    You are a darling, thank you for sharing your talents with your viewers, doll. Im 46 years young and have finally found a hobby that looks incredibly fun, but difficult (the miniature world) however i am going to give it a go and enjoy my spare time making these little gems. You are such an inspiration. Great work, young lady 😊

    Some people are natural teachers and leaders, that would be you young lady. Your presentation is thorough and easy to follow. You have many great skills. Thank you for sharing your perspective. If I were your parent I would be very proud. In another video you said “to their dismay” you made this into a business… they’d prefer you be unhappy doing what they want? I hope you never ever follow that option to please someone else. It’s your life. If they don’t realize the contribution to the world you’re making with this, please inform them I have spent many hours with children making art, and your videos are the ones I use with them to make inspired clay creations, even when we’re not using polymer clay. Your videos are well organized and the kids love that you’re young and started out young. You’re a true inspiration to your peers.

      Make sure your clay isn’t too soft (it shouldn’t stick to your fingers) + you can freeze your cake for around 15 minutes right before cutting and that will help the layers not blend!

      I’ve never used any flexible polymer clay myself, but I have heard of the brand Cosclay which is supposed to be bendable/unbreakable. I’m not completely sure of its flexibility, but I know many clay artists who love it and use it for all their projects. Could be a good place to start!! :)

      @abbydenion529 2 роки тому +1

      yes you can bake clay as many times as you want. just don’t over bake for a long period of time or they will burn. i also bake my charms slightly under the recommended temp and bake longer for more durability. i would say bake your pieces about 10 mins a part of you want to add more things. after adding icing you should bake again. remember you can never under bake bc you can always put it back into the oven
