- Here's another go at alcohol inks and polymer clay, I don't consider myself a master of this art in no way! This is another experiment which I thoroughly enjoy and to be honest, I liked what I came up with!
Subscrible ;)

No glitter- what?! who am I and who have I been replaced with?!
Baking Polymer Clay:
UK instructions for baking- it's all in Celsius not Fahrenheit, which is why I don't always quote times & temperatures. I recommend using Polymer Clay packet instructions. However a good tip is to bake no higher than 100 degrees Celsius. It's better to bake at a lower temperature for longer, than higher for shorter.
Larger clay items need longer- always check after 10 mins- sometimes things fall over in the oven & can be rescued at this point. Watch for burning! Especially white as it's quick to burn (don't know why...) and can turn yellow!
Once out of the oven wait for it to cool before thinking it's baked- if it feels soft to touch, you can poke a finger nail in it or a finger print, back in the oven it goes!
Electric ovens work better as the temperature is even, gas oven temperatures fluctuate do not keep a steady temp for baking polymer clay.

Really beautiful, love the big heart and diffuser 😍
I think I'll do more. These are really fun to do. Messy, but fun 😉
I love the big heart and the second cup. That defuser cup is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing 😊❤
Thank you Kara! Its such a fun thing to try out and you always get different results. It's messy and takes a bit of time for it to dry, but it's worth the wait! ❤️😉
They are all very cool! like the 2nd cup! Love the diffuser too!❤
Thank you Carolyn! I like the outside but not the inside, but its all trial and error - will try less colours next time, see what effects I can get with just 2 or 3 and perhaps less of the gold as it went orange 🤣
I saw a bird on the second glass too! Loved all of them. Liked how you pick up the gold leaf with your sculpy tool. I think I'll try that. ❤
Thank you! Ahh, i didn't see a bird, I'll have a look! I have to use the tools, or I can't get it in the right place 🤣 it makes it so much easier!
I just now discovered you ! I love your channel! ❤
Thank you Anna! And welcome to the madness haha😉
Oh, gosh, Gail! You’ve done it again! I have to do! These would be such a great house warming gift, personalized!!!!! Mother’s Day, etc., etc., with a tray and small carafe!!!! The inspiration is real!!! 😊 Lucky would be the woman who received! Thanks a billion for being you! Your channel is lovely just the way it is. 😊
Thank you so much! What a lovely comment! Yes I make alot of things as presents, people love one of a kind 😊
Beautiful! Good job Gail, thanks for
Thank you Hanna! 🥰
Hi Gail. Your creations are beautiful as usual. And the way you do your videos is just fine! Being able to concentrate while doing your project and discussing the details later. Thanks for sharing your talents.
Aww thank you Leslie! 😁
Subscribed. Loved your video, love how you add the outtakes lol
Welcome Marie & thank you for subscribing! When I started filming, there were so many, I figured I might just add a slot for them & it stuck! 😆
Love the end of your video, I have subscribed 😂
Ooh. Thank you so much Siobhan! ❤️ there are always bloopers 😉
Ok these are all beautiful, I bet them hearts colors would be enhanced if you where to add resin to them. The gold would really be shown off. Love them. Tfs hugs from across the pond. ❤
Thqnk you Karen! Yes! I was thinking of doing this with the same technique but with coasters? I'd resin them to protect the pattern ❤️
I love them all!❤
Thank you Rosalyn, yes I loved this trial - it's always a surprise what you get though, which makes it all the more interesting! 😉 I call it a trial as i couldn't ever explain how to get a certain look or style. It's just pot luck!
Great tutorial! I think how you do your videos is excellent with the intro, show & tell, and just music for the creating. I also find it hard to chat during a tutorial, and I too am in the same boat with you regarding watch hours. Well done for explaining it as I don't think many viewers know.
Aww, thanks! I like a structure, so the video pattern is good for me when it comes to editing... I never know what I'm going to make, I don't plan it out, I just film it all & see what happens 🤣 there is alot that goes on behind the scenes in YT videos that people don't realise, but I absolutely love it, one day in the far, far distance it might just pay the bills- but not yet haha - we can all wish! 😉
@@GailJonesPolymerClay I'd be happy if it just paid for the materials 🤣
@keipfr oh yes, that would be a good start! My ultimate goal is to be sponsored by some brand of polymer clay! 🤣
Hi Gail, happy new year.! I hope you are doing well and how is Bailey ? I’m glad to be back home after a month away but it was quite lovely to be in the sunshine. Funny thing I was just working on some hearts this morning and wondering about using alcohol inks and tada your video popped up. I love these things, especially the hearts.. I have to say I wasn’t sure while I was watching what was going to happen, but each piece is beautiful. I even like the covered glasses inside and out. I’m off to figure out how to do my own alcohol ink creations, although I don’t think I have as many in as you do kind of jelly lol. Have lots of videos to catch up on, so I’ll probably be watching them all sooner or later. Take care and thanks for this video. It’s wonderful.!
Happy New Year, and welcome back! It seemed to have gone quickly! It's a long process with alcohol inks as its messy and them has to dry in-between, but so worth the mess for the beautiful patterns. I'm going to it in later videos with less colours I think, I have to remember to hold back, but I never do! 😄
Nice work, Gail. I love them all. 🌟
Thank you Jenny 😊
Very nice and beautiful tutorial. ❤
Thank you! 😁
it looks like a bird on the second glas :) I got to try that they look lovely
Thank you Nini 😊 yes I'm going to have a look for the bird, I missed it ...
looks like a seagul :) or maybe an albatros lol@@GailJonesPolymerClay
@nini4349 haha ! Now that could only happen by accident! 🤣
Happy new year...I think they all look great. ❤❤❤
Happy new year!! Thank you Judi 😊
@@GailJonesPolymerClay Hey there Gail...I just want to say that I enjoy your videos a lot, but I am running out of things to say. You can only use cute beautiful, etcetera for so long. Just want you to know I will always watch your videos all the way through, but if someone comments on your channel and I will like their comment. It took me 2 hours just to do 3 sentences. Remember that I no talk so good. Oh and if I do you dont have to waste your time answering me back, I know you read it.😊🙃❤
@judiedmundson2736 oh Judi. You matter & all your comments I love & I appreciate all your words, even the small comments as it means alot to me, I will always reply to you! ❤️
You could write more like the color ink as you’re using them, I like the show and tell because we saw it before oven and then we know it was cooked and some videos you can’t tell if it was cooked or not.
Yellow often looks Orange and so on
Good idea! 👍
And even on this one I used gold and it looked orange 🤣 so yes I agree I'll add more description of what I'm using :)
Hi Gail, just have a question- have you ever used alcohol inks over silver or gold leaf?
Hi Ellie! No I haven't- I don't think it would work as it might drip off? Certainly worth a go! You could do the alcohol inks on a really thin layer of translucent and then layer this over white clay with the gold leaf on it? That might work?
@@GailJonesPolymerClay hey thanks for the reply. I’m going to give it a go either today or tomorrow. I’ll let you know how successful I am.
Great video. I appreciate the way you do your videos. Often it appears that people are very nervous during their videos and the say the same things over and over and laugh at inside jokes - taking away from the video. I have often wanted to see the product first because I like what the presenter creates and I go to the end and then go back if I want to make it - just because they talk so much and the videos turn out so long. Not on yours though. Thank you!
Ahh yes I do the same,as for the nervousness - my very first video is still up, I can't look at that as I'll cringe 😅 but now I just talk and try to entertain while showing cool techniques - I do love it a bit of a giggle which is why there are bloopers at the end 🤣 thank you for your compliments Cheryl!
