Clay Along Creations
United States
Приєднався 26 вер 2020
I love God and my family, but my passion is for ART. I dabble in all forms of art, including sculpting, painting, yarn crafts, multi-media crafts, and even a little sewing, but I am mostly drawn to sculpting. My choice of medium is polymer clay, but every now and then I enjoy creating with paper clay and even making some projects with resin. This channel is just me enjoying myself as I create fun pieces out of clay. I will share some tips and tricks that I've learned over the years of sculpting. These tips are things that I had to learn by trial and error, so I'm here to share them with you all to maybe help with your own sculptures if you venture a try at sculpting. So, grab some clay, a little paint, and come Clay Along...

Such a cute design. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌺
@@debbralehrman5957 thank you 😊 i appreciate it
What a beautiful idea. And a lovely execution of it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌺
@@debbralehrman5957 thank you so much 😊
Aaww ... She's adorable 😍 love the hair. Great work on the cane, I've never done one and it looks interesting
@@Crafted_By_Alex you should give it a try… I have been playing with them and I’m coming up with so many interesting things you can do with them… and none of it is earrings lol
I just found your channel, and you are such a great artist! And I subscribed can’t wait to see more clay projects!❤️
@@netamorton4832 oh yay 😀 I’m so glad you’re here!!! And thank you so much you’re too sweet. I just want to share my art and help others appreciate and love clay as much as I do.
What are the eyes made of?
@@robbieseibert1281 they are glass cabochons… you can either buy them already made eyes on Etsy or Amazon or you can buy clear flat glass beads (plain glass cabochons) and paint the eyes on yourself. I do both. It really depends on the look you’re going for… fun fact about using the glass cabochons eyes, they follow you and maintain eye contact wherever you go when you’re looking at them lol 😊
These would be cute to give to nursing home residents. Will try to make these.❤
@@AutumnGold0706 that’s an awesome idea 😊 have fun and happy claying
She's adorable. Little girls everywhere will want one. I'm sure my grand daughter will. She had a Unicorn 3rd birthday party last January. I'm ok hun. Hope you and yours are too. I've been making lots of earrings LOL xxx
@@corinnerichardson9093 aww thanks 😊 well you should try this watermelon cane. It would make adorable earrings for little girls to love. Happy claying my friend
You need to get you a moderator to weed thru the beasts...
@@streetsmartintelligent this is very true and something I’m working on. Thanks
😂😂😂😂 same here, prepping for people...
Hello Jessi, I ran across your channel by just entering clay in youtube, i was looking for a different "type" of clay. Let me start off by saying: We as im sure others feel/felt the same as you by stating IM AN ARTIST, I started in art at age 9, & have not put it down since, as i got older (20's) I had to make a living...art was not doing it. So I took corporate america jobs (hated it but was good at it, made good money) BUT...my heart was still in art. I started to look into Jobs that would hire artists, this was before graphics-digital arts. Worked as a 3D parade float designer, painted large murals for people & businesses, made good money while those jobs lasted. Then started making unique yard art, on & on. But this still was not paying my bills because of its temporary-sporadic nature. Then graphics-digital art came about, it was quick & fast, this is what the world wanted, not a painter, creator of all sorts of mediums, but not having a degree in Art put me at the end of the line as I found out because people wanted a degreed artist so I went to school 4 years & tried to learn graphics I hated it but stuck it out & graduated, even though the institution i went to failed to provide us students the education we were paying for. Now I owe this huge amount for a worthless degree, which I will never pay for something I didn't get. Anyway my instructors saw that I had an exceptional ability to illustrate & the style is called "photorealism", they had said I should move to New York that I could definitely get a job in art retouching of the masters works that there was a demand for it. (Nope I never did), I dont know if its an artists thing or not, but I just didnt have enough confidence in myself that I could do it even though I have (as im sure you have) people whooing & ahhhing over your work. Most people just dont want to pay unknown artists for their art, & they want to know more about the artist & whats the piece called, how did you come up with that name, describe the brush strokes...blah blah blah.. BUT.... if your works in a gallery, they'll pay good money for it. I guess my point is this: All an artist needs is to just get a few followers with deep pockets (of course) that just love your work & only want your type-style of work, once you've got that your in. Another sure fire way to make it big is to get a gallery to carry your work. Marketing-advertising is a MUST at all times along with all this. * Create yourself a website, have some business cards (that are eye catching) so it's not just thrown in a drawer along with all the other business cards. A really good craft show to attend is in Canton, Texas its one of the largest around massive amount of foot traffic, you can camp out there if you have an RV & and there's lodging nearby, you dont have to have a tax ID#, vendors take cash only, & some take credit cards. www.firstmondaycanton.com/frequently-asked-questions Having confidence in yourself, being able to take criticism (they call it critiquing in the art world) in art school its a part of its curriculum to teach one to know how to take it, learn from it & improve. Having a portfolio on hand to take with you (good quality professional looking photos of your work, ready & available to show) Also everything you make always keep one for yourself (to have as inventory to show, but not for sale.) You'll have to make another one for sale. I'm sure you've created pieces just as I have that you just thought looked like yuk, well....people are people what we may not like others love. I've sold things to my standards that were not finished. Dont throw away anything....show it. Bottom line: Dont lose face, keep following your God given talent, keep producing, try different things, keep getting out there amongst art buyers & start to know some established degreed artists most are happy to share what they know & did to get where there at. It's a constant ever changing evolving thing to be an artist, you have to create things that people WANT, not what we like or want, so I had to incorporate my life like illustrations/paintings with a twist, something totally different & unique that no one else has & once it starts selling.....GET IT COPYRIGHTED immediately. A tip for you if you dont already know it...to save you lots of money on copyrights, you can do what's called a "poor mans copyright" (look it up) Hope this helps...
@@streetsmartintelligent thank you so much. This was so informative and I have done hours and hours of research on “how to be a successful artist” and stuff like that but this comment has more AND BETTER info in it than the articles I found online and the videos I’ve watched. I truly appreciate your openness and honesty. This gives me hope and a jumping off point. I am grateful for you taking the time to share this with me. Thanks again and I hope you have an amazing day
@clayalongcreations You're very welcome & I appreciate the compliment.... I've learned A L O T from age 20 to now 65!! Feel free to reach out anytime & keep on truckin...
The painting of the canvas, (if that what it was) was very good .❤ What kept the polymer clay secure before you baked it? Also where did you find this tan looking clay, what's it called?
@@streetsmartintelligent yes it’s an acrylic painting and if you blend the clay to the canvas it pretty much adheres and stays nicely but using a small amount of bakeable medium under the clay can add a little extra security And the clay I’m using is called super sculpey. You can get it by the pound online from Amazon or any craft store. It is the best and most professional clay to work with in my opinion.
New subscriber. Trying to learn to use polymer clay. Thank you for sharing😊
@@IndieAnnieJones1 oh great 😊 I’m so glad you’re here!!! There’s tons of easy beginner friendly projects great for learning here. Enjoy and happy claying
So cute!! What a great idea!! I'm going to try it!

is the pumpkin head on foil orsolid clay
It has a foil armeture
But if you make them small enough they won’t need foil… the foil is only for when they are too thick to bake all the way through
They are so adorable, glad I fell on your video. Thank you for sharing.

I love it, she’s so cute and looks easy enough to do. I think I’ll dig through my clay and she if I have enough clay for it, but yeah, I think I’ll try it. Thanks for another great sculpting tutorial 😊 I’m adding it to my memory banks ❤
Oh great!!! I hope you give it a try… let me know how it comes out… good luck and happy claying!
Naaaahhhhhh this is for kids only + its so sigma If ur reading this, youre sigma too
😊😊😊
I thought I was the only one who felt like you do. You described me to a tee. It's one of those things you can't explain to others. Like you I knew I was very different as a child. The depression definitely comes in waves. I can see beauty in everything and wish others could see what I see. I too can read people. I've hidden my fears and depression from everyone and I still do. When I come out of my depression, I go right back to creating. And YES, I am an Artist, but didn't call myself that for a very long time. I paint and I love sculpting clay. Thank you for sharing this video. Uh...love, love, love Fleetwood Mac's Rumors!! I paint and sculpt to music of all genres. Thanks again!

@@karenmorris5847 oh yay!!! I’m so happy to help… I’m glad you like it and it gives you inspiration. Good luck and have fun
Well said Jess - some recognised 'Art" is not up to your standard. Seriously enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing. x
Thank you so much for always picking me up and being so supportive… you’re appreciated more than I can explain
Enjoyed the video! I feel what your saying, at times I think a lot of artists feel this way, and with the digital age we live in it’s changed the art game so much. Not only are we videographers, editors, marketers, we are artists creating art on top of that. I do believe there is a strong distinction between armature and professional artist, and I believe we can define those two terms in different lights depending how someone is trained, self/UA-cam or academic artist. More recent I believe that people buy the artist, not the art. I’m trying to put myself forward my channel and I’m glad you are also! Keep it up, I enjoy your content! 👨🏻🎨 🎨
Thank you so much. I appreciate the words of encouragement and I agree with you 100%… I haven’t seen your channel on my feed lately. I’ll give you a visit and check out what you’ve been up to. Your art cups were always so creative and fun. It will be nice to see what you’ve been up to lately.
Love them both 🎉🦈🐊
Thank you so much
Love, love their Smiles. Reminds me of the song Never smile at a crocodile' I could listen to your chatting 1st thing in the morning - would set my day. I'll have a chunk of that money too! Thanks for sharing. x
Hahaha!!! I’m glad I don’t annoy you… I tend to annoy myself at times but thanks hun and of if I make some of that shark viewing money I’ll make sure I share it with you
You should call your shark 'Serratus' meaning many toothed in Latin. Those teefs are really scary lol. Seriously though, that's a really cute shark!
Thanks and that’s the perfect name… he will now be called Serratus. Love it!!!
He's so cute! Cool green mix. Is he glow in the dark neon? Thanks for sharing.
No he’s not but that’s a cool idea… the green mix is green Premo clay with some gray firm Cosclay marbled in
Where did you get the EYES?
On Amazon… they are glass cabochons eyes. You can get lots of different sizes and styles. You can also order clear glass cabochons and paint your own eyes on the back to make it a specific look if you’d like
She's great, I like how colourful she is and the year is great for the hair. I think the tool you used for her scales, is called "Etch 'n pearl", I think I have the same ones, I like it's multi purpose
Thanks 😊 and yes it is called etch and pearl. I lose my words all the time but I know what I’m talking about 😂
Love This !! I'm not sure if you've covers this but even after baked can I still add more clay to it afterwards ?? And how do you he rid of Fingerprints ??
You can absolutely add more clay. As a matter of fact it’s better to bake in layers. Start with very basic shapes and then keep adding layers. I’ll have to make a video showing a process of this. And the easiest way to get rid of fingerprints is to use a clean dry paintbrush with baby oil and just go over all the surfaces lightly to smooth edges and wipe away any fingerprints. Great questions… I’ll definitely make a few videos addressing these issues. Thanks
Amazing
Thanks
Omg yes it's all these like two styles of earrings. I've seen miniaturist do fantastic things with it. I love to go the extra step and make beadsthat look rustic, organic and grungy. It's so versatile and really rewards experimentation
I’m so glad you get it 😊 this is a great comment and I’m grateful for your feedback
Esta encantada com tanto talento e criatividade!!!❤👏👏👏👏😍🥰🫶
Thank you very much
My first introduction to polymer clay was a Mokume Gane class and I didn't take to it at all. It was 6/7 years later when I did a flower cane class that I became hooked and made loads of flower buttons. Wish I'd seen your channel years ago as you make using polymer such fun. Great ideas and such lovely charachters. Will have a go at making both creatures and post in Instagram. Thanks for sharing
I’m so glad you like it and in July I am focusing exclusively on a watermelon cane I made and all the cool projects I made with it
💙💙 Love This !! And that Clay blend is Freakin Wild !! 💙💙
Thanks 😊 I had a ton of fun making this one. It was easy and just something I was playing with and I think it came out adorable
Very relatable 🙂
Do you ever feel a similar feeling that being a Christian ostracizes you from the art "community" which brings back that feeling of escaping within yourself?
Yea yes yes!!! This is so true. I do feel this way as a Christian artist. When I posted videos that give a wink to my faith I always lose subscribers and feel misunderstood and out of place
You have great ideas, your crafting is awesome ! But is it really necessary to start your videos with high kicks? This is a craft channel
😂😂😂 maybe not but I was just having fun. I don’t really do that much anymore. It’s really hard to figure out which parts of your personality you should include in your video but don’t worry I have tamed it down quite a bit lately
Awesome talk 👏👏 and I'm happy you brought out the Fleetwood mac vibe, it's filled with emotion and that's what art needs
Yes girl 😊 thanks for watching my friend
❤❤❤
😊😊😊
I recall I loved to make stuff with plasticine in kindergarten, was one of my fav activities, now I wonder if clay creations sell well and this is a first vid I am being offered. I find it uplifting
It is a very fun medium to work with and because it’s not as popular as other mediums it does sell pretty well and if you do vendor events it’s a crowd drawer… thanks
What the heck? You skipped over the rest of making the door! :P :(
I’m sorry… I have perfected it and have new videos out that show the process
@@clayalongcreations Thanks! :) Beautiful work though! I do appreciate the videos!
Wow! Amazing work!
Thanks
These are always so fun and beautiful.. I can't paint like you but I definitely want to give this a go !! Love Your Art 💙🦈
Thanks 😊 I hope you do give it a try. It’s a fun project to do and this is an easy painting. I bet you can do it too
Gorgeous. I have no idea why your channel hasn't grow more because you are funny and creative. You're right about the reality of channels success. Wishing you loads of luck finding that pebble and as always thanks for sharing.
