Clay Along Creations
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2020
I love God and my family, but my passion is for ART. I dabble in all forms of art, including sculpting, painting, yarn crafts, multi-media crafts, and even a little sewing, but I am mostly drawn to sculpting. My choice of medium is polymer clay, but every now and then I enjoy creating with paper clay and even making some projects with resin. This channel is just me enjoying myself as I create fun pieces out of clay. I will share some tips and tricks that I've learned over the years of sculpting. These tips are things that I had to learn by trial and error, so I'm here to share them with you all to maybe help with your own sculptures if you venture a try at sculpting. So, grab some clay, a little paint, and come Clay Along...

Fantastic work, 👏 love how you tied it all together 👏👏

Cool sound effect at the beginning, I was listening with headphones.

`Great researching and breakdown of pricing. I hadn't really taken overheads into my pricing. Like you I add the materials and what I would like per hour. Will need to rethink. Thanks for sharing. Cx
@@corinnerichardson9093 the extra expenses that incur from making these wonderful little treats for people should not just be eaten by the artist. Your time and money is valuable too. Anyway thank you so much for watching and commenting. It means so much to me
That scarecrow is absolutely beautiful! And your pricing makes perfect sense and it’s so reasonable 🩷
@@Addiep03 thank you so much… I actually have a video of the making of the scarecrow in one of my earlier videos… and I try to be as reasonable as possible. With all the inflation and the higher costs of everything I try to be as fair as possible
So cute - I just want to rub that lil belly. Thanks for sharing Cx
Aww 🥰 thanks and I’m sure she’d love a belly rub
Awesome tips for beginners! I frequently mix the Sculpey coloured clay with Super sculpey beige, it's more cost efficient. Oh my gosh! You picked out my favourite sculpting tool and I've got a lot but I like a range of choice, i also like making my own texturing tools, I love scrunched up foil or bits of bent wire. Oh gee! You found my marbles, I was wondering where I left them 😁
@@Crafted_By_Alex I’m sorry hun but those are my lost marbles and I’m missing so many more 😂😂😂

Nail polish brand and color??
@@arealworm I used Apple Barrel paint in the color lilac mist. It’s not nail polish it’s a cheaper craft paint that you can get at Walmart
Thank you so much for the great advice on the purchasing of tools and clay for all of us complete novices. I do wonder if a colored clay ( such as gray) and also a white or tan version would be adequate for making small animals like your elephant or perhaps baby birds. I am pretty good at mixing basic colors like I used in painting plaster figurines back in the day. So I would definitely buy the better quality paint in fewer colors. I’ve seen Temu’s small beginners clay crafting items for less than $10.00 that includes the rubber tool and the small ball tool , etc…would that be worth the money? Also would using powered eye shadow work for giving cheeks color before baking or is painting the better choice?
@@terrieseverson6346 I’m so glad this could help 😊 I would definitely just get a couple colors of clay and mix them to start off and you can definitely come up with tons of things you can make with the same couple blocks of clay. Also, any cheap tools work well. You do not have to spend much on tools. Put your money in the clay and paint. And I definitely prefer the eye shadow for giving blush accents over paint. I wish I would have thought of that to add to the video. That’s a great tip
For animals I find using white clay and coloring (pre-baked) with chalk pastels does very well too. It creates a softer fur-like appearance.
@@arealworm I do that as well. It’s a good strategy and if you’re going to invest money into making polymer clay a consistent hobby then this will work well for a softer, more delicate look. This video was more about being a complete beginner and trying it out for the first time. If you don’t like it or it’s not your choice hobby then it’s good to not put a ton of money into it when first starting out. These are tips on how to start off with as little money as possible… but thanks for the feedback. I’ll definitely have to show this technique in a video soon
Oh I love these!
@@colleengarland8977 thanks 😊 they were fun to make
This video was a great reminder to me that projects can be fun and cute without being super detailed and using a bunch of supplies. Thanks so much!
@@amyles1077 aww 🥰 great I’m so glad I could help… happy crafting
Oh my goodness - sooo CUTE - love them. Thanks for sharing Cx
@@corinnerichardson9093 of course 😊 and thank you for watching
Great video. Love the way you turned less than 5 dollars into saleable items. I started with a clay kit and now I buy the small blocks of colour but larger 1 lb blocks of black and white. My hand isn't steady enough for paints but keep gold and silver on hand, Also, I have some coloured marker pens I can use. You're right about knitting needles and tooth picks for detailing. As always thanks for sharing hon - loving your style Cx

Great advice!
@@colleengarland8977 thank you so much
Awesome insights! Commissions aren't my favourite, i spend far too long trying to make it perfect, which is almost impossible. I also like to create whimsical or fantasy pieces, with the aim of minimising criticism, and when I do get criticised, I'm still puzzled by it 😁
@@Crafted_By_Alex that’s how I feel too… you get it
To me being an artist is a person who sees an image in their head and creates it with their chosen medium to bring it to life. Personally I love baby elephants and when I see one that has been created to my likeness I purchase it. Not being on commission seems like a very sensible decision and one that works for you. See you on your next video😊😊
@@terrieseverson6346 thank you so much!!! It was a hard decision to come by but I felt like it was the right one 😊
@@terrieseverson6346 also… the video that I have coming up in a couple weeks (the tutorial, not the art talk) is an elephant. It’s already uploaded and scheduled. And I am working on my art talk about using more economical tools and how to make a quick and easy starter kit for clay.
Yes you are, and your work is amezing! I feel the same way, I have to work my creativity back up again because i lose the joy of creating. And im never happy with what I delver to the consumer. Keep creating for you, and let it take your stress away.
@@CGInt yes🥰 this is perfect!!! Thanks 😊
You certainly are an artist and there is no law that Artists must make commisions... Made the watermelon cane - ready for the next video. Thanks Cx
@@corinnerichardson9093 oh yay!!!
I agree with loving what you make, if you don’t like it it’s easy to put on the shelf of shame “incomplete items”, I use commissions to force myself to create larger and different forms of art. Most important thing as a artist to have fun and enjoy the process. Even if you do take commissions you can tell people no. I have had to refer people to other artists before because I wasn’t feeling what they wanted. Enjoy the process and have fun.
@@JohnByerlyStudios spot on… this is exactly how I feel and how I deal with commissions. Thanks
I just have to make that watermelon cane - your dragon is super cute and of course she needs eye shadow. Thanks for sharing. x
@@corinnerichardson9093 you should give the cane a try. And thanks 😊 but next week I have my favorite project I made with the watermelon cane… saved the best for last
Aawww ... She looks super sweet. Is it all super Sculpey or a mix of cosclay. I'm wondering what else you have made from the cane
@@Crafted_By_Alex it is a mix of super sculpey and Cosclay and I added a little bit of colored clay to give it that pink color
@@Crafted_By_Alex thanks girl… next week is my very favorite project I made with the watermelon cane
Ahhhh, so adorable 😊
@@terrieseverson6346 thank you so much 😊
I never was a serious crafter until I started doing crystal diamond paintings….I made many from flowers to famous stars. Never sold them, just gave them as gifts. Now I’m 80 and my crippling arthritis keeps me from holding the instrument correctly precisely when setting the beads. I’m hoping to start using soft clay that I can correct errors that my fingers may cause. I’m able to hold small instruments for a short period . Could you steer me in the right direction so I will have the proper materials without spending a fortune before I know how I do this craft properly? I love watching you craft and hope I can join in on the fun 🎉
@@terrieseverson6346 of course I can help. There are so many things you use as tools with clay that are just normal household items. The only tool I live and die by when doing clay is called a clay shaper and it has a pointy flexible rubber tip. If I had to start over that’s the tool I would start with. I started with humble beginnings and I understand where you’re coming from. I will make a video all about the things you really NEED to make successful clay pieces and the things that are just convenient and how you can substitute those things. It may be a couple of weeks because the filming and editing of a video takes quite a bit of time and I have a full time job and a family, so it ends up taking me a week to film and then another week to edit and upload so please be patient but I will make a video just for you. Its a great idea for a video anyway Thanks for the idea and I hope we get to clay together soon 😊
@@clayalongcreations I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to read my message and respond in such a positive way. I will be awaiting the special video and know it will be of a great help to me and so many others. 🥰❗️ Terrie
@@terrieseverson6346 absolutely 😊 no problem

So cute. I love your whimsical characters. I just found your channel today and cant wait to continue browsing your projects. Yes, i used to watch the Carol Duvall show too. I dabble in so many things and styles. I need to take a step back and figure out what brings me the most joy. Where do you get the eyes for your characters? Do you make them yourself?
@@TheInkinGardenSpot oh great 😊 I’m so glad you’re here!!! I miss the carol duvall show. And I order glass cabochons eyes from Amazon but sometimes when I’m wanting a specific look I paint the eyes onto clear glass cabochons. I do my own eyes a lot bc Amazon options can be limiting.
These are so cute! Did you make these eyes? Or did you purchase them? If purchased, do you have a link?

What are the eyes made of?
@@robbieseibert1281 they are glass cabochons… you can either buy them already made eyes on Etsy or Amazon or you can buy clear flat glass beads (plain glass cabochons) and paint the eyes on yourself. I do both. It really depends on the look you’re going for… fun fact about using the glass cabochons eyes, they follow you and maintain eye contact wherever you go when you’re looking at them lol 😊
