The dropping clay thing is less “hard to find” and more “how dirty is it gonna get and am I gonna have to start over”
Yeah I was waiting for her to show how dirty it got but she didn't
Omg yes!! U know if it touches the ground it's gonna have fluff all over it.
Richard Avila maybe a part 2? 😂😂
Yes, and how I will step on it and mash it into the rug before I find it!
@@creativerachy yes please
This video is such a mood! Especially dropping the clay on the floor. I HAVE RUN OVER SO MUCH CLAY WITH MY COMPUTER CHAIR
Akisej me
ME Too! :D
Thats really sad.
Ha!! Me too!!! Then it gets stuck in on the rollers of my chair and in the rug I have placed for my chair.
YES
lol i relate to the posture, dropping clay, watching youtube, making even sections,following a tutorial, and liquid clay.
me too
Same dude
Chandravathi Poojary Oh dang thanks for reminding me about this comment, I didn’t know I got this many likes xd. I barely even use clay anymore
Omg
@@animallover6487 aww, no! :( You should!
The tiny mouths and eyes I totally relate too! When I drop my clay it’s got to pick up lint or cat hair!
Oh, you forgot my favorite one... Thinking of yourself as a sweet, G-rated person, but cussing like a sailor when your crafts start to go wrong!
Bahahahaa ha, omg! Yes!
I'm shaking right now please
This is exactly how working with polymer clay can be! I’ve been a clay artist for 14 years now, while I love creating clay pieces for my craft store- it can take soooo long. People that order my creations think it’s fun, but when I have orders for a creation I’ve never created it can take so many long hours. Worth it, but not as easy as many think it is. I admire videos here on TH-cam and all the creativeness with clay. My biggest issue would be small pieces and how it affects my eyes. I will have twitching in one eye from straining them working with a small clay pieces all day. Cute video, loved it!
Eeee! So excited for this one, I just started polymer!
leigh ryan yay congrats! It’s so much fun! :D
Now it's been 8 months do you relate a lot more to the video? XD
hi we have similar names :P
Girl, you are literally the expectation of every one of these things!
I could only wish!
*sculpting finishing touches*
Clay: ima just plop in the floor
Me: o no-how dirty is it gonna be do I have to start over my life is over
Yeah right it is like my life is over
Daaang right in the feels, girl! I probably count for 95% of these situations DX
Can you make a tutorial for fixing these "realities" into their "expectations"? I think a lot of us will appreciate that ^_^0
I’ve been watching you for years and you were the one that inspired me to do polymer clay 💕💕💕
Awww thank you so much!
That’s so relatable omg 😅 oh and you should make a part 2
I can't stop laughing! Feel like seeing myself in all of the reality. 😂 😂 Well, can anyone tells me what should I do if my clay be broken? Sometimes I put liquid clay on it, but I'm not sure if I do it right or wrong... and I fear I put it too much. 😂😂😂
I chop it ino very fine pieces, add liquid clay, knead for an hour, wad it up and toss in trash !
@@methelcarroll7062 ohhh, I'll try to do so! Thank you so much!
Darlin @Methel Carroll was making a joke with their comment. Meaning they try to fix it, but in the end can't, so they throw it away .
Cecilia Dandeliona I just add water
Just knead and knead and knead xD
This video had me absolutely in tears laughing! Every single thing applies to me! I swear I thought I was the only one. Good to see someone as amazing at clay as you goes through all these too. Lol, the putting charms in a baking tray one, I thought nope, nothing there, but then the reality one had me 🤣🤣🤣 because it's soooo true! And sometimes they stick onto the one next to them so u have to separate them.
Glad you liked it! Trust me, you're not alone!
Oh my gosh! Best video ever!!!! Thank you sooooo much. Made me laugh so hard and helped resolve some of the overly perfectionistic criticisms I have toward myself when claying. Thanks for sharing that you guys have human struggles too. Feel very encouraged in the craft. You are the best! :)
i literally relate to all of the realities.
Wonderful tutorial…. I tried the mont marte brand but after baking it fell apart & had cracks…what did i do wrong? Help plz xx thank you.
By far one of my fave videos that you have done! I honestly relate to each one of these so much 😂 please do a part 2!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
I am fairly new to polymer clay and whenever I try to condition the clay (I use a plastic bag and hot water), it quickly gets hard and cracked again and I don't know what to do. I ordered some liquid clay off amazon to help soften it I don't know what else to do. My hands are not that warm.
Lol. Too funny! Posture! My back hurts so much after hunching over clay for hours....and I keep doing it. Lol. Also, getting lost in videos and distracted from the creative endeavor. Usually watching tutorials.
Nice Video idea make more of them !
Especially the first and the one with the dropped clay are THE TRUTH
*the watching youtube while crafting or creating art is veryyyy accurate.😂*
Yass all the time haha
So I have a question, and was hoping someone might be able to help. My fingerprints keep getting on my clay, and the surface isn’t smooth. I’ve tried refrigerating my clay but then it is too hard. By the time it cools enough to be molded, the fingerprint thing happens again. Help!
Love your shirt 😂
Dan and Phil!
Love you Rachel!!!
All of them. I am the worst at getting the pieces the way I actually want them to look. And the kawaii face, forget it ever looking perfectly cute. Fun video!
Omigosh this was so funny 😂. I can relate to all. Wow, I honestly thought that only I experienced 'reality' haha. Thanks for the laughs 😊💕
this is soooo true especially how it crumbles but you expect nice, soft, lovely, stretchy clay... BUT NOPE
I totally recognized in your video, it's amazing ! 😂
......all of them at one time or another (house full of cat hairs).
You are too cute - love this video!
Ur my fav youtuber🥰 lysm and the video was so funny!🤣 I can relate to the even sections one but also most of the others
The "reality" part really spoke to me 😂😭
Dropping on the floor though means it's almost guaranteed a goner. Polymer clay is pretty efficient at find every little piece of dust, dirt, and fuzz on your floor!
Yas omg 😂
This is so great! Love your channel, just started watching it and subscribed!! ❤️😀😀👍👍
Hello
Is it possible to mix Fimo with Premo and Cernit (if something happens when we combine them)
and then bake them together in a baker
For the 3 rd, any help for how it worked well for you in expectations ?
This was so great! I’m getting ready for my first craft show and have been stressing! Thank for helping take a moment to breathe and laugh! 😂
Ommg! Your so cute and silly 💗 All these were definitely me when I first just started doing polymer clay 😂😂😂
Hilarious!!! Especially watching the you tube vid while crafting!
The kawaii face reality is totally me!
Me too. I'm afraid I will be 90 years old someday, hunched over my craft table mumbling, "Dagnabbit, messed it up again!"
You are amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️ can totally relate to this
Definitely the one that you watch TH-cam while crafting lol!!! TFS ~Linda :)
Lol i like the reality one of the TH-cam.. Charm just sitting there while watching TH-cam.
I laughed way to hard at this!!! Problem is..., this is SOOO me when it comes to ANY new project!!! LOLOLOL!!
😂 dropping the clay, it's so true! I laughed so hard, it was perfect. It's especially bad when you drop a tiny piece. I've had to get a flashlight (torch) out and scan the floor! Thanks for the laughs 😊💕
on what temperature do you bake them and for how long!!!!!!!!!?????????
THANK YOU! I've been wanting to get into clay making but I'm not sure what clay to buy bec I'm a beginner
I relate to this so much😭😭😂❤️
Love it..You definitely made me laugh. Can relate to everything single one.
Im not early bit I Love you Rachelle you are my inspiration in making clay charms😄😘😉😊
Loved it😂😂😂especially the crooked smile and bulgy eyes🤣 too accurate
Great video!! I sure can relate to most of this!!😄
I can relate to many of them but mostly the one where you drop the clay and can't find it right away😂
YAS all the time 😂
LOOOL you are so funny!!! feel to seeing myself in all characters!
Thank you, the posture part is so true. My back burn!! 😅
Hahahaha!!! ROFL!! So true! The liquid clay!! I can so see that!! Actually can see everyone of these!! This was a very funny well done video!! 👏👏👏👏👏
Literally, ME, for the reality...
OMG SHAAAAANNNNEEE WAS IN DA VIDEO!
Shane 🙌
OMG! CREATIVE RACHY! LUV U!!!
Absolutely brilliant video, i was chuckling all the way through with understanding hehehe.
I think I can relate to them all!! I really enjoyed this video! Thanks!
Thank you!
I can relate everything. You really did such a good video on it! Totally relatable
ah yes
the desk gremlin position, well known to all desk-based artists
You are so funny Rachy! Great video!!!!💕💕
These are so funny! They're so relatable. Especially the one with long nails. I have long nails and making tiny things it's nearly impossible. I don't know how some people do it like it's the most normal thing ever lol.
Do u know how to fix sticky resin? My whole resin from its container is really sticky I cant use it anymore 😭
Heh~ got a kick out of this. This is the kind of thing that applies to a lot of creative work~ always discouraging hitting these kinds of road bumps, but in the end it's worth it :)
@hafsie Perhaps there is a misunderstanding -- I am not saying anything negative here...
omg ty for making this. I was wondering if I was just doing everything completely wrong watching other people make perfect clay pieces on youtube lol.
This is soo awesome you are hilarious and talented! Even your ‘fails’ looked good!!
Dropping the clay, watching youtube while crafting, lmao. Reality is totally me 🤣🤣🤣
Super funny and helfpul! Love it!
What liquid clay is used
Love your doona cover. Ive been tempted to buy the same one. Seeing yours irl vs on the webside just sold me on it. :)
Yes, I love it!
You are so stinking cute and funny! I’ve been watching and saving your videos to playlists all morning, and this one just made me laugh so hard! 😂😂😂 thank you for the education this morning AND the laughs!
For me, the posture & nails were spot on. I have actually injured myself sitting slumped over for so long & I almost cry having to cut my nails when they get long enough to look nice, but too long to sculpt.
Ok Rachel you’re literally adorable stoppp 😂😂😂
I love this video ! 😂❤️
That was a fun video. I can relate to most of them too!! Thanks.
that part about watching youtube! so tru!!!! luve ur vids!!!
Have you ever tried scenting your charms? I have done it a couple times and I love it!
This is fantastic 😂
This is too real!!! Also your bed sheets are gorgeous!
hey Rachel, Im new to modelling clays and the part about you showing how the clay doesnt come soft and modellable is so true. Can you tell me how you condition your clays before starting? I couldnt get it soft no matter what I did :(
Great video! All your realities are SPOT ON!
What do I do to avoid common mistakes in clay work???😢😢😢
:) I love this video!! You should have another video like this!
Hilarious. Love this!
When ur store is going to restock???
Love it!!!
I love the expectation one
I freaking love this
Absolute best video out there. Feel better about my posture and bad charms now.
this is funny 😂 and I love your videos
Cooooool💖💪
Talks about the struggle of making things with long nails but yet they're not trimmed in half of your videos so I guess you must have gotten used to it because you still manage to make adorable things.
Great vid. So apt.
were the ice creams in the baking tray your own design if so do you have a tutorial on them? xxx
0:56 if you take some oil/water it can be maked a clay again
When are you planning on restocking your shop?
I can’t find ANYTHING on your website
That's because there is nothing on my shop! I haven't sold for a year sorry!
Creative Rachy lol 😂
This soooo funny hahahhaha You did a fabbo job and it sure hit home for me you were sooo right on all of it hahahahha Love your channel :)
haha so true! love this!
The part about posture is what I can relate to the most; I craft in the most unnatural position EVER( being on the floor doesn't help either lol).
The struggle is real. 🙄 I love your videos.
Super Cute Video and So Relatable!!!
