I know this comment is old, but don't make it too wet because it will make the clay more likely to crack. Assuming you're using aor dry clay.

Uau...now this is real air dry Clay art! With what do you varnish it? Awesome Nautilus Shell and pangolim. Really well done.

I love your accent and how you say aluminum it's quite different than my Boston accent which sounds like I'm lazy when I talk. I enjoyed this video and the end result is beautiful. Stay safe and God bless XoJaynaoX

Magnificent!!!.. Thx 4 sharing. May i ask about how to paint sculpture smoothly without brush's mark left at the sculpture thanks.

Sometimes it can crack when it’s drying. And from my personal experience if depending on how thick the clay is you can put a wet paper towel over it (after it’s wrung out) for a couple days

@tonyapplebottom7913

You can touch up the cracks with more clay and it's really easy to blend out

@SofiaBue

2 жыл бұрын

Both NeonEli and Tony are right :) You can slow down the drying process (preventing cracks) by draping a damp paper towel, or simply a loose piece of plastic overtop whilst leaving it to dry. The plastic sheet will keep some of the condensation in, making it dry slower and more 'stable'. Should small crack start to form they can be repaired with fresh clay. The sooner you notice any cracks the easier it is to fix them (before the sculpture is fully dry).

aw thanks :) I use water for smoothing, usually with a sponge and a soft art brush. Working on an Air Dry clay tutorial as wee speak, so will be many more techniques included in that one.

As you may know clay takes a while to dry, if you add water How long does it take to dry? Just wondering :)

hello, what you are doing is so beautiful. What liquid do you use around the 3 minute mark? Thanks for your feedback

Hi! I'm new to this and I was wondering what type of hand saw did you use to cut the base? Thank you

is it very hard when its dry...?? can i give it as a gift for displaying and does it brake...??

Any tips on how you deal with the cracks after it dry really sucks when it happens ..

Can you add wet clay to dry clay? And how do you keep it from cracking.

How many days at a time would you say it takes for air dry clay to be completely dry? Thank you

I have some questions. I am new to this but what am you putting on the clay with that brush. And why is my flaying cracking after it is dried

After drying will it dry and be hard

Fucking awesome...!

Goodmorning! Can you give me some hacks for this clay please? Because I try this clay but when it dry, cracks form. Thank you

Will standing snakes be strong enough with air dry clay ?

I takes weeks to finish a sculpt. Can this clay last that long ? Anyway to stop it from hardening ?

Please.inform where it available..

You didn’t give any tips on how to use the clay, which is part of the description in the video :/

Is air dry clay permanent?

Thanks for your comment and question :) My new go-to Air Dry Clay is DAS. It's a little different as it has paper fibers in it. I made a tutorial with it recently: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y4uttpegktO2mdo.html La Doll is another great brand of Air Dry Clay - quite possibly the best! It is, however, also a bit more expensive and not widely available. Hope that helps. Good Luck :)

Absolutely! An armature is essential to most sculpturs, making them secure/stable. Also, if you make an armature (tinfoil/aluminium wires) it uses way less clay.

@Depresso is right - an armature is almost essential and makes sculpting so much easier :) Tinfoil works great. I use a combination of Aluminium wire, Aluminium mesh, and tinfoil.

I’m sculpting a mermaid for a mermaid, and the hair and some body parts are cracking, and I try to seal it up with clay but it’s really just not working, nobody can fix it I don’t understand what is going on I used sculpting clay from Amazon I just bought and I left it out to dry and the next day it cracked I’m no professional

I can’t find this clay anywhere

So...you can not make molds with this type of clay? and why is that?

Think I'll make a shrunken head.

Many of my favorite sculpting tools are actually home made! I'm planning on making a video about this in the future. In the meantime here are a few objects you could try: 1) the thin end of a teaspoon, 2) chop sticks (potentially carved to a better shape, with a hobby knife), 3) popsicle sticks.

Hi :) As this project was made in air dry clay is was not intended to be molded. If I was sculpting in plasticine with the intention of replicating my sculpture, then yes it would be important to avoid sulfur based clay.

ok, its disappointment I came for tips =(
