Made a little video.

This desk friend lamp was for trying out, but I love how it turned out, but there is still room for improvements.

I really wanted to see how a friend desk would look using a mini lamp inside the apple. Iโ€™ll definitely will use/ experience with it more, with my other clay creations.๐Ÿ’ก

Help!!! I'm having a crisis with my Halloween costume which I need to get done TODAY!! It's already glued to the head so I can't remake the antlers, and I just need help on a fix for this cracking please!!! They're heavy pieces and the clay keeps cracking on them. What do I do!! I need a quick fix if possible to make it sturdier. I keep patching up the cracks with hot glue but it can't be long term. I'm using fimo air.

How can I create these shapes using air dry clay? What's the easiest way to get the rounded off shape? I have never used the Das brand before and would appreciate any tips and tricks! I also bought posca pens to paint them with.

Questions For jewelry makers, how do you prepare holes for jump rings?

2 Upvotes

Like for example when you make earrings. Do you do it before the clay dries, or drill holes in with tools after the clay dries? And what tools do you use? Is a usb powered one better than a pin vise ?

Polymer-Clay Felt inspired today, modeled Mr. Mime but now it need's a friend

12 Upvotes

First time trying clay-modeling turned out to be really fun!

I know Mr. Mime looks super wonky but I kind of like how it turned out.

Bought some semi-glossy varnish, tried it on some smaller things and personally I find the raw aesthetic really good

Is there anything that's an absolute must-have for modeling?

I'm really open to criticism! :)

Questions Why is my paint cracking?

Post image
4 Upvotes

Made a little clay charm, paint was fine until I used glaze varnish. Anyone know what I should do differently? Is there a reason this happens? When I use my shitty Apple barrel acrylic paint it doesnโ€™t do this, but I need the markers because I need to draw small markings on my pieces!

MATERIALS:
WITOROR Water based clay glaze
VOKART acrylic paint markers
BLUEBIRD Studio acrylic Gesso primer
SCULPEY oven-bake clay

Started exploring the world of sculpting recently and damn it's even more fun than I thought it'd be (and surprisingly relaxing even when stuff cracks or the armature wire won't behave the way u want it to). Anyway, happy to be joining this community and checking out what y'all make as well

I run a small clay business on Instagram, and this is how I pack my orders! I add a little thank-you card, cat meme stickers, cute washi tapes and all that stuff because why not lol.

I've been wanting to make my packaging even cuter, but sales have been a bit slow lately, so I'm holding off on spending more on it for now. Maybe once things pick up a little, I'll get to do all the things I've been planning.

But yeah, what do you guys think? Is this cute enough or is there something I could do better?

Questions Halloween models

2 Upvotes

Hi! I want to try making some halloween decorations. I had in mind making a tealight candle holder and little ghost models. I need advice on where to start. I have no professional equipment just a normal electric oven. I'm happy to buy some things but not about to drop a ton of money on a kiln. I feel like the more I google, the more confused I get.

From what I gathered so far, air dry clay is bad with heat, so that's a no for a tealight. If that is the case, is there an alternative? Also, any recommendations for paint I can then use on it? Or a glaze that doesn't need a kiln? Or even something that gives that same glazed effect but without glaze?

Happy for any advice at all!! (UK based if that helps anything) thanks!

Polymer-Clay Statement earrings with layered gold details

Post image
11 Upvotes

Statement pieces are very much at the heart of what I make, and this pair leans into that completely. I combined white polymer clay with deep blue, magenta, scattered gold leaf, and layered gold findings to create something bold, sculptural, and full of movement. I like designs that feel visually strong without becoming clumsy, so balance matters just as much as colour and detail. The oversized rings give the pair a sense of rhythm, while the fragmented colour keeps each earring slightly different. This is exactly the kind of experimenting I enjoy most: dramatic, handmade, and unapologetically individual every time.

Air-Dry Clay Another project :)

Iโ€™m not sure if anyone remembers me but I showed you guys my first clay project (check my account to see I donโ€™t post a lot so it wonโ€™t be far down lol) and now Iโ€™m back with my second clay project hooray!

my first clay project was a thing for my boyfriend and so is this second one lol, itโ€™s not done yet but itโ€™s supposed to be a Pompompurin drink coaster and i think its pretty good but iโ€™m not too sure on the face placement, i did cut out some eyes and a mouth but they didnโ€™t look right, maybe I wonโ€™t give him a face at all ๐Ÿ˜ฉ there was also a bit of cracking in the clay on his hat when it was dry but Iโ€™m HOPING that it will be fine and if it falls off Iโ€™ll just glue it๐Ÿ˜”
