    I learned more from this one video than I have in the multitude of other polymer clay tutorials I've watched over the months...most of the time when people ramble on and on while demonstrating their techniques, I get so annoyed that I need to turn it off, thus ruining my educational experience!! I mainly watch either stop-motion tutorials or looking at step-by-step images through Google Search. because I can not sit through a video of someone rambling for 30 minutes. But you are very engaging and present useful and valuable information for serious, enthusiastic clayers who want to achieve great results. Thanks a bunch!

    That glow in the dark sculpey is so cool! I love the watery color change with the lights off. And I appreciate that you make it look easy--and doable!--and that is so inspiring and fun! The best part is hearing how you accomplish these projects through trial and sometimes error. And showing design choices, texture choices that change back and forth is a clear teaching tool. I really enjoy your videos.

    I've done a few dozen dragon eyes that would work great with this sort of project. When I get back to firing up my eyeball factory, I'll have to try your painting method and glow in the dark clay method. My current eyeball supply consists of very opaque eyes.
    I'm currently cycling through Victorian hairwork, Victorian beaded flowers, and embroidery for the moment.

    @necrodancer1876 4 роки тому

    This is an awesome idea for a sketchbook cover! Though I'd fear that the cover would become too heavy and at some point make the cover rip off. Not sure if I'd make a back to go with the cover and so it would balance out the weight around the book, I'd maybe even make one for the spine so it would keep it strong as well. Endless possibilities for covers! Lol thank you for being my inspiration for a lot of different things that are artsy!

I started taking light switches and painting them, then for my suns room I added a wooden flat dinosaur to a landscape that I painted on his light switch cover. Kinda popped off and I was so inspired. Then I see what you're doing here and that's just a whole new world of awesome I want to get into. Thanks for the inspiration!.
