My issue with molding clay exactly to something is the shrinkage so, when dry/baked the hole is too small for it to fit. Does polymer clay not shrink a teensy bit when baked?🤔🤷🏼♀️
@SandyHuntress5 күн бұрын
Polymer clays shrinks a minuscule amount, generally it’s negligible.

If coloring many pieces in bulk can you bake them to set the colors?

There’s no need to bake to set the colors, they are permanent on metal after drying.

Depends what you are trying to accomplish. Thread is going to drape and dangle, whereas wire can be shaped into the position you want.

Hi, great video. One question here, when you put the clay in the oven, nothing happens to the Crystals? And what about the metal. You put all together in the oven? They stick one with the other?
@SandyHuntress28 күн бұрын
The oven is at such a low temperature that it does not affect the glass or metal. Glass melts at around 1500°F and metal at an even higher temp, so no worries about baking them at 275°F!

Are the coil ends supposed to be smashed flat? I thought they were supposed to stay round but maybe Im wrong. Please if you can clarify🙏

Yes, you have to squash down the coils. That’s the only way for them to hold onto the cord. You can just flatten the end few coils, but the more you flatten the more secure the hold will be.

@SandyHuntressАй бұрын
I don't know that polymer clay would be the best material for a shape like that. The deep hole would be problematic. Or you could try making a mold with pourable silicone, then use a pourable materials to make a cast.
@EriAikawadiaryАй бұрын
@@SandyHuntress thank you so much for your insight! I was debating on silicone molds and resin. but I heard resin is toxic? I might make the holes of the boots a little shallow and maybe stick a peg in it and also use a peg in the cast while I mold the boots. does that make sense?

Instead of mixing the powder in the clay, have you thought of brushing then on your clay? Especially matching the color of the powder to the color of the glow in the dark clay? You may get a different result.

Hello. This is great, but I see a problem: the gaps in the smaller washers. Hair might get caught in there. Probably would. i did not see any step to close that small cut. Do you press the circle closed to close the gap? Soldering would be really difficult, and mess up the look. Could a drop of glue be put in the gap, and sanded down to be smooth?
@SandyHuntress2 ай бұрын
The best way to close it is like you would a jump ring. if you can wiggle the cut ends to meet tightly the jewelry should be secure.
