This is why you always swatch EVERY new art supply, even clay. It makes sense that colors change when you bake clay. Most things change color when you bake them, food, clay, etc. It would also be a good idea, if you need a specific end color, to mix the color you THINK you need, and then bake a small sample piece of the color to see if it changes at all and adjust accordingly.
I want to thank you so much for *all* of your videos. I am literally brand new to polymer clay (bought mostly the "right" stuff because of your videos). I'm slowly making my way through all of your videos and Oh My Gosh, I didn't know there was so much I didn't know!!! Your voice is so pleasant and friendly and every video I've watched so far is packed full of information. So, again, thank you for all the time you have spent doing all of this for your viewers.
@@QUESNSLDN Yes we are OK thank you for asking! We took a temporary break from posting on TH-cam to rebuild our business, and it took way longer than expected. We are nearing the end of the rebuild and should be back on TH-cam soon. In the meantime, I do a weekly LIVE Q&A Broadcast on Facebook on Wednesdays at 12:00 Noon Pacific Time. Hope to see you there! facebook.com/polymerclay
Thank you for sharing. I am in the early stages of learning how to use polymer clay to make lathe turned pens. I will be making a point to watch more of your videos in the future.
Thank you for the work :) I´ve made something like this with my Fimo colors. Ive baked the colors and glaced them. So I can see how it looks with a shiny or a mat finish. I like the idea of raw vs baked very well :)
Another useful video Cindy, thanks. I love your thorough approach. If you ever get the opportunity to do a video like this with the fimo range that would be fantastic too. I liked that clay with the little pearl-like flecks in it. :)
Hi Cindy, I really love your videos, they're very helpfull (especially the raw vs baked ones) and I was wondering if you could make a video about sculpey 3 colors.
+alicja placek Thank you for saying that! I could make color chips but I don't like SculpeyIII clay because it is too brittle. Premo is a much better quality clay.
This is very helpful, especially for a newbie like myself. I have a question about how well clay releases from glass or metal. I'm using Premo and I want to create a mushroom cap by covering a glass or metal bowl. The mushroom will go out in my yard as part of my fairy garden. Thank you for your help!
Hi Sarah, the Faux Abalone Paua Cuff Tutorial is actually one of my paid tutorials. Here is the link to more information: www.beadvideos.com/back-issues-03/vol-065/
Does the gold premo turn out sparkly or metallic or is it more opaque, I was only able to find 18K gold at the michaels near my house but it is very sparkly but its not part of the glitter line. I am looking for clay that is gold but not sparkly.
thank you so much for the great info on the premo colors just one question the ones like fuschia, ultramarine,green, and purple that gets slightly darker when baked how would you go about mixing so that you dont loose the lighter color like the fuchsia love the color of it raw but not so much the color difference when baked is there a way to keep it more true to the raw color.....hope this makes sense sorry if confusing I am a very new to polmer clay
Those colors darken a little because they have a fair amount of translucent in them so to counteract that, you can add a touch of white. Bake up some little test samples to get the exact color you want after baking.
This is very helpful. I immediately went to find periwinkle and wisteria (at that point in the video) and couldn’t. Jungle I found but it was hard. I wish that places like Amazon, Michael’s, Hobby Lobby or Walmart would just sell ALL of one whatever brand they have. Trying to cobble together everything I want or need from multiple sources is kinda crazy making 🙄
Yeah I am always surprised by how hard companies make it to buy their products. 🙄 Jungle and Periwinkle have been discontinued... another thing that drives me mad. But you can buy directly from Sculpey now at www.sculpey.com so at least you can get all their colors in one place, though I believe there may be experiencing some delays with Covid happening right now.
PolymerClayTutor I love your posts. Have found them to be the most informative. Like baking color changes and translucent types. I like/need to categorize things and always wish all the info was just in ONE spot rather than having to go figure it out. Almost everything I’ve been able to find on your channel 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing this. I didn't spot Magenta Pearl on there. I'm getting used to the new recipe despite it looking like I've boiled my fingers as so much dye leaches out! I preferred the original shade of magenta pearl and have been trying to replicate it. Do you have a recipe for that?
Liz Holt I think they were having trouble with that color.... they have discontinued it as well. Last year I think. I don't have a recipe for it but you could check the www.sculpey.com site. They might have one.
+wilson lopez it is just a square cookie cutter. I don't remember if it is from Amaco Poly Cutters, Makins set or from Sculpey. There are tons of them out there though. The size is 3/4 inch.

💖💖💖 Thank you so so much Amy for the kind words! I appreciate you taking the time to say that! 💖💖💖
This video is sooooo helpful for choosing colours. You've made it possible for us to visually see & choose accordingly. Thank you so much
Thank you Samia for popping by to share the love! Glad it was helpful for you!
@@PolymerClayTutor I hope you are okay. I noticed you haven't posted in years xx

Thank you for making videos! They're so helpful for me--I'm still a beginner!

I am about to place my first ever clay order and this was extremely helpful, thank you (5+ years later!)
Thank you for the work :) I´ve made something like this with my Fimo colors. Ive baked the colors and glaced them. So I can see how it looks with a shiny or a mat finish. I like the idea of raw vs baked very well :)
I'm so sad that the colorful translucents were discontinued. They are so beautiful.
thank you soooo much!!!! this was really helpfull!!! i completely changes my order after seeing the colours here!!!
So happy to help Lizzie! Thanks for commenting! 💖
Just came across your channel and I really like your setup!! I'm rather new to clay and find a lot of help in your videos. Thanks for the tips.
Lol me too😄
This is great Cindy, thanks for showing us how they change color. Very interesting.
Love your tutorials. Easy to understand and follow.
Thanks so much for doing experiments like this it’s so helpful and means I don’t have to buy every colour that exists just to know
This was so helpful, thank you for creating this video!!

very helpful! thank you for posting free videos.
You showed me in person, exactly what I was looking for, a current color chart? When was this video produced?
I really enjoy and appreciate your videos.
So, so helpful, thank you :) just ordered some of that pearl!
cool stuff, I am playing with it myself. I don't worry about the colors so much as I am making molds.
Can you please do this with fimo?!! Both fimo soft and effect. That would be awesome if you could : )
Love your channel

Really good content. 👍🏼
Is Cadmium Yellow really that dark?! It looks almost gold :( I just ordered some and am not looking forward to that color.

thaank u, I loved to see it & Im looking forward to more videos of yours. xoxo
You are sooo welcome! 💖
do you think thickness would affect it your baked samples are very thin
I love the colors , do you have any idea about where I can buy the mold for the tiles that you have in the video

Where do u buy most of your clay, because I see u have a lot, and it can be pretty expensive sometimes?
Nice video's , how do you Tint ORIGINAL skulpey clay ? alchohol inks? colored chalk? oilr bases or regular,,etc
you have to use oil based products because water based products my evaporate while baking
Thank
Thank you for sharing!--Where do you buy your clay?
Do you think the other brands are not the same true , pure colors?
Can I make a sketch model out of this clay?
Hi I'm new. Do I have to bake after painting?
I like it. Thanks
Thanks, I love you:)
Whoa opal is pretty..
Why do you prefer primo
The GREENS have always shifted..........so I add a tine spec of yellow to compensate.FYI. Works for me, your have to experiment yourself......smile
