    Thank you for your informative video. This question may have been asked, but, is there any color change when the clay is baked?

    • @PolymerClayTutor
      @PolymerClayTutor  4 роки тому +2

      It will all depend on the type of clay (solid color clays vs translucents), brand of clay or ink, color and how much you use in your mix as to whether you will see a color shift after baking. I suggest you make test strips that you can compare between raw and baked, to figure out whether the color shift (if there is one) is something you can work with or not. :)

    What about using something like Brusho powders? I've been itching to try it, but clay is so new to me and I admit to being a little intimidated . Your videos are so helpful. Thanks.

    • @PolymerClayTutor
      @PolymerClayTutor  5 років тому

      Thank you for your kind words! As far as the Brusho Powders... maybe? I haven't tried them yet, though have been thinking of getting some to test them out. If you end up trying them, let me know. (In regards to getting intimidated by this medium, don't be. It's just a hunk of plastic clay. Just play with it. If it turns out crappy, ball it up and try again. As with any skill, it takes some time to master, but it doesn't have the right to intimidate you. A child is not intimidated by an Olympic runner, when it learns to walk. It just tries to take a step and falls over... then tries again, until they learn to walk. Running is a little ways down the road!) :)

    Thanks for the video, Cindy--it was very informative. I haven't yet used alcohol inks with clay but you have inspired me to do so. Just to be sure, were you using Premo translucent clay? Also, do you find a difference among the different brands of translucent clay when using alcohol inks?

    • @PolymerClayTutor
      @PolymerClayTutor  8 років тому

      +Petrina Beads I used Premo White Translucent. Each brand would look a tiny bit different but pretty similar. It would be a fun thing to test side by side to see how much of a difference though.

    Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I have one question, we can use premo clay with alcohol inks also bcz premo translucent clay is not available. Sculpey premo white I have. So to make different shades I can use pinata alcohol ink with premo clay not translucent.
    Looking forward for your reply 😊

    • @PolymerClayTutor
      @PolymerClayTutor  3 роки тому +1

      You can mix alcohol ink with white clay and not translucent, but you will end up with only pastel colors because of the white pigment in the clay mixing with the ink. The only way to get darker colors is to use translucent.

    Can I use acrylic ink instead of alcohol ink?

    • @PolymerClayTutor
      @PolymerClayTutor  4 роки тому

      Maybe, but since I haven't tested that yet, you would need to test it yourself to be sure. From what I gather, acrylic inks work well on the outside of the clay (something I haven't tried yet either, need to buy some), but as far as mixing into the clay, who knows? I might work. Acrylics and polymer clay, usually play nice with each other. If you end up testing it, let me know!

      Gleyce Cruz eu comprei anilina a óleo faz um tempinho, mas ainda não testei. Ela é um pimento bem forte, só de eu abrir a tampinha já manchou bem mimha mão. Acho que teria que usar bem pouquinho. Também não sei se comprei a certa, parece que tem uma anilina a álcool. Mas pra dizer a verdade sabe o que eu estou usando que acho que deve ser bem proximo desse alcohol inks? Corante alimentício! Pois é a composição dele é água, álcool etílico e corantes artificiais. Eu encontrei nessas lojas de produtos para confeiteiros, paguei 1,30 da marca arcolor e na translucida fica bem interessante, praticamente igual ao que foi mostrado no vídeo. No entrando é necessário usar beeeem pouquinho pois ele é muito pigmentado e dependendo da quantidade de massa é melhor usar a menor gota que conseguir. Bjs! 😉

    Hello Cindy~
    I'm trying to make a thick roundish heart shaped kind of charm that has an ombre blend, but I'm not exactly sure how to get the colors to look even and smooth. Should I make a plug out of a skinner blend and roll it into a ball and go from there? (I dont have a pasta machine so I'm trying to use the teardrop method)

    • @PolymerClayTutor
      @PolymerClayTutor  8 років тому

      +Melody Park It can be done, but you pretty much have to make a blended block aka Skinner Blend Plug (look for the video on how to make that) and then carve the block into the shape you want. I would consider it an Intermediate to advanced level skill that will take some practice to get to look smooth. There are also some other techniques that you could so using flat blended sheets but they too are a little on the advanced side. Don't know where your skill set is at but it is definitely something that is possible.

      You can but like I mentioned in the video, mixing the inks with white will only give you pastel colors. If you want darker colors you have to use translucent.

    Great video, thanks for the info:) I was noticing that in your videos at the end you seem to have a bit of trouble either remembering or wording the "exit" info. May I suggest (to help you out! Please don't take this as being critical because I absolutely LOVE you), that you make one "exit" segment and add all of the things you want to say in that, kind of like how you have an intro. I hope you get what I'm saying, lol. It would make it so easy on you, and you wouldn't have to worry about remembering all the things you have to say! everyone would still get all the info you're trying to convey, in a nice little video package at the end:)

      +quinna Thank you for your advice Quinna! I do appreciate what you have to say. I know that sometimes my endings can be a little awkward and I often fumble around trying to find the right words to say goodbye... but in all honesty, I actually think that it makes the videos more real. The beginning is already a little robotic, but I have found when I say the same thing at the beggining of every video, I know how to get the ball rolling. After that I pretty much 'wing it'. No scripts, just a strong understanding of what I want to teach and that's it. It is how my brain works and I have found that if I try to control my words too much, I end up coming across very stiff. Perhaps my unplanned endings, may keep people around to see if I screw it up? Who knows... I do try and improve every time I film, but after 729 episodes, you'd think I'd be better at a smooth exit. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this though. It means a lot that you care enough to help me out. :)
