dear Kathy 👸i trust you are in health now. Your pendant is very original and stylish. Thank you for your time and all these ideas 💡and ispiration and pattern shares. woh i've repeated many time "and"😁👍👏☺👋
That turned out so nice❣️ I actually like the busy pattern as the details became very clear after the sanding. I really like the contrast of the center mat texture against the polished outer circle. I love the ideas you come up with!! And I love that you love black so much, too, it’s my favorite color. Thanks so much for sharing 🙏 and I’m glad you’re feeling better. Your willingness to take the time to share with all of us is greatly appreciated 💜🤍💙🖤💚 as your ideas and experiments are very encouraging and inspiring❣️💖❣️
Cuánto se agradece algo original y diferente. Todas sus piezas don preciosas pero cuando usted vuelve al negro, es impresionante! Gracias por compartirlo con todos.
I'm So glad you are feeling better. Thank you for another wonderful dose of inspiration.Take good care of you, and be gentle on those hands, we need you!
Love it and to be honest I'd forgotten all about the hidden magic technique, I love the silver texture of the centre with the busy pattern, and love how you offset with the bail, thanks so much, something different to try out with the texture added 💓💓💓💓
Love how the it turned out busy or not. Says “having fun being busy”. lol love the black and silver. Right now where I live I can’t even play with the clay, it’s way to hot. I end up with a mess. Tfs hugs
@@KathrynHalstead I moved from where it was really hot, some summers 125-130*f so where I moved to it’s just warm @ 106*f lol Arizona was hot summers lol
Beautiful. The stills at the start show gold metallic finish, do you do this finish elsewhere? Lol, maybe I missed it somewhere, I was excited to see the process.
Another great video. I am also glad to hear that you and your hands are feeling better! I just received my first bottle of Magic Mix and find it very helpful in making my older clays just that bit softer. It’s really good stuff. I have seen it used in the same technique you used hear and I cannot wait to try it. Thank you!
Great little technique there kath! I’ve actually had some nasty dermatitis break out on my hands for a couple of months so I do empathize with the sore hands …. Not fun! 🥺 glad you’re feeling better. I look forward to giving this one ago soon. Xx
I am so happy you are feeling better! You have been missed. Thanks for sharing your creativity and talents with us. You are such an inspiration to me. One quick question, what was the clear liquid you put on the back to do the dome? Thanks again and take care...we need you!
Lovely work as usual. I love your patience when teaching and your gentle spirit. I really benefit from all the good tips you give. Kathryn, if you don't mind me asking, your pieces always sound like ceramic or glass when you put them down on your work surface. I have a glass work surface like yours but my pieces never sound like that. I'm wondering if I should be baking them longer. I usually follow the baking instructions on the packet for whatever type of clay I'm using, baking about 30 minutes initially, then 30 more minutes when I add the backing, for pieces that look about as thick as yours. Would you advise me to bake them longer or is it not necessary to do so? I really appreciate your help with this, it's something I struggle with all the time. Thanks so much. Ida Rogers
Hi Ida thank you for your kind comments, I generally bake for 30-45 minutes but of course if some pieces are part baked then the backing is added, etc, then that could mean an hour for the initial piece. I rarely bake for more than an hour, I find for the thickness I use 30-45 is plenty. My oven is set at 125°-130° and is very stable temperature too
Excellent tutorial as always! I also want to compliment you on your beautiful arm tatoo(or is it henna?) i usually dislike all tats but yours is like a beautiful lacy Victorian sleeve. BTW, I saw a mokume gane video where the maker affixed the piece, once stamped, to a curved surface, a bottle I think, which made the cutting part much easier. I haven't tried it yet but it make sense that would help to avoid gouges.
Hi Angela... try it ... does not work for me .... and to be honest i make it look super awkward as i'm trying to hold it under my camera at a good angle so you guys can see what i'm doing ha ha ha I do it much quicker and easier when not filming honest .... ha ha ha
I can imagine that does make it more challenging. I use an exacto knife myself and can manage with it okay. But everyone has to do what's comfortable. You do such beautiful work....
Another amazing video! I’m still new to polymer clay and to your channel. Sorry if you have answered my questions many times before. I try to read through the comments so I don’t ask the same question as someone else 😊 But 1) the green silicone, (as I saw in the description, an egg cooker), is yours turned inside out? Because when I looked it up they had “feet” on the outside. 2) What is Magic Mix? Thanks 😊
Hi ... Please ask away always happy to help ..... no mine has "feet " on the outside too ..... maybe it was just the angle.... and Magic Mix is a clear clay softener/additive by Cernit .....Sculpey do one too
@@KathrynHalstead 😊 thanks so much for answering my questions. I really appreciate it. Cernit isn’t very common here in Florida USA. I have seen the Sculpey clay softener though.
Il est vraiment magnifique ton bijou j'adore le contraste mat et brillant 👍👏👏👏 ça déchire ❤❤❤ merci pour ce partage 🙋♀️💋💋💋 bisous 💐💐💐💐
Merci Nathalie

Very pretty .The photo you posted doesn't do it justice. Even though it is busy for you, it came out really nice!
Thanks Wendy
I agree for myself a little busy! But that texture is really nice with just the 2 colors! Pretty! 😍

Hi Suzanne. it a clear liquid clay softener called magic mix by Cernit, Sculpey do one too
Lovely work as usual. I love your patience when teaching and your gentle spirit. I really benefit from all the good tips you give.

its Cernit brand 'magic mix' Sculpey do one also .. Sculpey Clay softener ... thanks for watching x
Thank you, I found both, love the videos
Excellent tutorial as always! I also want to compliment you on your beautiful arm tatoo(or is it henna?) i usually dislike all tats but yours is like a beautiful lacy Victorian sleeve.

Hi Nadia, its a tattoo, thanks, I've tried that method but holding the jar was most awkward for me unfortunately
Would a craft, exacto type knife make the trimming easier on a piece like this?
As usual, you do beautiful work. I've learned so much from you.
Hi Angela... try it ... does not work for me .... and to be honest i make it look super awkward as i'm trying to hold it under my camera at a good angle so you guys can see what i'm doing ha ha ha I do it much quicker and easier when not filming honest .... ha ha ha

Hi Ana ❤
Sorry what do you mean by part baked l'm sure it quite obvious but i'm a bit of a dimwit
I just bake for 15 mins then its hardened but not fully baked
Thank you so much 😊
