You can also use it with a wet brush so you can have more control over where it's applies, especially comes in handy on miniatures.

I've been using the liquid Flimo for about 6 months, and I love it. It drys really hard and nothing, (and I mean nothing can move it!). It drys clear and I've used it to coat, fill and to reinforce clay items with no issues whatsoever. You can also mix small amounts of pastel or clay into it and stir it to either a smooth fondant thickness, or leave it chunky. I used it on my Gingerbread House as snow, it looks really good. However, it's quite pricy, and you don't get a lot for your money, however, it goes far depending on what your making. I always turn to it when I'm working clay as it's never let me down.

Thank you for your tutorial!! I would like to ask in what stage we use soft pastels on clay? Before or after baking it? When do we apply it on air clay?

how do you protect the pastels on already baked clay, and what kind of finishes do you get from all the products mentioned or others?.

Tanks for the video i learn a lot from you thank u again! greetings from the Nederlands

What would I use,to protect it from weather, as I plan on mixing pc, omong plants in my outside planters😉

Very well done and a lot of great information thanks a million!

Do you know if you can apply the pastel dust to your sculpture once it is baked? Or does it need to be when the clay is unbaked, because I have a pice that I made in multiple firings that I was going to finish with chalk pastel but wasn't sure if it would adhere. Thanks!

Thank you. I wish I had known about polymer clay when I was younger, but I am so happy I discovered it. I am always learning new and exciting ways to use it. I am going to purchase the liquid FIMO this week, one of the things I want to try with it is image transfer. You just gave me some wonderful tips, I am going to try using pumpkin spice seasoning and see if the wonderful scent sticks around. Thank you.

Looks like a great technique

I would LOVE for you to do the FIMO liquid video sooner rather than later. I have several projects that I am going to do for Christmas and if what I have heard about the liquid FIMO is true I would spend the money to get it. It is so much more expensive than TLS.

Hi Nicole, there are so many wonderful things you can do with FIMO liquid. Basically your FIMO and TLS are the same except that the FIMO is more translucent after baking. Not only can you mix it with caulk pastels to color it but you can also use oil paints, eyeshadow, and powdered food coloring. I have even used different spices(cinnamon, clove, turmeric), instant coffee, and oil pastels. As long as you don't mix it with a water based color there are lots of different things you can use to color your FIMO or TLS. I have even mixed it with sand and baked it, which creates a wonderful effect. You can paint it on to a printed picture and put it in a cameo. After you color it you can even paint with it. In case you didn't know Kato Polyclay sells it own line of colored liquid clay, and Sculpey just came out with gold and silver colored TLS. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me. I've been doing this over 20 years so I'm full of information. Take care, Dee😊

Awesome & Useful Information. Thanks For Sharing

Thank you for such an informative tut!😊 I have been looking for a vid on either acrylic or watercoloring on raw or baked premo. Have you tried that? If not, is it possible? And would u do a vid on it? Thanx😊😊😊

That was very useful. Thank you.

Very helpful.. Thank you!

I just love you tips....100% helpful... I just wanted to know would it work if I mix the chalk pastels in with the mica powder? polymer clay isn't very big in South Africa so you struggle to find a lot of colours this side...

This is great. Thank you

Awesome video!

Hello :-) I was wondering if I have baked something and I leave it to cool down and then when it is ready can i then paint it with chalk mixed with sculpey glaze, I baked a beige colour ornament and was wanting to make it look more brown ?

Hi , I was just wondering to use pastel dust on metal, ,like enamel what would be the best way?

Hello! great vid, thank you - may i ask if you ever add the colour after baking? as far as i know it's fine to do so? pastels seem to be so much finer & 'airbrushed' in finish that i'd like to try them on my miniatures, but i add so much detail in my sculpting, that painting soft clay will destroy it, so i need to do it last after baking, so i would need a nice thin, matte seal or glaze i think ? im so new to pastels haha, THE FEAR! :)

Cindy I have a bunch of Pebeo Silk Paints and would like to ask if you think it would work with polymer clay? I havent tried it yet, but just thought perhaps you may have. thanks for many great tips and advice. xx

I bought some resin dye (color shifting type) pigment by mistake and I was wondering if I could use it on black polymer clay? Originally I thought I could make a paint pigment for plastic models out of it but that was a bust. I hope you can answer this, I can't find anything on it so far. Thank you in advance.

Hi .. thanks for the wonderful video. Very inspiring. If you don't mind , i have a question. So , if i put the chalk into the clay and mix it before baking, will the chalk reduce clay elasticity after baked?

Me Again! Question: When using TLS on baked clay to attach a piece of clay to cover the back of a metal clasp that was baked in, do I need to cure it again in order for the TLS to dry, or will it dry without curing?

Thanks for the information.

Hi Cindy! Love your tutorials. Have you tried pan pastels on polymer clay? I started out with the ones you have shown and then decided to try the PanPastels. I love them! They are a bit more expensive but they last a long time.

How can you remove any pastels from the clay? Ive brushed too much onto a piece, havent baked it yet, and im wondering if there is a way to remove the excess

Hi there, if I want to use it on baked polymer clay on a face I've made, what could I seal it with ?

Can you use this to colour cooked clay? And if so, how do you seal it?

Thanks for the information It’s helpful

Would love to see the Fimo clear and pastels.

I'd be very interested in seeing the FIMO liquid polymer clay video!

Is it possible to blend the pastel into solid unbaked clay for coloration?

good video, I would like to have more info on liquid fimo clay. Thanks

I would love to see the FIMO liquid polymer clay video. Also, you did a video a while back on how the new sculpy pasta machine worked, Can you tell me what you thought about the result. thank you

Could you do a demo of a translucent hollow pendant using liquid clay, soft natural clay, and alcohol markers?

Will outdoor Mod Podge work as a good protective coat?

So you paint the clay while it's still wet? Do ppl ever paint the piece after baking it so you are painting a hard surface?

I'd love to see comparisons done on the translucency of each 'translucent' liquid clay and how they look when finished, as well as how they look with pigments added.

Right! Just do a little test sample and see what kind of coverage you get with the type of chalk pastel you're using, how heavy that you use it, the color of the clay underneath, etc. so you know how it will turn out after it is baked.

Can I use it in air dry clay? I only work with air dry clay. Thanks

PLEASE! That has been a burning question for a really long time for me. I would love to have your expertise in polymer clay with respect to oil pastels! Look forward to ( hopefully) seeing and hearing your results :-)

Great video. Thank you Cindy for all your information and all that you teach me and the many other clay artists out here. I have experimented a little and turned translucent and white clay into whatever colour, using shaved chalk pastels. By mixing it right inside. Depending on the intensity wanted of the colour, I also have tested out other ways to pigment polymer clay, mixed in and baked it with shaved oil pastels, oil paint and in some cases even acrylic paint worked. Oh yes, and pigment ink seemed okay too, but it takes too much to mix in and get a decent hue. I was surprised at all the results. Messy, but then that is the best part about being an artist. :o) I did a simple blog article about it at HeArtfullycreating.

So it is safe to mix it into clay befor baking? Thank you for the video!😁

do you bake the clay then put pastels on them or put pastels on them then bake?

I would hope you can do the liquid FIMO sooner rather than later. I really appreciate your videos and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hi Cindy. I would love to see a test on the FIMO liquid. I really love it but would be interested to see what you think. The best thing I found out is that it actually glows under UV light. I did a tutorial called 'Neon boat' to test it and it does really work. Thanks for the vids as always. Hope you had a great halloween!

Nice video. Thanks for the explanation between the two types . I’m gonna try my hand at clay succulents . I’m a succulent addict 🤣. I have over 200 plants . But I’ve gotten spider mites and Mealybugs. Plus rot and other issues . I want to make them so realistic that one can’t tell they’re clay . Seems that the oil pastels would make the perfect “ farina “ look . Like the waxy coating on real ones . I’ll try both types and see how it goes . Cheaper than acrylic paints and so many color choices . Your creations are gorgeous 😊

Thanks Jayne! I actually don't know since I have not yet tested Derwent Inktense blocks with polymer clay. I would suspect they would be compatible, and it would make sense that they would be more intense than other chalks since they are highly pigmented, but it would be something that would need to be tested to be sure. If you have some I would say Go For It! If not, I would go buy 1 (if that is even possible) and see for your self. Let me know what you find out!

Can you show how to make fairy wings using FIMO translucent liquid clay asap. Thanks, I've learned so much watching your videos.

What about using liquid chalk pens/markers?

You have a large Sculpey bottle of translucent clay? I cannot find anywhere? I think (??) Sculpey discontinued the larger bottles??

I couldn't find the artist's loft soft pastel size kit you have at the Surrey Micheals (yes I'm in the same city as you :)! ) ...and it wasn't cheap either, I only got a small box of 12 colors for $16 dollars, and anything bigger was more expensive, they only had a large box of skin tone portrait colors for around $26, so I'm guessing the rainbow colored one would be the same price if they had it in stock that day. I'll try to check out Langley next time!

PolymerClayTutor Hi Cindy~~~I've used soft pastels on white Sculpey and white Premo clay. The blending was amazing, but after I baked it, the piece remained bendy. Should I have baked it longer to stiffen it up? I made a 1/4" thick flat pendant and baked it for 45 minutes.

If you use pastels on unbaked clay, do the colors change after being baked? Interested in knowing if you have ever used gilders paste on clay? I love the stuff, but no idea if it can be used or baked. Can you use the pastels on already baked clay, and how do you finish/protect the piece after coloring?

Hi Cindy, I love your tutorials and experience. I have a question about my pastels. I notice that they darken/discolor when baked. I do not overbake and follow the baking temp instructions. Ex: I shaded a, soon to be, glazed donut with that bakery golden tan. I was ecstatic with the color and realism but after I baked my donuts, the golden tan turned to a medium brown. The color was totally off and looked nowhere near my original shading. This also happened on my eclair shading. 😥😥Do you have any suggestions as to why my colors darken?

@PolymerClayTutor

5 жыл бұрын

I am not totally sure why your pieces darkened without seeing everything you used and how you did it, but it could be a couple of things. Maybe you used a clay that was quite translucent, so when it baked it actually darkened rather than the powders? Or perhaps the type of powders you used were not heat stable and ended darkening when put in the oven. You will need to experiment with some scrap clay and some different clay and powders, to figure what will give you the end result you are looking for. Another option to the pastels is to consider trying some eyeshadow perhaps in a matt finish. Cheap ones found in the dolor store can work very well on polymer clay. Or you can try things like cocoa powder and spices to shade your polymer clay baked goods. It will also have the added benefit of making your pieces smell nice! 🙂

The video is actually quite misleading. Chalk pastels and Soft pastels are totally different. You may of been using chalk pastels which I suggest not to use. Soft pastels do not create these effects since they're made with mineral pigments. I once had this issue and soon switched to soft pastels which helped out a lot.

@@jesusdag8585 So you're experienced. I have a question, say i'm working on a lot of pieces at the same time while pasteling a few, can i put pastel on and leave the clay for days with the pastel on until i'm ready for baking? I ask because i know they say if you use cornstarch to bake on, to not leave the raw clay in the cornstarch for too long because it will absorb the plasticizers in the clay resulting in it being brittle and fragile after baking. I'm wondering if a modest amount of chalk pastels would do something similar since they're both powder materials.

Hey, can I just use sidewalk chalk to actually color the clay? I want to actually make a colored clay. Is that something good to use? Can I use markers, like expo? I just really need to dye my clay. Also, can you link oil pastels in your reply if you have made it already and it would work for me?
