Thank you for always being o transparent on this channel. As a woman in her late 30's with ADHD, I have NEVER felt like someone was taking the words right out of my head! For you it's shoes and for me it's my tablet, I carry it so I can "work". I've lost the entire day because I decided to paint my nails really quick, now I think I'm a nail tech sculpting little ghost when I have an event this Saturday! -__- To my fellow crafters be gentle with ourselves this doesn't have to be our Superbowl every year lol Play some music and light a candle idk gl XoxO

Thank you so much for the great advice on the purchasing of tools and clay for all of us complete novices. I do wonder if a colored clay ( such as gray) and also a white or tan version would be adequate for making small animals like your elephant or perhaps baby birds. I am pretty good at mixing basic colors like I used in painting plaster figurines back in the day. So I would definitely buy the better quality paint in fewer colors. I’ve seen Temu’s small beginners clay crafting items for less than $10.00 that includes the rubber tool and the small ball tool , etc…would that be worth the money? Also would using powered eye shadow work for giving cheeks color before baking or is painting the better choice?
@clayalongcreations 2 ай бұрын
@@terrieseverson6346 I’m so glad this could help 😊 I would definitely just get a couple colors of clay and mix them to start off and you can definitely come up with tons of things you can make with the same couple blocks of clay. Also, any cheap tools work well. You do not have to spend much on tools. Put your money in the clay and paint. And I definitely prefer the eye shadow for giving blush accents over paint. I wish I would have thought of that to add to the video. That’s a great tip
@arealworm 2 ай бұрын
For animals I find using white clay and coloring (pre-baked) with chalk pastels does very well too. It creates a softer fur-like appearance.
@clayalongcreations 2 ай бұрын
@@arealworm I do that as well. It’s a good strategy and if you’re going to invest money into making polymer clay a consistent hobby then this will work well for a softer, more delicate look. This video was more about being a complete beginner and trying it out for the first time. If you don’t like it or it’s not your choice hobby then it’s good to not put a ton of money into it when first starting out. These are tips on how to start off with as little money as possible… but thanks for the feedback. I’ll definitely have to show this technique in a video soon
