I came across this tutorial as I was researching clay book covers. Although I will not be working with polymer clay it is nice to see how others work with clay materials. It would have been nice to know what glue you used to adhere the clay to the book, but this was still a well done tutorial.
Hey 👋 - yeah I've figured out what it is- black fimo is really hard to film- you wouldn't believe how many lights I have now & I still need to adjust the camera itself. Also I do alot of my creating at night so it's dark! It's a working progress. Thanks for watching! 🥰
I use either superglue or a hot glue gun, it really does depend on the book. (Thickness/ style- the superglue could bleed through the front page of book if it is thin) For this one, I used super glue as it is a hard back cover :)
On another tutorial she used (a tip from a second clay artist) an acrylic block on the texture rollers to keep the pressure even. Hope this helps you to make other wonderful projects to share with others. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment Kathy. I'll certainly keep that in mind. I also saw your comment about lighting, yes! Sometimes it's awful! Especially for close ups! It's a working progress & the video im currently filming, is not only looking better for lighting, its better for close ups. Thanks for the hint :)
Thank you Nancy! I baked at 75C / 167F for 25 minutes. At thr time I had a gas oven, so had to check on it. Electric is better - more of an even temp. If you have a gas oven just keep an eye on it. If you make it, I would love to see how it turned out! 😁
I struggled alot with my lighting on this one, only realised when it was uploaded how bad it was! I'm not new to clay, but new to filming, bare with me!
@@hermiendebeer9839 if you're in the UK I recommend loctite superglue. Gorilla glue is terrible- it seems to slip around and not stick!) If you're in the US I'm not sure what's available thats good with polymer clay that you could easily get. But if you can get loctite superglue it's a big reccommend from me :) There is a great polymer clay group on Facebook called HOP! hooked on polymer. I think alot of ladies are from the US on that site & they may be able to help you with what's available there 😁
@@GailJonesPCC thank you so much!!! I am from South Africa but we have loctite here! So that would then work great! Thank you so much for your advice!!!
Thank you Christine. Yes it is dark and fast unfortunately. The video was done some time ago, when I was learning editing skills- you can slow the video down with YT controls, if that helps.
So clever!
Thank you so much Julie! ❤️

Thank you! Yes, this video I did many years ago- I show alot more detail now 😁
Fabulous! Thank you very, very much!
You're very welcome!
Lovely work! In the beginning, I couldn't see what you were doing but then around midway you fixed the lighting. Thanks for showing!

So much fun watching your creative process! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Deborah! ❤️
I really enjoyed your development of the key. Very helpful!!
Thank you, I have a strange obsession with old fashioned keys! 😁
Beautiful piece of art. Thanks for sharing it.
thank you ! :)
Beautiful thank you for such a fun tutorial. 💜💕💜
Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed & thanks for watching 🥰
Love the tutorial... Thank you... Question... What glue do you use to glue the design unto the sketch book?
I use either superglue or a hot glue gun, it really does depend on the book. (Thickness/ style- the superglue could bleed through the front page of book if it is thin) For this one, I used super glue as it is a hard back cover :)
What a wonderful tutorial!! Thank you!
But you left out what you "glued" it to the journal with.... White glue? UHU?? Elfy?? Or something else??
You're welcome! To glue the design to the book, I used loctite superglue 😁

Your work is stunning ! What temperature do you bake and the length of time?

Do you wear a mask when working with mica powders? I hope so. They get in your lungs. ❤❤❤I'm excited to see this lock . Thank you for sharing.
I use mica power very sparingly, the brand I use now is great just for artists, I have a well ventilated area. Thanks for watching! ❤️
What do you use to adhere to book?
I just used superglue 😁
Can't see it when you hold it up to the camera 🤔
I struggled alot with my lighting on this one, only realised when it was uploaded how bad it was! I'm not new to clay, but new to filming, bare with me!
did u baked it
Yes I baked it, glued it on the book after
Hi! Rookie here 🤣 how do you stick the clay onto the book?
I use super glue after it's baked :)
@@GailJonesPCC thank you so much! My Christmas present project!!

Maybe for the next video could shine a light cuz it's very difficult to see the designs because it's so dark.
Yes! I've learned a lot since this video - thanks for feedback & for watching 😁
This video is so fast. Sometimes, I can't tell where you are putting the clay. Very dark. Saw the final piece. Nice work.
