This one is so pretty, now, I need some metallic clay! I forgot to comment on the last one the black and white extruded one and I think that's going to be a favorite for me too, it's so much fun. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, I think that is what I love so much about playing with clay, everyone is so sharing and so caring about helping each other. I really don't know what new stuff I'd like to see you do, I just enjoy it all very much and love to see how they all come together. I guess it would be canes mostly, they are so fun to put together. By the way, you sound a lot like my Mom, maybe a little more southern, but quite a lot like her. She was from Missouri, so it's kind of like being in her kitchen watching her cook and listening to her stories when I listen to you. Thank You! :)

+Gayle Thompson (Luv2Clay) Hello again, I know you are asking for ideas on what to make. I get my best ideas from watching other artists channels. Then I do what they are not doing. If you've spend any time watching other channels then you'll agree that we really don't need any more tutorials on how to make a cupcake, ice cream cones, or anything Starbucks, 😆LOL. Doing the things that no one else is doing, or even coming up with a list of things that you haven't seen done and then asking your subs which of these things they want you to do is a good start. Because many times your subs don't know what they want to see because if they are new to clay then most likely it's something they have never seen or heard of before so they don't know to ask for it. Know what I mean? So my best suggestion is look around and do what you don't see done. I hope this helps, Take care, Dee 😊👍

I just love your tutorials and the egg is beautiful. I have a hard time keeping my things from breaking and I saw on one of your videos that toaster ovens sometimes don't heat the clay at the same temperature all over. I believe you said you use a convection oven and I looked on eBay for one and they cost anywhere from $30.00 to $500.00. I can't afford anything near $500.00 and I was wondering if you might suggest what ovens you would recommend. Also, are you familiar with the NuWave ovens and do you think they might work? They are a lot cheaper than the other convection ovens on eBay. Thank you! I just found you a couple of weeks ago so I've only seen a few of your videos so I look forward to seeing them all!

@Mimismarketva

Thanks for commenting! I'm glad you are enjoying my tutorials. I wouldn't consider an oven on eBay. My oven is a Hamilton Beach convection oven and I think I paid about $70 for it at either Target or Walmart. I've had it for about 6 years now so it has been good money spent. I don't know much about the NuWave but I've seen reviews about it and I don't think they were very good with clay but I can't be sure. What type of clay are you using? The cheaper clays (Craftsmart, Sculpey III and the like) don't hold up well. Sculpey III is pretty brittle when baked even if baked at the correct remperature. If you are using a toaster oven and can't get a convection oven right now, invest in a good oven thermometer. Don't put anything in the oven except the thermometer. Turn your oven on and watch the temperature. It may heat up pretty high and then cool off to the appropriate temperature. If that happens you can preheat your oven until the temp levels out and then put your item in and start the timer. The longer you bake your item the stronger it will be as long as the temperature is correct. I hope this helps. Let me know what you do!

Hi Gayle, I'm so glad to have found you! While in my studio today I spent most of the afternoon with you😊! I am most interested in seeing you demonstrating canes...as many as you can.

@Mimismarketva

7 жыл бұрын

I did the egg at a sanding and buffing workshop so the instructor brought sandpaper and a Foredom buffer. BUT since then I've used the same technique using wet/dry sandpaper in several different grits. I usually start with a 360 grit then move to 600 gr, 800 gr, 1000 gr, 1200 gr and 1500 gr. I also have 2000 gr but only use that if I want to make sure it has really smooth. Then I polish with a dremel with a homemade buffer. I took some white felt and cut about 12-15 circles about 1.25" in diameter, punched a small hole in the middle and layered them on a nail. I pushed them down firmly to the nail head then put the pointed end of the nail in my Dremel and tightened. I use a variable speed Dremel and start at a slower setting. If you use a high setting, it will heat up the clay and the clay will become dull again! So start slowly and buff all over moving the buffer at all times. Don't let it sit on any area or it will over heat. I've been happy with the results. Hope this helps.

I prefer Kato Polyclay but work mostly with Premo on my videos because it's quicker to condition. I don't glaze often but when I do, I usually use water-based Varathane although I have used Sculpey Glazes a few times. When I want a satin finish, I use Kato Liquid Clay. I know you can use a heat gun to make it a glass-like finish but I usually heat it too long and it gets bubbles! I still prefer the Varathane.

No - I haven't put clay on a wine glass. I've seen others do it but haven't done one myself. That might be a good subject for a video! Thanks!

What kind of egg did you use. Wood, plastic, real eggshell? I have this tutorial saved because it is simple but leaves a beautiful design.

This is a real chicken egg that has been cleaned. I put small beads thru the hole before I covered with clay so it sounds like a rattle. Thanks for asking.

Great idea! The egg looks fantastic! You told to put some pictures at the end of this video, but I think you've forgotten. Can I see them somewhere else? Kind regards!

This was so long ago I had to watch the video to see what I said! Sorry I didn't post pics of things I made from extruded "ropes". Here is a link to my Flickr Album that has them in it. flic.kr/s/aHsjzHgVHT

Thank you for providing that link. I love the pinch pot. I am slowly working my way through your videos. I hope you have one of how to make the pinch pots. If not, maybe you could make a video some time in the future.

It looks like yarn fooled me

Teach the elements of cane making, please.

Right now I'm using a Mercado (Atlas) 150 with a motor but I have pre-ordered the new Lucy Clay Machine which should be shipping in another month or so. I can't wait to try that one! It will have the ability to use my electric drill instead of a motor! Brilliant!

First time on this channel and I have to say: You sound like Treetrunks from Adventur Time, that's so adorable! 😍 Would you mind make an apple pie tutorial? That would be so awesome! Thank's 🤗

Do you mean an apple pie charm or something like that? I'm neither a sculptor nor a miniaturist. I don't know if I could do it. If I can figure it out, I'll try.

Gayle, in another of your videos you said the egg was plastic you used, is that like a plastic Easter egg? I would have thought it would have melted in the oven.

@Mimismarketva

Yes - I have used the plastic easter eggs - the cheap ones - and have had no problem. However I would let them cool in the oven and not handle them until they are completely cool just in case they get soft. I've never had one collapse on me. Thanks for asking!

I got them from another artist that was doing a Destash but you can probably find them on Etsy or aBay.

I Gayle, I'm Heather from Sydney Australia. I recently just purchased a necklace made of polymer clay from eBay . I'm in love!!!! Now I've been watching u tube videos on making your own jewellery. Please can you do a video on how you make earrings etc

Sorry but there is no video on how I made the egg. But I used the same process as the pill box. The only difference is I rolled the surface smooth after I applied the clay to the egg. I did the egg about 10 years ago. Thanks for watching!

🙋🏼Hi Gayle, I just now found your channel. I was wondering, how long have you been working with polymer clay? Do you know who Jack Johnson is? If so, have you ever tried to make creations like he makes? If you don't know who he is in the polymer clay world, you should really take a look at the things he creates, they are incredibly detailed. I've been working with, selling, and teaching polymer clay for over 20 years now and I'm always excited to meet other artists that work with polymer clay, like yourself. I feel like we all become better artist when we come together and share our experience and ideas. I am subscribing to your channel and I look forward to sharing ideas and info with you. I love your video and your creations. Take care, Dee 😊👍

Thanks, Dee! I feel like I should know you! I've worked with polymer clay since the year 2000 when I saw it on the Carol Duval Show! There was a local guild just starting in FL and I became a charter member. I joined NPCG (now IPCA) and served as VP Membership until my life took a turn and I had to quit claying to care for my Mother. I participated in the planning of the very first Synergy conference in Baltimore! I had to move back to VA so I could get some help with my Mother and found some clayers here to "play with" occasionally. Mother has been gone for over 3 years now and I finally have gotten back to claying. I intend to start a guild in my area soon. I'm afraid I do not know Jack Johnson but I will certainly look him up. I'm always anxious to find new artists and techniques. Thanks for subscribing! I hope I will meet your expectations!

+Gayle Thompson (Luv2Clay) the reason we may not know of each other may be because we are on opposite coasts. Plus I have never joined any of the polymer clay groups. I started to really focus on my clay work back in 1994. I started buying up every book, video, etc... I could find on the subject. I also bought and used every brand of clay, glaze, and anything else associated with polymer clay to expand my knowledge. In the mean time I sold my creations in craft shows all over Southern California and started teaching classes in my home. Eventually I started teaching clay in my local Michael's and then Joann's craft stores. I make art dolls, jewelry, cake toppers, mixed media, and much more with polymer clay. Jack Johnson makes incredible art dolls and create the clay called ProSculpt, maybe you e heard of it. I've been trying to start a You Tube channel for the past 3 years, but life has gotten in the way. However, I am hoping to do very soon..........

+Gayle Thompson (Luv2Clay) In the mean time I have subscribed to and shared ideas and information with as many polymer clay artist that I can find on You Tube and the Internet. The one thing that bothers me is when some artist on You Tube give out bad information about polymer clay. I mean artistic styles differ but there are basics that need to be followed for creations to turn right. I mean the kind of info that that will make a beginning artist want to quit. An example is when they glaze their creation with clear nail polish. I don't know how many comments I've seen where people can't understand why their creation got sticky or broke. They see someone they think knows their stuff, but the truth is they really don't. I love to encourage new artists and I don't think you need lots of expensive tools to do it. This is what I teach in my classes. If you can make a ball and a rope out of clay, I can teach you to sculpt.This is why people appreciate the detail you go into in your videos.

+Gayle Thompson (Luv2Clay) Your subs don't have to guess what to do or how to do it because you explain things so well. I hope you don't mind if I occasionally add my two cents. I love to help and give people as much info as I can. Anyway, this has been one large comment, you probably think I'm a crazy person, LOL 😆😄. I'm really not, just enthusiastic about what I do. I'm glad I final found your channel and I look forward to sharing ideas and info with you. I would love to see you make canes and use them on some kind of project like a frame, or a vase. Creations you can give as gifts are always a good thing. It's nice to meet you, take care, Dee😊👍
