Fun, Deb, Fun!!! Making a mess playing with clay is PURE JOY! That is what it is all about! I also make a BIG, FUN MESS in my "clay room" and enjoy it immensely! AND it is even more fun doing it to videos like yours. Seriously, thanks for really good videos. You are so talented.
I'm not only messing with my art A.D.D. projects, I'm not a great housekeeper ever. LOL! First video I've seen of yours and as someone who is having a blast with polymer clay jewelry for the first time the last few weeks, I am so glad to have happened upon your channel! I love laid back, long, process video artists. #newsub!
Super cool as usual! Love that bubble effect!! If you think you are messy, I do not, you should see my desk after just a few minutes of claying, lol! 😘💞💞✌✌✌
Your videos and talents are amazing. I've ordered supplies from the US (to NZ), so I hope to receive them in time to make something from your video on NYE/NYD. I love the chippy choppy ones!
Just discovered your channel and oh my what a beautiful piece!! Mokume gane is my favorite technique and I was so excited to see you use it here. Your color use is exquisite and I love the druzy effect. Fantastic tutorial Brava! 👏👏👏✌️❤️
They are fantastic! Gorgeous pieces, Deb! I love them, my creativity has been stalled lately and I was fooling around with many of the same ingredients you featured here today but failing miserably at everything I attempted but now you have given me something to try yet mine never come out as beautifully as your do! I love your new pinch bails and I will definitely be going to you amazon affiliate link again! The dangly on the bottoms are such a nice finishing touch! Thanks again!!
Hey Kids! The last several tutes have been extra special!!! Not that all of them aren't. But, isn't it time to appreciate the tute maker?? I don't think you can get this kind of content without paying for it, so let's all chip in!?!?😘😘😘💞💞💞✌✌✌
I also work on paper, depending on what I’m making. In this instance, paper would not have been a suitable surface, as I was cutting the shape by hand and it needed to adhere to the tile.
I love this Faux Ocean Jasper. I have to say, I looked up Ocean Jasper and there are so many color variations pictured. This will give people wanting to make this so many ideas for color. I do like the blue colors because it reminds me of the Pacific Coast where I grew up. Deb, you could make the whole world shine if you wanted to! Fantastic pieces, absolutely fantastic.
Thanks for all your hard work, Deb! You deserve all the good things in life for bringing such beauty into the world with your art and your personality xx
Hi Deb, I can't believe I keep missing your tutorials lately. I'm so glad I've been able to see this tutorial, it is beautiful. Thank you for showing us with step-by-step video. This is gorgeous. Get Yr gp to check your B12 - you could be very low? I was told I was dangerously low about ten years ago - when I forgot my surname. I have B12 jabs every 8 weeks. It helps, but I need more, so I top up with B12 tablets. In the USA, they give weekly jabs. Maybe you have gad it checked? I hope I can catch up with your videos - my 4 year old smart phone is getting bad. I can't afford another. Oh well. Take care and hope to see you soon. xx❤
oh my goodness i absolutely love this piece!! i needto try and make one or something similar with those colors, i'm so inspired watching you! thank you for sharing your talent!!!
Love!! I went to your Amazon storefront to buy a few things, and I didn't see the glass thingy that you used to dome your piece. I am putting that on my "must have" list. 🙂
I am a huge fan of your work Deb, LOVE all the faux stones you make. I especially love that subtle shine you get with sanding/buffing, it can’t be replicated by any varnish IMO. The only problem is, I followed your technique to the letter and mine don’t even come close to any sort of shine. The most I get is a subtle ‘sheen’ I guess you could say. Can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong…🤔
If you’re not using metallic or pearlescent clays, the shine isn’t going to be so vibrant. Other than that, I couldn’t tell you what you might be doing differently.
So beautiful and different to the usual shapes. Could you put a link in for the Aussie site that sells the similar cutters like ojoy creations please, as I'm in NZ, ta chuck
Thank you. You can see all my stuff on Instagram, atm. Clayboutique_1970. I have JUST set up an online shop, and will begin listing things, soon. I’ll post a link when it’s ready.
Your clay is crumbly because you added so much mica powder. It dilutes the plasticizers in the clay. It may also be a bit brittle after baking. It turned out very pretty!
No, it wasn’t crumbly because of the mica powder, and I didn’t add too much. The clay was old, and already crumbly. No, it wasn’t brittle when I had baked it, it was slightly flexible, as it should be.
In actual fact, it was the backing clay that I said was ‘dry and old,’ and that didn’t even have any mica powder in it. You can clearly see that the clay with the mica powder in it, is soft and supple with it being conditioned to mix in the color…
I’m actually not sure where you got the info that mica powders ‘dilute the plasticizers.’ I’m pretty well versed in the function of polymer clay, and the Blue Bottle Tree has been my Bible for years. Just FYI, this was on Blue Bottle Tree’s site: NIKA FEBRUARY 24, 2019 AT 2:38 PM I use Premo Gold for lots of things, including mica shift. I was wondering if you can further enhance the effect by adding more mica powder to the clay. Does that help with the image? Will it enhance the effect but make the baked clay more brittle? I’d appreciate hearing from someone who has tried this. GINGER DAVIS ALLMAN FEBRUARY 25, 2019 AT 8:47 PM You can add more mica, yes. It shouldn’t make it more brittle. (Well, it will if you add so much that the clay is too stiff for the powder to mix in adequately. I have created mica/pearl clays by adding mica powders to trans many times and it does work. But it doesn’t always give a good mica shift effect. It’s not the density of the mica that matters, it’s the size of the particles. And Premo gold already has very good mica shift effect.
@clayboutique Just my opinion, based on what I saw. These are comments, and I'm sure you've gotten a few that were way more negative than mine. You put a lot of energy into defending your process here. Maybe you could just dismiss what you don't agree with? It might bring you a bit more peace. If you're satisfied with your work, that's all that matters!
I’m totally satisfied with my work, but you didn’t give your opinion, it was a statement. It was a false statement, at that. You’re assuming I saw your comment as a negative - I didn’t, but I felt a full explanation was necessary, to which you seem offended. Misinformation needs to be corrected, especially as how there are so many beginners watching. Correct, this is the comment section. People comment, I respond. Would you have liked it if I totally dismissed you? I guess I can’t win, either way. Have a blessed day!
I've been following you for a long time and I do almost all of your tutorials, you're very good, can I put the photos on Facebook saying it's in your video?
Properly cured clay SHOULD be flexible, otherwise it will be brittle and snap. As a rule of thumb, I bake longer than what it tells you on the package, usually an hour, and not lower than the temperature that is stated on the package. Check your oven temp with a thermometer. Under cured clay will break.
I wish I could afford sending you a buck or 2 but retirement isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be. 😢 I have 3bucks and payday is 2 weeks away. It sucks. Anyway this is a beautiful pendant flat and curved. Fantastic. Tfs hugs
Oh, please don’t worry about it. I don’t really like asking for money, but it’s not free for me to do these videos, so every little helps. You’re supporting me, just by watching! Thank you ❤

Just stunning - love it. Its so beautiful and those colours - wow! Thank you and have a wonderful day.
Absolutely gorgeous 🙏🏻😊. The bottoms of soda cans cut off work well for doming slightly smaller pieces too.
Pop cans do work well. Not sure I need them, though. You can dome smaller pieces on the glass thing I’ve got, too.
I love, love, love this project! The colors, the druzy and the little gemstone chips dangle are perfect! Thank you so much for sharing!
Oh Deb, I am in love 💕 Gorgeous!!

I could’ve sworn I added it! Anyway, it’s there, now. Thanks for letting me know!
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen them at the dollar store and Hobby Lobby’s candle section. I do have that doming metal tool that has different sizes.
So beautiful! I love watching your channel the most so far, I appreciate how down to earth you are. I'm a messy B myself hahaha

What kind of a machine you use to mix the color. Is it just a regular pasta machine? This is very beautiful!
Thank you!
Yes a pasta machine, but I use an Atlas 150. It’s listed in my Amazon storefront, linked in the description.
I've been following you for a long time and I do almost all of your tutorials, you're very good, can I put the photos on Facebook saying it's in your video?
Yes, please do 💕
@@clayboutique thank you
When you baked the piece the first time, did you lay it over something domed?
Yes. I said so in the video, and I showed what I domed it on, too…
@@clayboutique sorry I missed it. Half the time I had to turn the video on silent. I'll rewatch it
I am new to polymer clay and am wondering how thick you make your pieces
I say in all my videos what thickness I roll the clay on my pasta machine.
How long do you bake the clay in order to have it still be flexable ?😊
thebluebottletree.com/baking-polymer-clay/
Properly cured clay SHOULD be flexible, otherwise it will be brittle and snap. As a rule of thumb, I bake longer than what it tells you on the package, usually an hour, and not lower than the temperature that is stated on the package. Check your oven temp with a thermometer. Under cured clay will break.
@@clayboutique I thought that the longer you baked the clay, the harder it became???
I answered your question. Read the link I posted to you.
Flexible doesn’t mean soft.
❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Thank you
Vevry very naice
What do you call the cording your using on this.
Ribbon and cord necklace. Link in description in my Amazon storefront.
@@clayboutique thanks I've been looking for it.
Did you find them?
