Thank you so much for this video! You caught me just in time before I placed my Amazon order. You're a very talented and beautiful young woman. Keep it up

Thank you!

Sculpey 3 is a misunderstood so to say clay. I use it for making real mini sculptures and it is great to work it for this purpose. Thank you for the video. You look gorgeous and cute. I wish you all the best in life princess.

Thank you Alexis!

I have never had a problem with any clay thank God but thank you for the video

[@starlilyart]

Great video! Sculpey souffle is so hard to find

[@roxyroadclayco.8243]

Hi there! Sculpey soufflé is definitely hard to find right now. I recommend calling your local craft store to see when they may get more in. Thank you so much for the feedback. 😊

[@Musnoosh-il6tl]

I like sculpey 3 for charms I will say it is hard to work with but definitely do holes or the metal charm little loop things first I’d say its okay for charms and modeling more love it for modeling though cause it soft and adds kinda smoothing effect which I like the problem I have usually with it is finger prints a little but thats all really haven’t really tried it with like gemstones yet but will plan on trying just to see (edit its also a bit soft so you have to watch that a little I help my mom with fondant on cakes so thats why I’m probably used to it more)

[@roxyroadclayco.8243]

Ive never thought about it for charms. I’ve been thinking about making little charms so I’ll keep that in mind because I have a few bricks of sculpey 3! To help with finger prints you can wear gloves….just make sure they are smooth ones like the blue surgical ones.

[@Musnoosh-il6tl]

@@roxyroadclayco.8243 Its more of like small type cute charms I made terraria trophies from a videogame into little charms and they came out perfectly I find when you bake it a little more it hardens a bit better like if it needs 30m or something I still do 45m-1hr cause I can usually tell if it not 100% right obviously without burning but I’m surprised how well it hardens when I did it but I didn’t do like really thin pieces like a medium thick thin pieces I can see breaking I use wires a lot for more like arms and stuff cause I’m more on I want to know it secure but really is good for starter charms if you get those straight wires with the circle ring I forgot what there called really

[@roxyroadclayco.8243]

I always bake my earrings for at least 45mins-1hr. I don’t so many sculptures….that is something I’m wanting to get into eventually!

[@tharukagimhani5765]

Can I use fimo soft clay.making earrings

[@roxyroadclayco.8243]

Yes, you can. I prefer to use Sculpey soufflé or premo over fimo!

[@BritishWestIndian]

Great Video but I have to disagree with your Sculpey III comment. At least in my case I haven’t had any problems. I pre-bore my holes (ie before the oven) and with any clay the thickness affects its durability.

[@roxyroadclayco.8243]

Hi! Thank you so much for the feedback! Maybe I was doing something wrong with my Sculpey lll but I’m glad it works for you! I wished it did for me because some of their colors are amazing!

[@KathBorup]

All my pieces broke when I used sculpey 3 😭😭😭 I tried baking it differently and it failed all four times

[@roxyroadclayco.8243]

That’s exactly what happened to me! I’m sorry that happened to you!!

[@oop5488]

Mine are all mixes of III, Premo, and the other one cause I just grabbed a lot of colours. I just use them to make mini sculptures like dogs

[@roxyroadclayco.8243]

That’s amazing! Do you have a website or Instagram I could check out?

Where is the best place to purchase jewlery brass charms & connecting pieces in wholesale quantities?

[@roxyroadclayco.8243]

Hi Leah! I’m not sure on wholesale quantities. I generally get my brass pieces from Mr. Rui on Etsy.

[@princessmanitari4993]

Haii, just a little tip, no idea if you already know this: but if you put your head up, so your neck is all the way straight up, your throat closes! and i noticed in this video you tended to do that a lot, which makes it so you can't keep sentences going for too long. It's a little tip i got from singing class! see what you do with it, i subscribed and am curious as to what you will do with the channel! Greetings, MJ

[@roxyroadclayco.8243]

Thank you so much! I never realized that until now. I definitely do struggle with that. I’m so glad you were able to give me this tip. Thank you so much for the support! -Sav :)

[@princessmanitari4993]

@@roxyroadclayco.8243 No worries! i've had it to, as i tend to copy singers and such from video's, while they are actually playbacking in those music video's, soo it's a great tip i love to recommend to everyone! It's nice to breathe =D So next time make sure your throat isn't all the way up, like the normal way you speak to another person! Goodluck! (:

[@shimran1660]

Which one is best for beginners .and where can I get it ?

[@roxyroadclayco.8243]

Hi! I typically like sculpey premo or soufflé. You can order them from Etsy, the sculpey website, or your local craft store might have them. I’d call before you go just to make sure 🤗

[@Fithara]

I always get black dot and fungus in my work anyone know why

[@Axelsmom22]

Kato needs warm hands and before working it, use a mallet or roller to hammer it a few minutes. It will soften up

[@roxyroadclayco.8243]

Thank you for the information!

Great to see you start a channel, keep up the good work!

[@fatisummer9106]

I just wonder how many earring can you make with one pack for example sculpey premo ,they look way too small and EXPENSIVE

[@roxyroadclayco.8243]

Hey there! The amount of earrings you get from one package of clay depends on the size of earring you’re making & the thickness of the earring as well.

[@fatisummer9106]

@@roxyroadclayco.8243 can you tell from your own experiem,I just want have an idea

Omg you're so prettyy🤩🤩 Thank you so much for this video!! I am a begginer and I just want to know what does conditionning clay mean😅?

[@roxyroadclayco.8243]

Thank you!! I have a video on how to condition clay. Essentially it means that the clay is ready to be used for earrings or whatever you’re making 🤩

[@isellmejia7436]

You missed Fimo Soft which was that one I want to know about :(

[@roxyroadclayco.8243]

Hi there! Fimo soft is a good clay too. Personally I find myself reaching for sculpey products more often, but if you can’t get your hands on sculpey (soufflé or premo) then Fimo soft is a good choice too! Sometimes I find myself having to condition it more than other clays or sometimes it’s a little crumbly for me. If that happens to you just add clay softener or liquid clay! I hope this help! If you have any further questions feel free to ask! :)

[@hollyhope7227]

I just bought a big pack of black fimo soft! And I am so diappointed. It is way too soft, it smears, it stretches. I cannot put it into a silikon form, unless it stretches up to the moon, when trying to get it out. I hate it. It frustrates me so bad, that I really think of throwing it into the garbage. Actually I wanted to design wine glasses with it to look epic. But just to touch it gives me a feeling of throwing up. You have an idea how to get that s...harder??

[@roxyroadclayco.8243]

Personally for me in the summer months I can’t work with fimo soft. It’s just too soft for me. I have tired freezing it for a bit I usually do 10 minutes to 45 minutes depending on how inpatient I am. It just helps firm it up a bit but if I do not do this I can’t work with it in the summer. Majority of the time for me when it starts to stick & get gooey like I have over worked it, it’s too warm, or it could have too much oil in it. If its got to much oil in it, just roll it out on printer paper and it will leach it :) I hope this helps!!

[@aijacha]

What about Fimo soft? 🤔 Is it good?

[@roxyroadclayco.8243]

I personally don’t like fimo soft that much as it’s too soft for me. I’ve used it a few times and i haven’t had a problem with the durability of it or baking it. I personally find it a bit difficult to work with as it can be too soft sometimes.

You didnt mention fimo soft

[@roxyroadclayco.8243]

Hi Jackie! Personally I don’t see myself reaching for fimo soft as much. Sometimes it can be too soft especially durning the summer time & as it can get too warm. I also found that it stuck to my pasta machine & roller a lot. I do use it for decorating or mixing with other colors.

[@innanikifor2149]

Can I mix two different brands of clay together ?

[@roxyroadclayco.8243]

Which two brands are you looking to mix? You can mix premo & soufflé together with no problems. If you mix sculpey with fimo just take in consideration that fimo bakes at a lower temperature. I would test it before you make a big batch just mix a little piece and bake it. Bake it at the highest temperature out of the 2 and make sure you “tent” your work. Tenting means to take a piece of foil and make a little tent over your creation that way it doesn’t burn.
