This could be a Bundt cake too, it reminded me of that before the green paint 😁

[@clayordie]

Oh I didn't even notice that but it totally could be. Just add some icing on top lol ❤️

When you attached the flower using liquid sculpy, did you bake the flower first then attach? I am attaching leaves to a tree that is epoxied, and I’m using sculpey ultra light for the leaves. Should I bake the leaves, then attach them using liquid sculpy? Or should I not bake the leave and just attach them and let the clay air dry??

What size mug is this? :) Love it!

[@clayordie]

Thank you! It's a 12 oz morning mug from The Steel Magnolia. They are linked in the description ❤️

[@Mkwolv]

Such a cutie!!!! Quick question, can I paint the eyes, cheeks, mouth and flower before I attach them to the cactus? Mine will be a hot mess if I don’t!

[@clayordie]

Yes you can. Just be sure that the paint is throughly dried before putting you piece in the oven. 💜

[@Mkwolv]

Thank you!

[@kimberlyquilescakes1036]

Greetings the cup of captus that creastes can be wet or just for decoration.. You bake it in the oven

[@clayordie]

Hi, yes it absolutely can get wet. Just be sure to only hand wash it. And yes, I bake the clay in the oven. 💜

[@rachelwitte06]

Do you think Poxy Sculpt from CCDIY would work for the thin sheet over the “lady fingers”?

[@clayordie]

I have never worked with poxy sculpt so I'm not entirely sure. if you have some on hand, I would go ahead and try it.

[@teresashell8945]

Can I rebake it with Apple barrel already on it?

[@clayordie]

Yes, just as long as your acrylic paint is fully dry

[@teresashell8945]

Thank you!!

[@createwithchelsea5762]

So you just a single coat of epoxy on these?

[@clayordie]

Sometimes I have to go in for a second layer but I don't do more than two usually. 💜

[@createwithchelsea5762]

@@clayordie thank you!

[@erikahernandez6981]

Can you use something else instead of epoxi?

[@createwithchelsea5762]

@@erikahernandez6981 crystalac is an epoxy alternative but you need epoxy or something similar

[@erikahernandez6981]

Why not use green clay?

[@clayordie]

you are free to use green clay on yours. I just like painting mine.
