I LOVE ❤️ your clay creations! You’ve inspired me to start my own clay creations and you’ve taught me a lot about clay. Love you so much! ❤️❤️
You were the first polymer clay artist I started following years ago, & I have to say you have outdone yourself with this one! Definitely one of my most favorites! My oldest child owns a bookstore & many cats so they will LOVE this! Thanks for another great tutorial!
Love, love, love this creation! You are very talented and I might actually try this one out. Thank you!
Love this one! Extra cute! Will make a wonderful Christmas ornament. Would love to see more slightly larger charms like this, to be other ornaments.
You are just SOOOOO good! You make polymer clay look so easy. Doing polymer clay again after 20 years (yeesh, I’m old) bc of your videos! Thank you for all the tutorials!
the colours of the book covers are so pretty!!
Love it! Off to see what colors of poly clay I have floating around in my craft room!

Love this, I’m looking at making some fox polymer clay wedding cake toppers so glad I found your channel!
really nice ideas, I love cats and this might be the cutest!
I love these videos! I’m learning so much. Do you have a video showing how you make the tiny details for the face, like eyes, whiskers and mouth?
Oh my goodness Rachel you are a Genius !! I’m making this kitty for sure ❤
Hi, Rachel, Your polymer sculpts are always fascinating and charming, the cat was cute on the books, glad you added the glasses, and the coloured books were marvellous, the cat looks a bit like a Harry Potter cat as well :)

Love this! My nieces are both bookworms, have to give this a go.
Hi Rachel! I love your Kawaii Bookworm Cat! I’m trying to make my own but I’m wondering if you glazed yours after creating it? Thank you!
Love this design, for some reason the books and the glasses remind me of Harry Potter when I first saw the thumbnail I thought this was a Harry Potter themed charm. Still love it 😍
Oh I'm getting Harry Potter vibes... maybe the cat could have a lightning bolt . Very kawaii!! Thank you for sharing.

I was very tempted to put a scar on the cat when filming!
This is adorable!
Love, love this. Phenomenal talent. ❤❤❤
Another great tutorial! I was wondering if you can make a chameleon charm if possible? Thank you keep coming with these great videos ☺️
I love this!! But HOW in the world do you keep your white clay so clean from fuzzies and hairs and all that?
So cute !! I will definitely try this. 👍 What type of paint do you use for your clay charms?
So cute! 🥰 I love it❤
Your videos are awesome and I would love to see you do something like a dragon or an equine based charm!

This is super cute! Would like to try it! Curious to know if the parts need to be pushed or blended in so they don't fall off?

It is best to blend them on for security and also appearance purposes too. If you are making the piece as just a display figurine, it should be no issue though :)
I love this ❤
Do you still sell any of ur polymer clay charms anywhere? Pls lemme know, you are such so talented and creative, I would be honored to buy a charm from you! 🥺💕
Perfect for my school project!
Fantastico, millones de gracias. Un saludo desde España
cool
Cute
This is so neat! 🤩❤️
Do you use Femo, Premo, Sculpey or something else because my white clay is sticky and whenever it touch it the shape changes.
I love this
how long would you bake something that size? Im still learning and I know its 15 mins per 1/4 inch but do i measuer how tall it is and bake it that long?
Hello just subscribed a week ago and I am loving it. Thanks for all the tricks and tips so helpful. Kathy from Cali.😎
Too cute
where do you get good tools at ?
Hey can you please make and give us some ideas on clay windchimes which actually rings!🌻
What do you do about air bubbles?
Wow my dream was to make charms out of clay! You have made it come true! Thank you so much!!! I have air dry clay from sculpley can you give me air dry tutorials? Please?

Can u make a video for a bookworm owl?? It would be the best birthday gift for me 👉🏻👈🏻
Cute chonkey cat ♡♡
How does each book stick together and not fall off if there’s no glue or pin or anything?
@creativerachy
2 жыл бұрын
Polymer clay sticks together by itself. If I was making a charm, I would use some type of reinforcement, but because this is a figurine which will just be sitting there, it doesn't need anything :)
how can I avoid the falling of small clay parts after baking is there a way other than gluing them with TLS
@creativerachy

You can blend them like shown (with the ears) or use wire inside the clay :)

You don’t have to use popsicle sticks- I was just offering a strategy. And the glasses can be made out of clay :)
