Hi Gail, wow another beautiful tutorial! I was wondering, if maybe you should have glued the mirrors in after rather than not curing the clay at the proper temperature? I’m not an expert, but I do believe that curing at a lower temperature for a longer period would not cure it properly? nonetheless, being a larger item (and not a jewellery piece) maybe the risk of breakage would be lowered? ❤❤ I love your colour choices and techniques and I do think it turned out really pretty. Hope you and the peaches are well. Take care. Love your work!
Hey Ellie, thank you so much. You're right, I could have used superglue, but I'm not a fan with polymer clay, sometimes it doesn't stick properly and I've found that liquid clay works better as it sticks to the clay firmly, but for safety of mirrors cracking, you might be right! 🤣 I have never had any clay under baked - but I've had it burn on to high a temp, sometimes I put it back in if not baked properly after the first go, I know alot of people bake at alot hotter temps though. May be it's my oven that's super hot? The peaches are good thanks haha. I might call them that in the future 🤣 thanks for your comment & watching as always ❤️
