Yes the ink would rub off, so I sealed the first one with gloss, but the others they don't once they are baked. I think it depends on how long you let it sit for before you bake it. I left mine for few hours, which meant I didn't have to gloss all of them. They would be a great gift, I agree! Thanks for watching Nini 😁
❤❤❤ hi Gail - I like all of these. I love that you are so fierce and just go for it. I wasn’t sure what you were doing at first, but it all made sense as you were going along. Each one has its own quirkiness. Although I don’t think I’ll ever make bookmarks, maybe one day I will I do like techniques used. Thanks for this tutorial. Hope you and your pooches are doing fabulous.
Hi Ellie, I think I just love throwing things together & see if it works 🤣 the cut out technique was my favourite as it worked so well with translucent clay, I was thinking may be I can do a stained glass effect on something using this technique? One for my list for sure. We are doing great thank you, I hope you are also! 😊
@@GailJonesPolymerClay I did some butterflies using the cut out method and I inserted translucent clay that I coloured with inks and they turned out pretty great. I also bought a glass lantern at a thrift store and used translucent clay to cover the glass. I actually baked it right on the glass and it turned out really well..
@ellievanessen7574 oooh. I do love a visit to a thrift store, you can find so many great things! I plan on doing this when we move house and flipping furniture. There is so much more love in older things and how they were made. I'd like to actually make a lantern completely out of polymer clay... I wonder how that would go? Something to think about 😊💡
Thank you for your amazing tutorial! I'm definitely going to try to make those myself. I made a couple bookmarks from your previous tutorial and I absolutely love them! There is never enough bookmarks 😂
Thank you for watching! It was great fun & I'm glad you liked it! Bookmarks are so easy & a great way to spash about with other mediums with it like alcohol inks, the patterns are always so unusual 😁
The one with the strips looks like the photos/paintings that have just the Birch tree trunks, I really like that one a lot, as I love birch trees and colorful things. Your favorite one is awesome!! A true artisan masterpiece! Though you feel you overdid the ink, it worked! What brand of translucent did you use? It is so white, so, not yellow or dull. Your spontaneous organic techniques are winners and would showcase in a shop window in a beach town near me called Cambria. Great work all the way around!! I just introduced a person to the world of polymer clay and they fell in love hard! I'll send her your channel and I know she'll add to your growing number of subscribers!
Yes, I came up with the birch tree looking one on the fly, I film every experiment, so it's authentic & I learn something too. The brand I used this time was FIMO, but I normally use cernit. Both have pros and cons. Thr fimo brand is very, very hard. Lots of conditioning, but once it's done it really holds its shape, just a little bit more hard work. The cernit is very soft, doesn't work so well with flat projects as it doesn't roll evenly, but good for covering jars as I can roll the jar once it's on to smooth it out. Cernit is great for beads & mixing it with alcohol inks /glitter, but doesn't do well with mica. Don't know why it just looks funny. I must remember to go easy with alcohol inks - a little goes a long way and if I use too much the colour goes muddy. Thats why in the tutorial I managed to wipe some off after baking. It's not fixed until it's sealed with some sort of varnish. I had alot of fun, I also film for hours, but end result I'm happy with. Thank you for watching Allison! 😁
Love them! What did you seal the ones with ink with and what is the gloss on the flower one? I can’t decide which is may favorite! How long have you been working with polymer clay?
Thank you June! I sealed them with DecoArt DuraClear gloss varnish. It's good for a sealant, but not much of a glossy finish. I've been working with polymer clay since I was about 14, so 32 years now! I started with small food items and glow in the dark ghost earrings 🤣 it because my most favourite art medium & I've never let it go! Hope you are well ❤️
they are so cool, I was also wondering if the ink would rub off if you don´t seal them, they would be the perfect gift for birthdays
