Oh my god thank you for using respirator and gloves. I’ve seen so many channels today that don’t use any protection and have resin poured over their fingers.. Insane! Epoxy is extremely dangerous. In the EU it is required by law that you get an education to use the stuff. Thanks for staying safe.
I watched several videos before trying out making my own clay things and using resin, and I think @tammydinh (Uncomfy) was the first one I saw mention PPE, and then I researched uv resin and found you do indeed need to be safe when using it! I haven't had any headaches or anything from using it like I've heard other people say they experienced. I wish more people took their health more seriously! It's not the most comfortable thing wearing a respirator and gloves but it's a must to be safe :]
This video has the best tips I've seen so far, and I've watched several similar videos. Thanks for sharing your expertise, I appreciate it.
Thanks so much! 😊
They're so cute! I love them
hehe, thank you!
your video is so insightful, thank you for taking us through your process! ❤
Thank you! I'm happy to hear that :]
I enjoyed this video because you shared your honest process and it was engaging and worth a watch. I enjoyed your style of video making and your desire to make everything your own, you have your methods and regardless of perfectionism or not, the effort, your effort is appreciated in making and sharing. Thanks.
Thank you! Glad you found it nice to watch and enjoyed it! 💚
Loved that! Really learnt a lot and can't wait to give it a try myself 😻🎃
Yay! Glad you were able to learn from it! Happy sculpting!
The pins & magnets are BEAUTIFUL! Thank you for sharing!💗😊
Yay! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the video 🖤 I'm itching to make some new magnets for a future shop update!
Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to do more clay this year!! 🎉😁💚
Thanks! Looking forward to making some new things for a spring shop update!!
Ive read somewhere that it's easier to use silicone brush to even out when putting resin, easier to clean using acetone. Haven't tried it yet though.
I prefer using a soft brush, but I haven't tried the acetone yet! :]
Hermosos diseños! Gracias por compartir tu talento y conocimiento.😸
fantastic tutorial, i love it ❤❤❤
aww, thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful and useful video, thank you! I'm just getting started with polymer clay, so it was really interesting to see the whole process. I'm also trying to work with acrylic paints, it's so difficult! :0 I'm glad that youtube recs led me to your channel :з
Glad you liked it! Using acrylic paint is a little more difficult I think! Thinning it with water helps, but often means more than one coat is needed. I'd like to try out gouache paints sometime! They look better for things like this :]
They turned out so good.
Thank you! 😊 🙌
Wow- thanks for sharing your process! This looks way more promising than me trying with Fimo 😊
Also (additional commy): Artists sharing their process and supporting each other is so heartwarming and helpful for me to see!
Glad you liked the video! 💜
how do you not have more subscribers! super loved this video and your content!
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it :]
This video is super helpful. I noticed your Moon River brewing glass. You must be in Savannah. Me too!
How hard are your finished pieces? Is it normal for sculpted to have some bend to it?😊
haha, the glass was actually a gift! But I'm in Georgia, closer to Atlanta :] I'd like to visit Savannah though, it seems nice! I use polymer clay by Sculpey, and no, it is not normal to have some bend to it. At least not once it is fully cooled after baking. Right when you take it out of the oven it might be a little flexible, but it hardens up when it cools. Hope that helps!
I make polymer clay jewelry too! I never leave my work to bake the next day, accident prone lol so the odds are they would be messed up! Lol ps you can use acetone one they’ve been baked instead of alcohol, that’s what I do cause you don’t have to be so gentle cause it won’t ruin the shape.
It's a bit of a risk if you don't bake the clay immediately once they are done, but I'm confident I won't mess them up if I wait till the next day to bake them. I'll have to try the acetone next time! Thanks!
@@brittanysalzone lol not me. I have 3 kiddos and we’re all accident prone. 😫🤣 one of us will ruin my work. Your work is super cute btw.
Hi! I was wondering if you ever tried having magnets imbedded inside the clay so that is hidden (I want to make two keychains that magnetically attaches). I'm new to clay and wanted to surprise my long-distance partner with something ;-; This video has been pretty helpful so far, so many thanks!
I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it's possible! I'd probably stamp the magnet into the soft clay prior to baking, so the magnet sits in the clay nicely. Just don't bake the magnet in the oven with the clay! Haha. If you did this method, you'd have to make sure your clay is pretty flat and smooth though, if it's uneven it might make the magnet not connect well to a metal surface. Hope that helps!
@@brittanysalzone Oh wait that's honestly very smart! If I were to cover the magnet with the clay, it'll probably not work as well I'm assuming? But regardless, thank you so much for the reply! I'll try it right away !!
yeah! I wouldn't recommend covering the magnet, it would loose its strength!
I did not know the rubbing alcohol trick
Glad you learned something new!
@@brittanysalzone the pins turned out so beautiful
Thank you so much! 😊
Very nice video!! Informative and inspiring :) I am having trouble with cleaning up the edges without distorting the shape of my clay. Any recommendations?
Thanks! I'd recommend letting the clay rest for an hour, it could be a little too soft from the warmth of your hands. So let it get a little cooler, and it should firm up a bit, making it easier to clean up the edges!
@@brittanysalzone Thanks for the advice! I will give that a try :)
I would love each one so much,that I couldn't sell them😂
Haha! I struggle to part ways with some of them!
What is that black tool you were smoothing out the clay with?
I used various clay sculpting tools, but the black ones are Sculpey Tools brand, their duel end detail pack of 3. Hope that helps! 💜
Is that a air dry clay or poly ??
I use Original Sculpey oven-bake clay, which is a polymer clay :]
@@brittanysalzone oh okay but can we make it with air dry clay??
@eyeecandy1520 you can! It's a bit more difficult to get a smooth, flat piece though, but it's an option if you don't have polymer clay :]
@@brittanysalzone ill try it thank u ❤️
I wanna make my clan pins business but im a boy is that fine?
This is genuinely the best clay pin art I've seen! In terms of the glue to use to attach the pin backings, is that a brand you fully recommend? I was considering using E6000 as I'm always having the pin backing rip off with a little bit of pressure🥲
Yes I would recommend it! I haven't had any issues so far with either my clay magnets or pins. And I love that the glue doesn't have a strong smell! My pins have an extra layer of strength to the backing because I cover the pin backing with resin after the glue has cured. The E6000 is a popular one I've seen used a lot for things like this but I haven't personally used it.
@@brittanysalzone ah I see, thank you so much! I’ll definitely be watching your videos more often for inspiration 🫶
