@clayitnow 👋Good Saturday April 22, 2023 morning!!! Thank you for the clay recipe and your additional revisions and tips!!! I am so excited to start making the clay, to use to create the adorable little fairy houses you made in the first video, of yours, that I saw a few days ago. I fell, INSTANTLY, in love with them and decided that they were going to be my Summer craft project (it is farrrrrrr too hot🥵🥵, here in the Arizona desert, to be outside). I will actually be looking forward to Summer, this year,😉 because of this fabulous craft project. I kid, nobody looks forward to 112°-118°F. Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your talents and tips with us!!!😊😊😊 Have a Blessed and Beautiful day/night/weekend 🌞/🌜✨️⭐️🌟⭐️✨️🌐 everyone!!!

Great tips :) as a user of this clay I like the method of connecting dry to dry parts when making a project though it really takes time but worth it. 😊

I didnt even notice it😂😂 And english is my first language. There's always weird people that search for something to complain about:)

[@sveva87]

Se ho capito bene da questo video è come rigenerare l' argilla secca? Scusami ma non conosco poco l' inglese... ho studiato solo il francese. Comunque ugualmente grazie mille per avere condiviso il video. Buona giornata 🥰🙏

[@SathyaRavi46sathya]

Hola, yo soy principiante en ésto de las masillas y sólo he hecho una, la de "Porcelana Yobi" de Yobanka, una española, (Canal de Yobanka Arts) y ésa me quedó perfecta para el trabajo que hice hace más de un año que nunca se agrietó ni se encogió o redujo, y también queda muy dura como hueso! tampoco se hornea y es de secado al aire normal, y se puede colorear, al final se le pone barniz, intentaré hacer con ésa masilla uno de tus proyectos y ya te comento al respecto. Pero también haré tu masilla que también se ve genial!!! muchas gracias por tus preciosos proyectos y videos, estoy enamorada de todos!!! jajjaaa espero algún día poder tener un jardín de casitas de hadas! poco a poco jajjaaa... gracias, gracias y más gracias! Saludos y Bendiciones desde Chiapas, México. Besos.

[@iammeandyouaremeable]

Thank you for all these tips. I'm a beginner and wondering if I can make a planter with this clay and do you have tips on how to waterproof it?

[@clayitnow]

Thanks for your visit. You cna make planter with clay but you can't use ceramic technique because it not not waterproof though you use material to waterproof it the clay can't take soil. So, you have to use plastic container or jar for planter and use the clay for decorations. I make planter video like this one:kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3OvipSeotqeeMk Or in my website for your ideas: www.clay-it-now.com/giraffeplanter.html

[@iammeandyouaremeable]

Aww you are so sweet taking time to reply. I will watch all your videos and maybe I can make my own fairy garden with succulents and cacti and show it to you.

[@jkstattoo7306]

Is wet clay waterproof?

[@lakshmivs7596]

Flour base no cooking air dry clay. Will it not get mould or fungus if we don't add vinegar or salt?

[@clayitnow]

Yes. Eventhough with vinegar, wet clay will still moldy after sometimes. So, don't keep it too long. But, dry clay specially after sealer will not moldy.

[@musicmelon4618]

How do i keep the clay clean? Its picks up every piece of dust even if i wash my hands clean. Dealing with white clay is too hard

[@clayitnow]

Yes agree. Would you wear gloves?

[@musicmelon4618]

@@clayitnow nop. Its hard to work with gloves on. I take a piece of clay and wipe my hands, table and tools with it. It's helpful. But still its hard to keep the clay completely clean.

[@heenal_artstyler]

If d clay is little sticky can I apply oil on floor on which I roll d clay Or any other suggestion?

[@clayitnow]

If the clay too soft/ sticky, put it in the fridge and it will be harder.

[@heenal_artstyler]

@@clayitnow k.thanks How much time before I need to remove from fridge for working with it

[@alicemoore4982]

Thank you, Have you made jewelry with this clay ?

[@clayitnow]

Yes, I've done jewelry with homemade clay too but you need to use varnish or few layers modpodge to protect your piece.

[@keerthieekajeyakumaran3846]

Hi what are the reason of air dry clay getting rubber texture during cooking time .and after finished clay cooking it looks like rubber

[@clayitnow]

Are you referring to homemade clay with cornstarch base or flour base?

[@keerthieekajeyakumaran3846]

clayitnow cornstarch

[@clayitnow]

I see.. You may have overcooked it🤔 anyway.. I am used to my flour base air dry clay - no cooking😊

[@keerthieekajeyakumaran3846]

[@clayitnow]

No worries😊

[@mariemorgana5186]

English.... Do people bother any more to get someone to proofread? Info is good but shame about the language. Same in comments...

[@clayitnow]

Thanks for your comment. I will take time to improve on your concern. But, sometimes love and passion for crafts go beyond the language. And I appreciate any comments from anyone from any part of the world where English may not be the first language. I don’t mind about the languages used in the comment as long as we understand and respect each other. Have a nice day :)

[@lillianmaynard6867]

Thanks for such a good video. This video is made to help people. But of course you have people that think they are the grammar police. Seriously people get a life. Who cares it's about helping people that can learn from someone else.
