I’m a huge fan of elongated hearts, but can’t find my materials that I bought some thirty years ago, and love the feel of shaping (sculpting) clay by hand. You totally rock! It’s the first time watching, and the patina brought me here. Anyhow, new sub! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise so freely!
I think it was a beautiful copper heart not a fail. When it was white it actually reminded me of a shark tooth. Maybe you could show us how to shape, texture and colour some shark teeth ?
I LOVE hearts so definitely not a fail. I believe with the Swellegant products it pays to put a prep coat on first then when dry add your main colour, copper etc and while still moist then add some patina and it starts to react giving it that antique aged look. Christi Friesen put a video out through Fire mountain gems but I’m pretty sure it’s still on YT.
when clay comes out of the oven and is still warm, is it somewhat soft? I want to press some charms into the clay and I am wondering if I should do it before or after the oven.
Leslie Hanson, from what I’ve learned clay is at its most vulnerable at this point, in danger of cracking. It’s best to leave it to cool, unbothered, in the oven. I’ve had great results following this advice. Happy claying! 😊

With Swellegant, you have to put a light coat then apply the patina while the metal paint is damp for the process to happen. I like your heart!
Thank you for this
I enjoyed this very much and also feel inspired. ❤

Do it before baking

@happyplacestudioi think this would entirely depend on the type of charm. As in what material is the charm made out of?
