I didn't think of using the thickness guides so that the design is even. Thank you for sharing.😊

I drop these in my cart with my mystery box!! I do pretty good with texture sheets, but I love the idea of being able to manage the entire width of the sheet as well!!!
I see perfect bracelets with these!

What time and temperature do I set my oven to?

[@TheClayImpress]

The temperature depends on the brand of clay you're using. The package should tell you the right temperature.
The thing that the package gets wrong is the duration. Some recommend only 15 minutes or so, but I wouldn't ever bake anything for less than an hour. It really needs time to cure fully and become nice and durable.
Remember that you can't burn polymer clay by baking for too long. It will only ever burn if the temperature is too high. So most folks bake for an hour to ensure it's fully cured.

I am not having much lunch. I bought the hanging plants.

I'm sorry you're having trouble. Can you tell me a little bit more about what's going on?

@@TheClayImpress It’s not getting all of the image.
And it’s sticking with corn starch.
I haven’t tried water yet.

@@terrilemberger5840 If your clay is sticking, the best thing to do it to firm the clay up. Texture sheets are much easier to use when the clay is firmer because it's much less likely to become stuck in the pattern. To make your clay firmer and less sticky, place your slab between two pieces of clean printer paper for a few hours. This will leach out the excess moisture and make your clay much easier to work with. Be careful not to leave your clay in the paper for too long. You can over-leach it and dry it out.
If you're not getting all of the pattern, you may not be applying even pressure or you slab may be an uneven thickness. I actually find it really difficult to apply even pressure, that's why I typically use the 3.5 mm thickness guides on either side of my clay. That way, I can press super hard, and I'll always get a nice even texture.
