you! I hope you are also. I love making anything with translucent, have you used it with alcohol inks? I did a tutorial with that an plastic wrap. My favourite technique! Take care! 😊😊

Wow, what a gorgeous steampunk horse. I know you sped it up to save time, but I found it a bit frenetic. I would have really loved it a bit slower, with a voiceover by you (instead of music). In spite of this, your talent is so apparent. Gorgeous art.

Thank you so much for the compliment, and what a lovely way to offer feedback. So kind. My videos often take a week to do, so it is difficult to have all of the details in there without the speed, but I understand. I am considering voiceovers, but they do take so much longer to edit, unfortunately. There is a feature on YT that you can slow it down on the bottom right ( I believe) of the video.

Wow I dont think I have ever been first to put in a comment before. But here is my opinion anyway. I think you did a great job. His feet are great. He is proportional. That seems to be half the battle. And bird feet are usually not very pretty. He turned out great. Love the branch too. I think the use of all the different mediums helped also. Some things are just boring when people try to do them with just one medium. Your guy is anything but boring. Be proud. Hes awesome!!

Hi Gail, this video popped up in my feed at about 9 PM Vancouver time. I have to say this is one of my favourite things that you have made. I love the colours and the quirkiness of the wall hanging so fantastic. I wonder if you could string it a different way maybe add some knots or whatever? anyways that was just my thought on that I absolutely loved the napkins you chose and the colours as I said earlier, it is so rustic yet very pretty I love it ! ❤❤❤ at first I wasn’t sure what you’re doing as I have seen a napkin technique where they put the napkins onto the clay colour down and bake it and once baked they soaked the paper off, and the colour stayed on the clay, but your way worked great.
@GailJonesPolymerClay23 күн бұрын
Hi Ellie! I always wonder what time and where people watch from, but it seems odd to ask in a comment, I remember you said Vancouver - it must be a beautiful place, I am about 2 hours from London, small town, lots of trees 😆 yeah, I thought about knots way too late, when they were all spinning around 😆 I also realised too late that to transfer the picture fully on to the clay was to out in upside down, but as I glossed it, it came out OK. I'll remember this for next time 😅

Yeah, they are bathroom tiles! I have a large one and several mediums and then small ones. They are so good because alot of what I make is flat & can't be moved during the making process, very inexpensive, it's the size of your oven which will determine what the biggest size you can go for 😄 thank you for watching all the way from the US! 🥰
