Enjoyed your polymer clay samples & love those highly textured ones with that glorious resin sheen. Thank you for sharing with all of us online. Thumbs up!
I think Mica Shift is my favourite technique! It's nice to have some alternate ways to achieve that lovely smooth finish thanks Val. I hope you weren't too badly affected by the big wind! XxxX
Mica shift is one of my favorite techniques. I do shave the top, but will now try sanding on textures that aren't very deep. Looking forward to more texture sheets from moikos. I really enjoy your videos!
Just simply adore the leopard print I need these! Will be ordering this. So happy to see you again. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and talent. God bless and give scratches to the furbabies. Extra for Reggie.
Will do Ramona ❤️. They are nice quality texture tiles. Filming during storm Eunice was a bit distracting... I forgot to mention people should cut their shapes out before baking. Hopefully that's obvious anyway 🤔. God bless you and your family. xx
Love the samples ... and the explanations. And for reminding me about using mica powders so guess its time to hunt mine out. I love the resin finishes, leopard print would be my choice.
Such an interesting technique! The illusion of texture is quite striking. Did you use a sanding tool? Hurricane force winds are horrid-hope you survived the high winds!
Now, please show us your making a pirate's hook for the little dollhouse boy. I think he would love it because of his dollhouse room theme and because he fought the Venus Flytrap. :) You could even use that metal polymer clay, which is something that I have only read about it books and wonder if it is any good.
Interesting to see you can do mica shift without shaving... but, of course, then you have to sand. Mmm, I think I'd rather shave off thin slices, but your technique has given you some spectacular results. Did you sand by hand or are you using a tool to do it? I've only got sandpaper and elbow grease, and that puts me off your technique a bit.
i was told by alot of crafters to use triple thick to finish my craft pieces. well they all turned out stick. i let then dry and everything. what is the best finish/glaze you use to put on your projects when you are done? you mentioned resin but what kind and how do you use the resin? and i enjoy you videos soooooooooo much.
Ugh, nightmare with things staying sticky! The resin I use is some cheap Chinese UV resin, from Amazon. I have a nail light and put things under that to cure, plus I leave them on the windowsill to get actual sunlight for a while. Some UV resins require a wipe with alcohol to remove stickiness. I always recommend making simple samples before jumping in and potentially ruining carefully made things. If you watch from near the end of the video again you'll see that I show a couple of varnishes to the camera - Pearl Ex varnish and DuraClear Gloss Varnish.

Thanks so much! xx
I've just started with polymer clay. Love this idea absolutely and your videos 😍 thank you x
Ooh I love Moiko silkscreens
You stay safe too, the weather is mental! Moiko have loads of textures and I hear you about them being sexy! 😁❤️
Oh I didn't know she did texture sheets also. Thanks for the video.
She has a great selection! Check out her shop. ❤️

We still haven't looked at the roof properly but we are all fine. xx

I have linked her shop... The selection of silkscreens and texture plates is brilliant. xx

@@UnrulyHousewife it is obvious that it does need to be cut out before baking. At least to me it was lol
Wonderful, thank you

Mica powders are really fun, I love them. ❤️

We came out relatively unscathed thanks! Yes, I used my polysander a bit but also did some by hand. ❤️

Well, don't hold your breath.
@@UnrulyHousewife Oh, I just let out my breath. A month was all I could manage. :) How is the bead collecting going?
That is very interesting. I wonder if it would work for buttons. I am obsessed with making buttons. I don't know why!
Yes you can make buttons... In fact I have a video on here somewhere.
@@UnrulyHousewife Off I go to find that video! :)

I used the tool I won and did a bit by hand. Shaving is good but I tend to shake lol. We all find our own preferences ❤️
Absolutely love the copper colored one. I still don’t quite understand how it works. My mind did not get it. 😜🤪
I do my best to understand but basically it's magic 😁
@@UnrulyHousewife hahahaha!

The wind in the UK made the news over here. haha
It was insane lol. Still need to go out and check our roof. xx
The red plate reminds me of Lego
We all said that 😂
What varnish do you use? Thank you
Just replied to this but then I had a distinct memory of holding up the varnish to the camera. It's in the video.
You are very funny hehe
I try 😂
Hi, hope you are doing well. Have you decided to stop doing videos? 🙂
No, just having a bit of a blip. In case you haven't noticed, I am a bit mental lol. Thanks for asking and I hope you are ok too.
@@UnrulyHousewife mental fits right in with me so all good… take care of yourself and we will all be here when you feel better xx
You should have been on Blue Peter, you are wasted on YT
