Just what I have been looking for. I bought stained glass orchid at a price. Wanted to make from clay...and here you got there before me! Big thank you. A pansy flower would be lovely!

[@RedRockingBird]

Aw thank you, enjoy 😊

[@marlenejones6266]

I know it would be difficult but i adore daffodils......wouldn't be possible im sure as they have the ruffly petals. But a cone flower is lovely too. Im so amazed by your abilities. You have talents beyond anyone i have watched. Thank you so much for thie orchid tutorial. May i tell you that your voice is so perfect for these videos. I have anxiety and let me tell you there are voices on KZbin that can peel paint off a wall. But i watch your videos and my brain calms and i relax. Hmmmm maybe i owe you for a therapy session? Lol

[@RedRockingBird]

Amazing,so happy to hear you enjoy my videos, I had no idea I had a calming voice till I started making videos a coupling years ago and people like yourself commented 🥰 thank you so very kind of you. Yes daffodils would be cute, and I’m sure possible ❤️ happy crafting

Oh my goodness I could hardly tell the real flower from your creations. You did an awesome job!

[@RedRockingBird]

Thanks so much 😊

[@sherryfoley9903]

I enjoyed this so very much. As a long time art instructor myself, I was so impressed with your teaching technique. Your voice is very soothing, your instructions are clear and precise, and you present the instructions in such a relaxed manner, ie you speak slowly enough that even beginners would be able to keep up, but not so slowly as to be boring. I’m really looking forward to watching many more of your videos. Thank you for your willingness to share.

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you Sherry, this is so lovely to hear, I love making my videos and it gives me even more encouragement when hearing comments like yours, it is very much appreciated, have a great day 😊

Thank you, you are very welcome, they are super delicate I know but in the lighter clay they work great and mine are still going strong, they just need a little dust every now and again, thank you, Sarah ❤️

[@swapnilgupta1607]

Absolutely beautiful. How did you connect all the orchids together. What is that green material used in the picture shown in the beginning of the tutorial?

[@AC-cg3bv]

Great to see how the clay works. You can use cake decorating tools and stamens/wires/veilers to make it faster/easier 🙂

[@RedRockingBird]

Great tips, thank you for adding 😊❤️

[@marianbrown4173]

So lovely and delicate.

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, yes super delicate, I really enjoyed this one ♥️

[@sherryfoley9903]

I would love to see you make a poppy. I know they’re simple, but they are so beautiful. Also, i have a niece who loves tulips. I would like to make a painting for her of tulips on canvas. What i have in mind is maybe a nine by twelve canvas. I want three tulips, placed at an angle from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. I want the tulips to be hmmm, i think one yellow, with the other two red, with touches of yellow in the center of the petals and at the top edges of the tulips. I see the stems as quite long, with maybe a single leaf. What i haven’t figured out yet is (1) should i make the tulips, then glue them on? Or do i attempt forming them directly onto the prepared canvas? I would love to see you do a demo on this. Thank you so much for considering my idea.

[@RedRockingBird]

Sounds like you have a plan, I personally would make them flat and then glue them on once dry so they are secure. Yes a poppy would’ve lovely too 😊 Thanks

[@MsDawnnee]

Flying Tiger do a brilliant air dry clay and it's really cheap!

[@RedRockingBird]

Oooo I’ve not heard of Flying Tiger, sounds like my kinda shop, thanks ❤️

Gorgeous! I wonder - have you ever created something using BOTH products?

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, certainly could, but I typically use one product at a time 😊 but I do like to explore yes 😁

[@melaniaodio8238]

Beautiful thank you. I want to know if Smarta dries hard? Thank you.

[@RedRockingBird]

Hard but a little flexible, thanks

[@fprleite]

[@fprleite]

@@RedRockingBird It was really nice. I’d love to show you, but I don’t know how to.

[@cathybourassa9661]

Beautiful, would love to see a rose

[@RedRockingBird]

Great suggestion, thank you

[@HK-cp8tm]

Absolutely amazing. Due you have to deal the clay first before painting? In addition for the clay to last do you have to deal it?

[@RedRockingBird]

Yes always best to seal the clay after painting, no need to seal it before painting, thank you 😊

[@aliceg5677]

I’ve been using hobby craft own brand of air dry clay and I’ve found I can roll it quite thing without it cracking and if you buy the white one it dries really white so if you’re printing on it, it looks really good. 😘😘

[@RedRockingBird]

I love the hobby craft clay too, just not the British one which they sometimes have, it cracks like anything

[@christinstrte910]

love it, looks stunning♥

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you so much 😊

[@SusanRoseArt]

I liked the look of the Smarta clay so I followed the link. Almost £23 to send to the UK from Turkey! Needless to say I didn't purchase any. However if you come across a UK based seller with reasonable shopping costs I would be happy to buy via your recommendation.

[@RedRockingBird]

Far too steep right now yes but I really am hoping this changes soon, thank you for looking. This project can be done in homemade clay and polymer clay too ❤️

[@keelyimpey6165]

Hi love all your tutorials 😊 can you tell me , is that floristry wire that you attach the flower to? Also what is the green wrap that goes around the stem, it looks amazing.

[@RedRockingBird]

Yes, it is, floristry wire and floristry tape works great

[@keelyimpey6165]

Ok thank you 😊

[@debishaw9355]

Unbelievably beautiful! Where can you buy the Smarta clay

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, it’s hard to get hold of now, but try an air dry clay light

[@firemelon7296]

What a stunner. Great work, dear. Thank you for the inspiration! :^)

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed and felt inspired 😊

[@kbear3022]

Love your video! What is the width of your petals? I've read somewhere that the thinner your project the more likely it is that air-dry clay will crack so you have to make it at least a 1/4 of an inch thick.

[@RedRockingBird]

yes I normally say not to go thinner than a quarter inch too, but this was a challenge and the first ones are a new version/brand of air drying clay, the second one i made is regular air dry clay and although i made them, they were very very fragile this thin yes.

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

Hi Sarah, thank you for this awesome video! I have been thinking of trying to make flowers with home made air dry clay but not using Das for it as I think it would fall apart. Lol. I wish I could get the Smarta air dry clay over here in the UK, as it's way too expensive to have it shipped here from the US, which is a shame.Thank you so much for this video. It has encouraged me to attempt making flowers. You are so inspirational and I love your videos.

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, I am happy to hear you are inspired, there will be lots more videos soon with regular air dry clay. I am hoping that Smarta will start to sell on Amazon or similar, they are a fairly new company but I really do love their clay. Currently shipping to the UK is a bit steep, so lets hope that can change soon, many thanks for your valued feedback ♥️

[@thelittlethings6424]

That’s very pretty, What type of glue do you use ?

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, any strong glue and also PVA

[@ikramikram8049]

Hii, I wonder if we can do an image transfer on the air dry clay ??

[@RedRockingBird]

Sure can, did you see this video I made: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHuXh4qefNR1Y5I

[@aparajitaxyz]

This was really good Sarah. We don't get DAS or Smarta in India but will try with which air dry clay I get. I know it's achievable with the home made cold porcelain clay surely. Thanks again pretty.

[@RedRockingBird]

Happy creating ❤️😊 thank you

[@dianaphillips3951]

How well does it do once it’s dry to cut?

[@RedRockingBird]

The smarta clay is very hard to cut once dry, if you try to snap it when it is this thin then yes you can snap it. But very strong when thicker

[@wendyporter1093]

Really beautiful! I’m new to air dry clay, and am really jealous of your talent! 😁. I am going to be trying to sculpt a small dragon! What tool fo uou like to use to make scales? 😊❤️👍🏻

[@RedRockingBird]

Good luck, you could do something like cut the edge of an old credit card into the shape you require and then imprint the clay over and over with this. Thank you ♥️

[@wendyporter1093]
