Hi Debbie, really enjoying your videos. I was lucky to be one of your recent students over in Melbourne and I'm loving learning even more of your techniques. I'll have to break out the chalk collection soon. Keep the videos coming. And yes Wasabi is a very cool colour. Laura. PS I love your blog too.

Hi, Debbie, another great tutorial! I made my own homemade stamp a little differently: I created a solid tubular “snake” of polymer clay using my clay extruder (with a round hole opening), and then shaped the raw clay snake as I liked. Since it’s not hot glue, you have a lot more control over the final shape, especially if you want to have wider portions and narrower portions in the stamp. I then baked the shape, allowed it to cool and then glued it to the wood block. It worked very well in making a deep enough impression in raw clay to do the shaving as you demonstrate. As this was my first attempt, the shaving step didn’t go all that smoothly. In your video, did you use a rigid blade or a flexible one?

@debbiecrothers1

thanks heaps AR. That's a great way to create a unique stamp! It's nice to make something you know is a one-of-a-kind - well done. I love some of the random squiggly bits the glue gun creates - always been fascinated by that - just a different look. Now I can't remember if I used my rigid blade or flexi blade but normally I would use a flexi blade for this technique - I find it works a bit better for me. Have a great day. x

excellent!

Firstly, wow! looks fantastic, one question, is it safe to use a pasta machine for actual pasta after its been used for clay if rollers get a wipe and maybe run some scrap pasta dough through a few times first? Greetings from Ireland BTW!

@debbiecrothers1

5 жыл бұрын

hi Shane, many thanks for your comment and greetings from Down Under! You know I probably would use my pasta machine either only for clay or only for pasta - I wouldn't combine the two. The reason being, I know it's incredibly easy to get very small particles of clay stuck in the nether regions of the pasta machine and this wouldn't be ideal getting transferred to your pasta dough!! It could look pretty but wouldn't be good to eat I would imagine. You can get pasta machines pretty cheap these days so perhaps invest in one for each :)

Hi your work is awesome .... do yo bake the clay after you apply the caulk or is it air dry clay ??

@debbiecrothers1

Hi Judy, so lovely to hear from you and thanks for your comment. This is polymer clay so it's cured after the piece is finished. Normally I would turn a veneer into a bead or pendant etc then cure. Have a great day Judy.

Wow! New subscriber here. I just looked at your Flicker page. What gorgeous work! Have you done a tutorial on making the tube beads? I'd love to see all the techniques you use with those... they are wonderful! Thank you.

hey there, thanks so much for your lovely comment. I haven't yet done a tutorial on the tube beads as I've got a few workshops coming up with the tubes as one of the projects. I'm sure I'll get around to doing a video class on them in the future. Thanks again.

Lovely. Can you show some of the things you use your venires for?
