NEW Flexible Polymer Clay! - Beta Testing!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- In the 9 years I've been here on UA-cam, this has got to be the coolest thing to ever happen to me... I've been invited to Beta Test a NEW kind of polymer clay. So what's new about it? It's flexible! That's right, no more broken tiny parts! Or how about being able to move parts out of your way during painting? These are just two examples why this is HUGE! It would mean the world to me if you dropped in on this video to let me know what you think about this. Listen to what I have to say (it was a little hard talking with me being so excited btw lol) I could really use the feed back, now more than ever. I miss you guys and have a lot of work to do restoring this channel. I'll need a little help though, all I'm asking is to watch this video and leave a comment. Feel free to like it too if that's your thing :D Let me know if you're signing up for the newsletter or not. Are you interested in flexible clay? I am!
Subscribe and hit that bell for new content! This could prove to be VERY interesting so become part of the family today!

I just posted an update on what's coming NEXT on this channel on the Community Tab of my UA-cam channel, here's the link: ua-cam.com/channels/gan2vsUmCqmMKs8raRbHBA.htmlcommunity You should really check it out if you're curious about this new clay!! It's gonna be fun!
Come on guys, chat with me about this new clay? Looking forward to hearing from you... :D
This is seriously neat! I love making figurines with polymer clay. It would really help with the tiny brittle pieces on spiky dragons and creatures with horns. It could also help make some amazing moveable parts, potentially!
I really appreciate you letting me know. This is weird, I watched it like 3 times on my PC before uploading but I'll double check my mic/camera/editing program settings to see if it's anything to do with that.
Gratitudes for introducing this new product. In addition to making Stop-Motion animated characters, can Monster Clay also be used to make costume masks, gloves, prop devices, etc? I'm interested in making an Outworlder costume to promote my Gotham Filmwerks channel and also creating characters, vehicles and props for future productions.
Sound very cool!
I went ahead and ordered a package. It's definitely made for bigger sculptures and such as well as for cosplay. What I am interested in is how it takes color (it's obvious it needs painted as it only come in one color), and what type of pigment/paint one needs to use, also, before baking, after baking, etc. Seems like a happy mix between super sculpey and Bake and bend. I'll let you know on FB how it goes
Hi! I have some good news, they are working on colors too! :D I just wanted to know what exactly it is you ordered? This clay is not yet available to the public (I'm just beta testing it, that's how I got it) so I'm just wondering if you meant you signed up to their newsletter? Or did you order Monster Clay, if it's monster clay than I just wanted to let you know that is almost entirely different than polymer clay, it requires heat when working it, it'll never become permanent as you can just melt it back down in a pan of liquid again and again. Let me know.
In lesser words, if you bake monster clay it will just turn into a liquid. As would any oil-based clay.
Never thought I would be seeing flexible and polymer clay in the same sentence. I have so many things I can use this for costuming elements. Depending on the weight will determine whether I use it for a certain part. It might even make one of my designs far more easy to make.
Definitely something with an armature so we can see it pose into different ways , looks awesome 💖💖
Thank you for the feed back, definitely going for something posable!
I had the same idea !
Definitely something poseable 😁 ...exciting!
Would love to see how this works with wire and if it will keep the pose or breaks and if it has a breaking point.
This is really exciting! It reminds me of trying Lumina, which is an air-dry polymer clay that remains flexible. Great for flower petals and fins, etc. BUT the downside is (in my experience) you have to work really fast. Once cured, it is indeed pretty durable, but I've ended up with unusable cured chunks of it by not planning out how much I would need for a project. (I learned to work in small pieces at a time.) But this Cosplay looks like the best of both worlds - flexibility combined with the fact that you can bake it, so the pressure is off. :D Thank you for sharing this!
Hey thanks for stopping by! I had to goggle that cause I never heard of it, also I never heard of sculpey bake n bend either prior to uploading this video lol.. oopsies! That's twice now I made an inaccurate statement on UA-cam (last time being I though I invented the pixel cane method) oh well, it happens. Ya it says Lumina is air-dry clay, one thing I've found is air-dry is very hard to work with, the most obvious reason being it drys up too soon, but also, the amount of shrinkage they do makes it very complicated to use (can't use an armature for example) but I don't know if that's the case with Lumina tho, haven't used it. I want to thank you again for checking this out, this video is rather boring due to I'm just announcing stuff to channel. But the sculpting is always fun, and on a blue moon I sneak in some stopmotion :D BTW I find your channel VERY interesting to watch AND listen to!
Wow! Super excited to see what you can do with this clay. I wonder how well the details, such as wrinkles or scales will come out. Your content is amazing as always!!
I've seen so far both hyper realistic and rough works done with this. It all depends on the methods/techniques done as well as time put in really. And thank you so much!!!
So good to see you back, 😊😊
Yes, the 9 eyed slug would be fun! And a good test, or anything with long legs.. with / without wire for posing. Can't wait for the next instalment! xx
Glad you like the slug idea! As far as seeing what this will do "without" a armature it's pretty simple, the object will just spring by or it's original baked position, much like the test piece they sent me.
@@TheBroodingTom Yes, I meant as a comparison to show.. 😘
This clay looks pretty awesome I would definitely try this brand if it becomes available near me, thank you so much for sharing.
I love to make clay miniatures. This stuff would be perfect for plants, food, animals, etc. I am super excited for this. :)
Greetings from Vietnam, thanks for the information about the clay.
--Questions: What paint or pastel can be used with this bendable clay. Acrylic? - Does the paint break when you bend the clay and if it does, what to do about it?
--What I want to see you do with this clay: Anything that can show its features, but I'm thinking of a small human figure maybe. A short stop motion done with this clay would be nice, too.
Again, thank you a lot for the video!
Hi! Paint shouldn't break, especially helps if you bake the paint onto the sculpture, it really adheres to it. :) -Alex
I cant wait for this!, what a fantastic invention, we live in a wonderful new world { this is like something they got from out of a UFO lol }, the possabilities are truely amazing for this, COME ON AND GET THIS ON THE MARKET!!, you are going to be very rich. Thanks for this video, it tells us a lot
Hi !! im in this cosclay betatesting too and i love it so much !! can't wait to see the colors one ahah
great video ^_^
It's awesome I love it too! Already a big fan :D I wish they would let us know how many colors there are!! Can't wait to see!
How about a poseable cartoon character?
This clay is so interesting! I need to get my hands on that at some point.
I feel like a sculpted hand with armatures in it could be very interesting to see the capabilities of the movement after baking
The first thing I make will definitely be posable! Hope to see you then!!
I make miniature (1:12th scale) polymer clay characters and fingers are always at risk from breakage so immediately I can see advantages for me. Then there is the whole new world of poseable miniature people. Can't wait until its on the market and hopefully available in the UK.
From a purely personal point of view I would like to see you make a miniature character with poseable arms, legs, torso and head - selfish I know but you did ask.
Wondering how is is to paint on, and can you sand it?? I love that it can bend. Thinking of many ideas to try it out on. Thanks for showing it.
I'll be testing just that and a bit more here very soon... Hope to see you there!
Thanks for posting! It’s good to see you. I’m excited to see what you find out about this new clay!
This clay seems awesome! I work on a hand at the moment, and i think that your clay will be perfect for that type of project :)
I'm curious about colouring it - I wonder how the finished flexibility would be affected by dyeing it with pastels or alcohol inks, for example?
Hi! Stays flexible, no issues or moonies :) -Alex
@@CosclayUSA Neat! Thanks for the reply :)
Magical creatures please !
Was thinking something with tentacles too. Release the KRAKEN :D
Would try to work into a model blending it with premo to see if its compatible
I know its compatable with other polymer clays, other testers have already mixed them... but as far as how much fixability it retains I'm not sure. I would imagine the more "normal" clay mixed into it, the less flexibility it retains, if any at all. But durability would seem to be increaded nonetheless. Just my thoughts, until I can try. Thanks!
This clay looks amazing!!? It would be perfect for stop motion puppets, cool jewelry, or interesting statues!! :D
especially once they release the "colors" they're working on!!
You could make an octopus, or a jelly fish with tendrils, or a kitty.
I would love to see what it would be like as a flexible mask thats about 3-5mm thick. I make puppets normally from silicone and just wondered how flexible this cosclay is.
AAAAH! you should do a Q&A on what clay is best, age, married, I
Lifestyle, art style, anything!
sculpey actually does have a product called "bake and bend" I would love to see how the two compare to each other.
I too would like to try that as well, but later of course lol. Never heard of it
Gargoyle 😎
Not a bad idea for a more complex video series, for sure! I think I'm gonna jump right out with a childhood drawing of a 9-eyed slug first tho, I feel I could make it in one day even.. imaging being able to move all the eyes around?! A perfect test for flexibility, no doubt. I'm so hyped about this I can't handle it lol! Thank you for leaving a comment, means everything!!!
Polymer Clay Artist this clay is awesome. I’m always creating leaves and flowers and small sculptures that snap during transit. This clay would mean little to no breakage .
I have used silkclay when I need stuff to be playable - it air-dry and feels like smooth foam
You should definitely do another dragon :D
Agree a billion times 👍
wow that's awesome! so many different applications I can think of I can't wait to see what you come up with.
Thanks it means a lot!
I'm seeing a potted plant with lots of vines, tendrils and leaves. Or a gift box with curly ribbons.
I'm pretty boring, aren't I?
Not boring at all! Especially a plant!
Well, and I thought you had fallen off the face of the earth...
Anyway, looking forward to seeing you back, it's about time!
Thanks for the link! Also, I think a 9-eyed slug would be pretty cool way to test the flex feature for sure. I think I'm gonna do it lol I have a drawing on my facebook I think... somewhere, just got to dig around! And thanks! Its good to be back, as always! And glad to see you here, means everything!
HE’S ALIVE!!!!
....
Nah I’m joking but it’s good to see you!
lol thanks! I'm still pretty young, will be 40 in less than 1 month hehe
Polymer Clay Artist
Happy early birthday then!
I need this in my life RIGHT NOW, red alert! XD
I know what you mean! It wont be long until it's here so save your pennies... it'll cost about the same as super sculpey which is good imho
@@TheBroodingTom So if you have a decent armature inside, this means you can actually reposition the piece and the clay will basically "follow" the shape?
Yes! If there is no wire in it, it'll just spring back into it's natural baked position... I know this video is rather long, but I show it in action here, as well as how it can be destroyed if you decide to bend it THEN put it BACK into the oven... big no-no lol. Check it out if you get a free moment ua-cam.com/video/XZP39S_GGos/v-deo.html
Thank you so much! I did sign up and will be waiting for the release. Take care. I love your videos. You are so talented!
I just thought of something... I hope you can do a little test for me when you get to messing around with CosClay. No rush. But for a project I’m working on now. If I was able to paint on the clay, then bend it. OMG!! I will be celebrating big time. Hurry up! Just kidding. I’ll be researching for a good paint that is able to bend without cracking. Thanks brother
That is so amazing! I can´t wait until this clay is available for all of us :-) I would like to know more how to paint it.
Awesome, thank you! What I'm going to make will definitely be painted!! :D Hope you to see you again when I reveal it. :D
@@TheBroodingTom I´ll be back! :-))
Oh wow!! Dragon wings please🐲
Very interesting concept. My only concern would be is that it gets hot here, and even worse, I have hot hands. I find it very hard to work with soft clays. I hope they make multiple hardnesses, then I might try it.
They are working on a "hard" version, where this clay I have now is considered "medium" ..so YEP! How exciting?!
@@TheBroodingTom Thank you for the info! Now I'm definitely interested. I'm new to polymer clay, and I've been doing posable figures. Ball jointing is too hard for my skill level so I've been leaving bare wire at the joints so I'm forced to dress my figures to hide that. This may make this whole process more interesting.
I think you should make a dragon like you said then we could see maybe like posable wings scales and horns. This clay actually seems to be really cool. Only 1 question though I'm from Scotland - where do I get some? -
It's not yet available for purchase... yet! But from what I understand it could be out this fall!! Just sign up to be in the know with changes and release dates. Also, they are currently developing a firmer version of this as well as COLORS!!
@@TheBroodingTom Thank you for your reply. I'll certainly be keeping a lookout for it. I can't wait to try this out and even better if it comes in colours.
@@cherryshrimp4120
Good God Cherry, you're here too, it's a little eerie to think how much we have in common! Lol!
@@quietinspirationcreations3448 You know what they say though 'great minds' and all that lol 💜
I want some of that!!
I hear ya! It's coming this Fall! :D
Hi there I have just one question about the flex polymer clay. Do you need to bake or air dry?🤔
From where can I purchase the clay? This seems awesome! Can't find a buying link!
It's not quite ready for release... yet! (I'm a beta tester) I hear it could possibly be ready this Fall tho!! Sign up at their website to get first hand news about it.
Can you make a very thin flower shape
Love it! Where can we buy it please?
It's not quite ready for release yet, they a sent a little out to different artist to beta test the stuff. But I hear it might be sometime this Fall! In the meantime you could sign up for their newsletter at cosclay.com
You have to attempt an actual head sculpture now. You should try a hyperrealistic sculpture. I don't think I've ever seen you attempt that.
Yep... that would be the ultimate challenge! Heck I've seen work so realistic it has pores in it (what we sweat out of in case I misspelled it lol)
Wonder if you can use acrylic paints to color this
You can, and I did in this video :D Also, I just learned that color clay WILL release with the cosclay this Fall!! Not yet sure which colors tho...
Hello, what is the price of this clay? Do you happen to know?
I would like to know if it is easy to color the clay! And where can you get the monster clay? I am interested in trying that out also!
I have no powders on me at the moment, but could try pastels maybe... VERY good idea by the way! Also, they are currently developing a firmer version of this clay, as well as COLORS!! Not sure which colors, but ANY would be appreciated for sure!! Thank you for taking the time to comment!
Whats name polymer brand??
😄
I’m trying to find where to buy some. Do you have the website?
It will be available to everyone this Fall, but you can sign up for the newsletter here cosclay.com
I love the concept as I do dolls and want to do BJD with it can't wait to try and for props wow very excited thanks for showing it
Make a orc from wow
I'd like to see how poseable with a wire for dolls and such
Apparently it's very poseable, I just saw this video, in it he says that there's no wire, but found out afterward that there is, and he couldn't break it, no matter how far he bent it!
ua-cam.com/video/tsu53svMT70/v-deo.html
Right, without a wire it just springs back, but with a wire it can hold a pose (provided the stiffness of the wire matched or exceeds the "springing" effect of the clay) Thanks so much for asking btw! Question for you actually lol.. I never made a doll before, so is it normal to do only the head/neck, arms, and legs and leave the body out? Or does that only matter if it gets clothing? I suppose a "stick figure" would be revealing enough lol Thanks again!
THANKS! I am a member of their Facebook page, but didn't know they had a UA-cam channel!! Subbed lol They are amazing, and the facebook page is wonderful and very supportive too! @shiflettbrothers
@@TheBroodingTom
Haha, YW, I think everyone has a UA-cam channel, these days, I'm even thinking about starting one, only problem is, I has this weird aversion to camera's!
