I love this technique as well! The only thing I do differently ( after the paint is dried) is gently shave the paint off of all 6 sides of the cane with minimal waste. What this does is eliminate the straight lines you get when you put your pieces together to form one large sheet. It does make a big difference and allows you to use all of the sheet and gives it a more authentic stone look. I love the color scheme you used. Very pretty.
Hi! My name is Sherry. I’m new to polymer clay! I’m 53 years old and like you, I was blessed to be able to be a stay at home mom with my two beautiful daughters! Now that they have grown, I need to do something for myself along with making a good income to support myself. Your videos are helpful and inspiring. I will be opening up an Etsy shop once I have received my tax ID. I wanted you to know that I appreciate your knowledge and tips! Thank you!☺️
Hi Kristin, I just found your UA-cam channel and just want to leave a THANK YOU! here - some of the techniques you are showing are wonderful! Thank you!
Your technique is so easy to follow, I've tried the faux marble using regular clay and black paint, but it took hours. I'll be watching more of your videos.
Kristin, I am amazed by this! I’ve never worked with polymer clay, so I had no idea. I would have never thought by looking at those earrings, that that would be the technique. Mind blown. 😍😍😍
It does so much better if you tear the pieces instead of cut them. And then let the paint dry before smashing it into a cane. also before smashing it into a cane and before tearing the pieces put some silver leaf on it. Talk about a beautiful effect. If you have trouble smashing the pieces into a cane just drizzle a little bit of liquid polymer or liquid fimo over the pieces. Also if you lay the slices of the cane on a very thin piece of white clay, it makes the most translucent effect. I have made some beautiful pens like this and they look just like sea glass.
Sounds amazing! Thanks for the great tips! I’ve been playing around with using gold leaf and allowing the paint to dry. Really fun how it changes the outcomes so much!
Hi there! I just found your videos on clay earrings and they are AMAZING! I’m starting my own small shop and you are so so helpful. I have a couple problems I’m running into and figured you were the right person to turn to. 1. My clay is sticking to my acrylic roller. Every time I roll out clay I’m having to roll on top of wax paper because the clay sticks to the roller and messes it up. I’m using sculpey Premo clay. My roller won’t come 100% clean and is kind of foggy looking which I think is the problem. 2. Have you experimented with resin and clay? Would love to see what you recommend with this. If you have a video on these questions I would love to see it!
Love these! I’m also a fan of JessamaTutorials which I saw you got the inspiration from. :) I wonder how safe acrylic paint is in the oven tho… 😳 I hope it’s alright
Question, do you have to die the translucent or can you just use different colors of clay to do this? Just wondering if I have to buy dyes as Ive never worked with them.
Hey I love your videos !! Thank you. Thinking of purchasing your E Book mainly for the colour recipes . How many are actually included in there and which colours? Thanks! :)
@@RaisingNobles Do you only use alcohol ink to color polymer clay? I used acrylic paint on my polymer clay, but the acrylic paint always makes my polymer clay sticky.
Hi! Love your technique and it really helps! May I ask is it okay to have coloured translucent clay (like those from cernit) to replace the inked-translucent clay to have the same effect?
I would think the colored translucent would work well - but I can't say for sure because I haven't tried it. I'll have to add that to my list of videos to make ;-)
What temp do you cook yours at? I usually do 275 for 14 minutes but a lot of people cook theirs so much longer and I'm wondering if it makes a difference?
I bought an alcohol ink from hobby lobby but I see the warning “flammable” do you have to buy specific ones that are bake safe or just be cautious because it’s flammable?
i'm not sure about that, i obviously didn't have an issue with mine and i know many people use the inks in their polymer clay creations. maybe it's flammable when wet? not too sure. maybe call the manufacturer?
I don't understand coloring the translucent clay. When it's colored it just looked like a solid clay. I thought you could see through it even if it's colored.
I have tried twice after watching your video.. did exactly like your blue one, but the pieces were falling apart after baking. should I used some liquid clay to hold them together?
Hi! I’m trying this method, but I’m worried that the paint I’m using will start to mix into the clay (the step around 6:55) Should you just lightly mix it? Or will it not mix in with the clay?
Hi! I purchased the same alcohol inks that you linked below and noticed it says to not have near heat. I tried emailing them but there is no contact information. Have you had any issues with these near heat? I’m just a little nervous because I’m not sure why the instructions say that
When I try this technique my paint and clay cracks, leaving an unsightly look. When I try to smooth the cracks the paint smudges even though it is completely dry, looking even more unsightly. How can I fix this?
I tried this technique with my Cernit translucent and white acrylic paint, however even after cutting and letting the slab to dry for a day, it was still very sticky and the slab crumbled when I was trying to roll it. I am so sad that I tried hours trying to reach the colours I wanted and conditioning that clay... What could be the problem?
@@RaisingNobles I didn’t use any liquid clay actually, just normal translucent, alcohol ink and acrylic paint. Could that be the problem? Or maybe I used too much acrylic paint?
It’s possible its because the paint isn’t allowing the pieces to stick together. In that case, I would suggest adding some liquid polymer clay to your pieces before you make your cane. It will help everything stick better. For some reason some paints seem to do that, I haven’t figured out why yet.
Hi I've have an 2 Etsy shops.. One is a plant shop and is doing very well. The other is a jewelry shop, I have some Palmer clay which I'm starting to add quite a bit more... I started with resin. I'm lucky if I get 7 views A-Week And I've only had a few sales. I think the shop is good, I get compliments on the earrings all the time. I just don't get the views. Hopefully your pdf tells me what to do.. There's an awful lot of competition in the jewelry scene on Etsy. I just don't know what tags to use .
Alcohol ink is extremely flammable BUT polymer clay is baked so far below the flashpoint level that it's highly unlikely it will combust. If you're still concerned, let it dry before placing it in the oven. If you notice, she lets the clay dry before moving forward.
@@RaisingNobles Do you have video talks about how to do great photos for your products? I tried to use a smartphone, but it seems the photos I took through the smartphone are not that attractive.

Why is it so hard to get clay these days? Love you.
Aw thanks! Because everyone is making clay earrings 😆😆 sculpey website is your best bet! I also have a clay kit in my Etsy shop with 5 packs of clay
Kristin, these are sooooo beautiful!! Now I need to order these alcohol inks! haha.
Haha!! Yes! They are so fun to play with!! I’m excited to try some neutral colors next!
@@RaisingNobles ohh please do share either here or in the group!
I just love your videos anyway if I can't find alcohol ink can I used paint instead? Thank you!!
thank you! Paint and alchohol inks are very different
Love them!!!!!
thank you so much!! I love how they turned out too!
I really like your work....plzz tell me what the white thing is?????which u used???

Love these! I’m also a fan of JessamaTutorials which I saw you got the inspiration from. :) I wonder how safe acrylic paint is in the oven tho… 😳 I hope it’s alright
Definitely didn’t know to let the paint dry part that’s super helpful I’m glad I watched this before trying it 😅 this was very helpful
So glad it’s helpful!
They came out beautiful!! Does it also work with non-translucent polymer clay?
Thank you! Good question, I’m not totally sure because I haven’t tried the alcohol inks on other clays, but I do plan to try soon!
I didn't see you use liquid sculpey when mixing your colors. Is it necessary to have liquid sculpey for bonding? I can't seem to find them in stores.
yes I do use liquid sculpey. amazon usually has it
Omg your tips are so great. I was wondering istead of alcohol ink to color the pieces, what else can I use? Will acrylic paint have the same result?
Hey! I don’t think paints would have the same effect at all. Alcohol inks is the only thing I know of that will work likethisc
Thank you very much for this video! The earrings looks beautiful! I wana know if you glazed it after baking?
You’re welcome! I didn’t on these particular ones.
@@RaisingNobles thank you 😀
Do you sand and buff your earrings or do you leave them as they are?
Hello, is polymer clay baked? Did you make these jewelry by baking?
Nice
thanks
Can I ask why you don't leave the paint to dry before you make your cane?
I’m actually staring to watch your videos and I love them but I don’t know how thick the earrings should be in order to not over heat
Does this technique only work with translucent clay?
Hi ,great videos. I don't have alcohol ink, what could be a possible alternative?
Is there any way to make them have a shine?
Question, do you have to die the translucent or can you just use different colors of clay to do this? Just wondering if I have to buy dyes as Ive never worked with them.
You do need to dye the translucent to get this look, but you can get a similar look with colored clays
Doesn’t alcohol ink fade? Could I use watercolor ink?
Hey I love your videos !! Thank you. Thinking of purchasing your E Book mainly for the colour recipes . How many are actually included in there and which colours? Thanks! :)
Thanks Olivia! My eBooks are separate from my color recipes.
Does the paint on the polymer clay always done by alcohol ink as well? The acrylic paint always makes my polymer clay sticky.
I’m not sure what you mean, I think there was a typo?
@@RaisingNobles Do you only use alcohol ink to color polymer clay? I used acrylic paint on my polymer clay, but the acrylic paint always makes my polymer clay sticky.
Hi, I was wondering which of the three greens you used for the earrings in this tutorial. 🙂

Can i use acrylic instead of the liquid you used to color the translucent?
I don’t think that will work. But you can use small pieces of other clay to color the translucent
How heavy are these earrings on your ears? Can you share the setting on the pasta maker for thin earrings? Thanks!
can we use arcylic paints and if we can how bcz it spread when we bake it can you plz help🥺
acrylic paints in place of the alcohol inks?
@@RaisingNobles no no not fir coloring the clay just for marble effect like the wy you used it
Hi please do you cover it when put in oven? Thank you ❤️
No I don’t
@@RaisingNobles thank you dear
What temp do you cook yours at? I usually do 275 for 14 minutes but a lot of people cook theirs so much longer and I'm wondering if it makes a difference?
I do 275 for 30 minutes
I bought an alcohol ink from hobby lobby but I see the warning “flammable” do you have to buy specific ones that are bake safe or just be cautious because it’s flammable?

It doesn’t look like solid clay, it’s more translucent. Like stained glass
@@RaisingNobles thank you so much 😊
Did you coat them with anything after coming out of the oven?
I have tried twice after watching your video.. did exactly like your blue one, but the pieces were falling apart after baking. should I used some liquid clay to hold them together?
Yes! Use liquid clay if you are having trouble. For some reason some paints stock better than others
Should of put resin on them afterwards to make them pop!
Does the white paint smell when you bake the clay?
No it doesn’t
How manu times pass the clay after create the slab?
do you mean how many times do I put the clay through the pasta machine?
@@RaisingNobles yes..but after create the slab..like your designs..
do you HAVE TO use acylic paint? or can you use a cheaper one?
i'm not sure what is much cheaper than craft paint
@@RaisingNobles i mean.. you can use another brand? or is it too risky?
Hi! I’m trying this method, but I’m worried that the paint I’m using will start to mix into the clay (the step around 6:55)
Should you just lightly mix it? Or will it not mix in with the clay?
Yes just lightly mix
Hie what is the name of paint
Hello!! Can I make it with white polimery clay?
you can try, sure! i have never tried though!

hi!! i found that my cane kept cracking? does that mean I didn't combine all the little pieces well enough??
is it because I didn't use the inks?
It’s possible its because the paint isn’t allowing the pieces to stick together. In that case, I would suggest adding some liquid polymer clay to your pieces before you make your cane. It will help everything stick better. For some reason some paints seem to do that, I haven’t figured out why yet.
@@RaisingNobles I'll try again tomorrow before I buy liquid polymer clay and make sure I really coat the pieces with paint, thank you!!
