Happy holidays Sarah 🎄Thank you for your ideas & sharing them with us ☃️ I always enjoy listening to your calming voice ❄️ Your son’s ginger house is delightful 🤶🏻 Have peace, love & joy this holiday 🕊️🩵
Always enjoying watching your video's! You are such an inspiration for creating and sharing the love for air dry clay. You've truely made me a fan too, loving it!! I' ve made some of your lovely christmas projects and they are hanging in our tree now😊 This adorable ginger house bread is definitaly another one to try out too. The snow is absolutely gorgeous looking! Thank you Sarah, have a wonderful and jolly Christmas season with your family!🌟
I absolutely love this. Happy Christmas to you and your family. Your son’s gingerbread house is beautiful. I love when young people do the the houses and decorated cookies. 😊❤
@@RedRockingBird give him a hug. I have 3 boys ( grandsons as I have 3 grown daughters 50, 46 and 37) that I love dearly. I did such things with them when they were little, girls, 2, and boys. So much fun.
The shopping is all done, decorations are up and presents are under the tree and when I saw this I had to get the clay out to make a start on next years projects..lol Wishing you and your family a wonderful Xmas and New Year X
Oh sorry, I wasn’t very clear. I’ve sanded polymer clay objects after baking them many times, usually to create a super smooth finish. It creates a fine dust that could be mixed with glue or sprinkled on like you are doing with air dry clay dust. Although on the whole, the air dry clay dust is probably less toxic, and would have a more chalky consistency that would be ideal for snow. I really enjoy your channel!
These are absolutely beautiful, you are very talented. I love making handmade decorations at christmas time, you have inspired me to have a go with air dried clay
This is beautiful and your illustrations are fab! I wonder if you would ever do a little video on your illustrations? Tips and tricks, or just the basics? I'd say I'm a intermediate drawer but do tend to stick to the basics, especially on clay! x
Thank you. On my last video th-cam.com/video/1dtGPMKDXRI/w-d-xo.html I talked a bit more while illustrating the mouse and in other videos I talk more about illustration too th-cam.com/video/kOLcCoJba14/w-d-xo.html I’m sure your skills are amazing, just keep doing what you love 😊
Sara, you always inspire. I'm frustrated as I've had elbow surgery and I'm restricted on movement! I just want to get creating now.. maybe I can get a head start on next year's decorations!!!! 😂😂
Thank you and best wishes for a speedy recovery, this was me thinking what clay projects to show next Christmas and then using this one now, so never too early 😜 Best wishes for a lovely Christmas 🎄
@@RedRockingBird thankyou Sara for your well wishes, I've all my equipment ready to go! Hope you have a joyous Christmas and a prosperous New year x love from South Cumbria
Great video as usual! If you are looking for new products to test out 🙃...I have recently discovered an Ukrainian brand ( Fabrika Decoru) with sells very interesting stuff. They have got all sorts of paints but 2 of them may be great for clay: Rustic paint (acrylic with a lot of texture! waterproof and for both interior and outdoor projects! doesn't need sealing!!and has a bit of sheen..there is concrete colour too!...the other one is Shabby Velour paint, also textured but less than rustic and matte!, it doesn't need primer and sticks to plastic and everything etc. Both have gorgeous colours, and would work great on vases, trinkets, sculptures. I have managed to find them in the UK, Hobbilicious which is a trusted craft shop, have them in stock. I absolutely hate varnishing so this is so exciting😂 Happy holidays btw🎉
Question: I have a new pack of clay that has been in storage for 1 1/2 yrs. When I press it, though firm it still gives and I feel that I'll be able to work with it. Sometimes, I'm concerned that when I buy a pack of clay, either in store or online, that it will be too old and too hard (expired?) for me to use. Are my concerns unfounded and how long does a new pack last unopened? You are the only air dry clay artist that I follow. You are so thorough that I don't even have a desire to seek out any others.💛
Hi, I found a few packs of DAS air dry clay in my Dads garage a couple of years ago and they must have been there for years, more than 5, and they were still perfectly sealed and when I opened them they were exactly as they would have been if I’d just bought them, so hopefully yours are the same. If not as soft as you would like, out the opened block in another sealed bag with a couple of teaspoons of water and leave to soak in for a few days, but hopefully you won’t have to. Thanks for watching 😊❤️ best of luck
Adorable 🎄👏💕
Thank you 🎄🥰⭐️
Love this idea! You have a very clever mind! A beautiful mind 😁! How awesome that your son has the same mind! Merry Christmas to you and yours!😊🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

Beautiful. I’ve actually thought of doing this with polymer clay dust, but this would work better, I think.
Thank you, I must try this with polymer clay, you should too although I don’t think I’ve ever sanded polymer…am I missing something? 🙈😂

Do you ever use ink stamps on clay?
Thank you too kind, yes I use ink stamps on clay occasionally, it works well ❤️✨

What fine brush do you use please
something cheap and cheerful like this amzn.to/3NXFs9D is fine but I do like the graduate range and these are good amzn.to/3YMvfDs
