Thanks a ton for sharing your process in these videos and especially your experience with making your own tools and clay. I would like to be working with clay that is sturdy and not fragile and so I am excited to try your recipe! I also appreciate that you show a lot of real time footage of yourself working on your pieces because this really allows me to understand your movement process while you are applying different techniques to achieve your sculpts. Impressive translation of your 2D artwork to your 3D sculpts too. I saw that on the first video i watched of yours where you were making a chubby sneering kid. Thanks from New Mexico!
Hello, like everyone else a sincere thank you for sharing. It opens up a wonderful world of creativity for me. I have a question: what quantities should I take into account, the one in the description of the video or the one shown in the 1:23 video, because they're different. I wish you a wonderful, enriching and creative year.
Hi, follow the quantities listed in the description box, I've also pin the link of the updated version of the recipe. ua-cam.com/video/hwuFQH6X2O4/v-deo.htmlsi=ZU3vYkn47P3LANbI Thank you so much for your beautiful wishes 💚 I also wish a wonderful year full of joy, adventures and love.
Feeling lucky to find your channel doing sculpturing from some time but i want to make it my career ..u r a great teacher i learn many bafic and deep things from u
Save your egg shells, i keep mine, just a quick rinse, let them dry and either have fun crushing them in a air tight bag or put them in a food processor. Easy 😅❤😊
Maybe mineral oil will work better for the color? It's clear like baby oil too Also will magnesium carbonate (gym chalk instead of normal chalk) work instead?
Melita i found making the paper stumps very handy, they are usually used for blending charcoal n pencil etc. Very easy to make, its just a very tightly rolled piece of paper in to the shape of a pencil, wonderful for blending and smoothing ❤
Hi, well whenever I add a layer of clay I always try my best to spread it as evenly as possible using very little water, once I'm satisfied with wherever I was working on, I finish the smoothing with a soft brush soaked in water. Before I sand something I always smooth the surface with a damp fabric. Thank soOo much for commenting. Blessings
Hi, no, you can't use plaster of paris because it'll start to harden and it will ruin the clay. You can try gym chalk, it looks pretty similar to the chalk I'm using...
I have put varnish on top of the acrylic, when the varnish is dry, I can peel it off using my fingernails. Can you give me some tips so that the varnish doesn't peel?
Yeah I get what you're saying it has happened to me as well, it's mainly due to the varnish you're using it's probably soluble with water those types of varnish usually peel of. I recommend you to switch to a spray coating. 💚
Since the clay contains glue in a pretty high proportion when you work with it applying water the glue reactivates and things get really sticky, so oil helps to prevent all that stickiness...
Olá! Tudo bem? Quero fazer essa receita , o Calcium Carbonate é um produto usado na parede ou na cozinha? Aí no seu país , você compra este produto onde? Por quanto tempo posso armazena - la? Sou do Brasil , Obrigada!
É giz em pó e é utilizado para dar maior versatilidade às pinturas. Na América Latina é fácil encontrar em lojas de ferragens, peça como giz em pó para adicionar em tintas.
Oi, moça. Tenho quase certeza que ela está se referindo ao que chamamos de cal. Se for comprar, procura o cal de pintura, porque tem um cal que é um suplemento para a terra. Se não for isso, então é gesso. Porque algumas tintas têm gesso na receita. Mas eu tenho quase certeza que ela se referia ao cal.

Hello. Just found your account here. I would like to ask if you use resin for air dry clay kitchenware, is it safe to use it for food?
Melita i found making the paper stumps very handy, they are usually used for blending charcoal n pencil etc.
Very easy to make, its just a very tightly rolled piece of paper in to the shape of a pencil, wonderful for blending and smoothing ❤
How do you get your clay to dry with such a smooth finish? Mine always has a slightly bumpy look. I use DAS

Hi
Thank you very much for the tutorial.
Can i use plaster of paris for making the clay ?
Hi, no, you can't use plaster of paris because it'll start to harden and it will ruin the clay. You can try gym chalk, it looks pretty similar to the chalk I'm using...
@@Melitaart thank you very much🙂

I use Rust oleum spray coatings, mate (chalky finish) or shiny depending on your project.
@@Melitaart how about padico varnish
Your clay is great! Is chalk in powder the same as school chalk for kids?
It's not precisely the same because kids' chalk contains some additives, but it'll work. Gym chalk it's more alike.
Thank you so much.Where are you from?Your english is wonderful!
Is there a trick to getting 2 ears that match?
hmmm, limestone can be toxic. I wonder if gym chalk (magnesium chloride) would be a better alternative.
Could you tell me why you use oil is it air dray clay that doesn't need oil just water
Since the clay contains glue in a pretty high proportion when you work with it applying water the glue reactivates and things get really sticky, so oil helps to prevent all that stickiness...

@@iloveyourcat.it.is.minenow obrigada
Do you nake it in oven?
Most of the time I leave it dry naturally, but sometimes I bake it when I'm on a hurry lower than 100 degrees.
Thanks 👍
Awesome!
cant you use some kind of acid like lemon juice or vinegar to stop molding ? i see that a lot
She doesn't add any flour or cornstarch may be that's why
