Air drying wood clay

[@balsalmalberto8086]

You're the first channel to show the real strengths and best applications of wood clay. Red rocking bird also did a great job going over the details. It's not great for sculpting but it great for Molds! It''s seems perfect for my application. Jazza's video was like a hit piece on wood clay, He used a different brand though. Did he ever come back to it? I suck at wood carving but I want to make some freaking marionette or something with this stuff. sculpt with an easier medium and then make a mold with this wood clay.

@balsalmalberto8086 thank you for your comments. I always like to try and make things work and if all else fails, show people other ways that work really well. I've been in the crafting industry for over 20 years, so passing on my knowledge is something I'm passionate about. You could still make a marionette using this clay. Start with a wire skeleton with tin foil padding, giving the overall shape of the body etc. Then use the wood clay to coat it. If you've never used this clay before, then certainly give it a try. You just need to be patient before you see any results. If you still want to try using another clay to do your detailed sculpting, then I'd certainly recommend the Playdoh Air clay.

Tku I'm.living in Brazil and we have this clay and after this video I will by and test by myself ... TKS A LOT !!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts]

@nilbarber9364 hope you manage to have a go at creating something using the Das Wood clay. I hope you found the video useful 😀

[@giorgismama8024]

Very interesting! Thanks so much for demonstrating this new DAS wood clay. I love the vase.

[@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts]

Thank you. I was pretty pleased how my first project turned out. I hope the video has inspired you to give the clay a go😀

[@iknownothing-49]

I wonder if , before painting, you could protect the surface with some matte medium or matte modpodge, to keep the clay from dissolving when adding a watery paint.

[@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts]

@iknownothing-49 Thank you for taking the time to comment. You only paint the wood clay once it is fully dry (up to a week to dry, depending on the thickness of the clay). So you wouldn't need to apply something like Modpodge until after you've painted the wood clay. The clay can withstand a watery paint, as long as it's not for prolonged periods of time. I hope this helps with your query 😀

[@nirateller5603]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank youfor this great tutorial.

[@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts]

@@nirateller5603 you're very welcome. I hope you get to try the clay for yourself 🙂

[@TimelessArtistryByMiriam]

That’s really interesting! I haven’t seen this here in the US yet, but I’ll keep a look out 😁. Thanks for this demo 😊

[@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts]

It's certainly a clay like no other I've used. Padico (company that makes Hearty clay) also make a similar products. That's may be available where you are. I hope you manage to get your hands on some😀

[@TimelessArtistryByMiriam]

@@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts thanks, I'll check it out 😊

[@saranaturegirl123]

Was great to have a chat the other day.. A very informative video, I'll be using the clay in the next few weeks when I've got time and will certainly use some of the techniques you've demonstrated. Thank you!

[@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts]

Hi Sara, thank you for taking the time to comment. I hope you have fun creating with the clay. Once you've made something and are passing by, I'd love to see what you've made. Great to chat to you in person the other day. If you have any questions about the clay, please ask away 😀

[@saranaturegirl123]

@@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts I'll definitely pop in, thank you again 🙂

[@blanchsartcorner9624]

Thanks for the tips... in Mexico I can only get the white and terracota... fingers crossed to try the others soon 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts]

Thank you for commenting. It's certainly a very different clay to what I've been used to using. But I hope that after people have watched this video, they be armed with the knowledge to use the clay. Fingers crossed, you manage to get some in Mexico soon 😀

[@lazuluna]

You can find it in Lumen.

[@irisswitalla6944]

Thank you very much for the very informative video. 👍

[@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts]

Thank you for taking the time to comment. I hope you give the wood clay a try. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask. 😀

[@fatiraaureliatarigan8579]

This is great!

[@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts]

Thank you. I hope it inspire you to have a play with Das Wood clay 😀

[@mahafreij5431]

Thank you for sowing a beautiful project ❤but what colour name do you use please

[@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts]

@@mahafreij5431 thank you for commenting. With regards to colour, do you mean the colour paint that I used on the project after it had dried? If so, that was a dark brown. Burnt Umber or something similar will do, or a brown with some black added to make it darker. 😀

[@balsalmalberto8086]

Have you tested the weight of this clay as it dried? I think it's lighter than regular DAS clay but Creative Paper Clay may have it beat?

[@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts]

@balsalmalberto8086 although I didn't weigh the clay before and after drying, you're correct in saying it's lighter than the normal Das Clays. Again I'd say you're right with regards to Creative Paper Clay. I use a clay similar, called Hearty clay. Like the one your one, it's also made from paper pulp... so not much will beat the weight of it. It's almost feather light... but again the Playdoh Air clay is extremely light too, as that clay is a foam clay. 😀

[@PeverinaAlpina]

Does anyone know... does it become soft again once dried if the in contact with water?

[@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts]

@PeverinaAlpina if soaked in water for a time it goes mushy/soft. You can't successfully resculpt it after that point. I sealed mine with clear varnish, so that's helped to protect the pieces that I made during my video from water. I hope this helps with your question.

[@saranaturegirl123]

Update....almost finished my little project....going to finish painting today, will varnish and let dry over next few days. I'll bring it in the next week or so 👍 *I won't be winning any prizes lol, but it's been great fun. Your video definitely helped.

[@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts]

Fab! Sounds like you've had some fun using the clay! I look forward to seeing what you've made. If I'm not about, please ask a member of staff to take a photo, so they can show me. Thank you again for the comment about the video😀

[@saranaturegirl123]

@@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts of course, easily done 🙂👍

[@EssGeeSee]

It’s DAS with MDF dust. Don’t inhale the dust !

[@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts]

@EssGeeSee I'm not sure where you got your information from regarding that DAS wood has MDF in. So I'd be very interested to know the source of that information and add that information to the description of this video. Regardless of that, it's always good practice not to inhale any type of dust.

[@EssGeeSee]

@@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts Hi. It looks like DAS & MDF dust. Use of a byproduct from the MDF industry.

[@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts]

@EssGeeSee sadly, looks like and fact are two very different things. So, an unfair statement to make on a product without the backing of a proper source.
