You are an artist, you can make anything work!! I love watching your videos... I can never get to watch the first time so gotta wait to watch on u-tube after work......

[@DangersGirl4Ev]

You have no idea how much I appreciate you uploading videos in this length. I get so sad when DIYs end in like 15 minutes 😆

[@artbyfaith]

I like the dark brown. Actually, I like your creative ideas and your creations.

[@backtoearthcreations]

Right on!

[@suecowles7091]

You have my attention 🤗

[@backtoearthcreations]

[@deniseheckman809]

Yes, your work here is done! Love some musical theory with my polymer clay🤔🤗 By the way, glow powder works in the kiln - mix it with frit and make sure to cap in clear.

[@ColleenM61]

awesome, Awesome, AWESOME!!!!

[@kathysausen6493]

I’m Speechless! This whole project is just Beautiful!!! Bravo to you!!!!! The mushrooms WOW! The Moth WOW!!! Ohhh good the 1/2 moons , I was hoping to see those!!!👏👏👏💕💕🧜‍♀️

Right on! We're always here for the replay

[@ayzartia]

Amazing! So beautiful!

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you so much!

[@debbyk9502]

I have found that a tray with baking soda is really great to support when baking and it doesn't leave any shine or flat spots (also, try using white vinegar on burns :) just soak a piece of paper towel or cloth in white vinegar and lay it on the burn -even sun burn- you may smell like a pickle, lol, but it will make it feel better right away and heal faster!

[@annnoyez]

Omg... that is beautiful 😍 and such a big work... 😍

[@gemmy5637]

This entire project is so beautiful, magical and wonderous! I've had a blank wall in my room for five years wondering what to do with it and this is so exactly up my alley! Thank you for sharing all the hard work and the mushroom detail which I also love and needed for a fairy book nook I want to make - I'm so glad I stumbled upon this 🍄🍄🌛💜💝❤

[@karentaylor5256]

You are so talented. Just beautiful ❤️

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you so much for your kindness, Karen!

[@lyndar.4833]

OMG you are Sooooooo cute! I loved the ending of course!!! You amaze me at your art medium cross-overs - being a Pagan Crone I of course loved the phases of the moon - but just over THE TOOOP luuuuuv these! love the concept and all - but even *I* know my limits! lol I would probably have to hurl 3 - 4 of my cats even if I dared try this - which I wouldn't hahah - but I just wanted you to know how beautiful and awesome these are and I loved the "little one person rave" I'll be there in spirt (with all the cats too)

[@susanyee1]

Simply magical!!!!

[@tamaradabney8699]

Loving the moth!

[@backtoearthcreations]

eeee! I am so glad! I wasn't into it at first, but I think I was just grumpy from the 30 mushrooms lol

[@charlieharley616]

Stunning. Just stunning!

[@heatherurven2573]

Wow! What a cool project!! I definitely want to try something on a smaller scale. Maybe decorate one mirror with some crystals and floral and work my way up to clay sculptures. 😆

[@backtoearthcreations]

Yass! Honestly, the base mirrors are so affordable for a set that it makes tackling the project and making them your own really approachable!

[@fcllc4217]

So gorgeous!

[@amberm2777]

Wow, that piece is amazing!

Thank you so much Amber!

Yvonne, I hate to break it to you..... OMG I love you... Not in a way that you have to worry about stalker bs but can I take the time to brighten your day like you do mine and probably others as well.. I have to be honest, I dont always have 3 hrs to kill but I try to keep up on all your super long videos... You are an amazing artist and a real person. You are You and that is a great thing in your case.. Not all people can say that about themselves. i can see you are a great person and i really enjoy watching. keep up the good work. KI will be starting my own youtube channel soon. it will be jewelry tutorials as well and a separate yet connected channel called Coyote blind.. look for it it will be fun and inspirational..i camp out in the wetlands of Washington trying to have an experience and obtain footage of the illusive rural coyote.. Scary.. Camano Island Washington. I also mine collect tumble my own rocks gems and crystals.. then I make beautiful jewelry in my studio. I am a feb bday girl so love you amethyst work. Anyway, you are great sweet and talented. REAL. Love ya Teresa Lyn

[@patriciapeterson2820]

Beautiful!!

[@juanitawong]

Love this project you did. Thanks for showing me how to make mushrooms. I am making a tooth fairy door for a friend for her nephew and mushrooms were requested. Can't wait to give it a go! Thanks Von!

[@sandywalters1182]

Oh my I gave myself a blister on my thumb from the hot glue gun 2 days ago. I knew how you felt when the glue hit your finger.

[@backtoearthcreations]

The struggle is real!

[@Kera.S.]

I struggle hard with perfectionism to a debilitating defeat. You just cut those wings without regard and I agree it was a good choice. No way I could do that! Nor could I do any of this! My fear of messing up keeps me from attempting so many things. Maybe if I wasn't so "economically challenged" and didn't want to waste material on my failures then I would engage in more experiences. Whatever it is, I need to jump in and stop being afraid!

[@lonislovelythings3736]

Nothing is a failure if you at least try to do it. Not doing something out of fear of failure IS the failure. Like Nike says, "Just do it"!

[@tcatzmeow]

Wow this has to be one of my favorite projects that I have watched, It is so Magical❤️ I am going to have to try this.

[@sinneryetsaintly]

If you score each part of the clay and add just a tiny bit of the liquid clay before putting them together they will connect more securely for baking and also be more stable after baking. This is how potters attach real clay together.

[@miloslavarebetova6630]

Nice moon 🌛🌜🌛🌜🌛🌙🌙

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you!

[@AshersMom713]

I just LOVE this project sooo beautiful & magical! I just discovered your channel recently and have been binge watching and I have to say from your wire wrapping to DIYs your very talented.

[@kathysausen6493]

P.S. I just wanted to add that I appreciate ALL the mental abilities it took to do this project! Even though you love what you do it takes a lot out of a person! I’ve done my share to heavy duty projects so I understand!!! 💕💕🧜‍♀️

[@backtoearthcreations]

Thank you so much, Kathy! This project was a real test of my crafting endurance; I used up my enthusiasm on the first 10 mushrooms, the rest of the project was carried on stubborn will.

[@barbkannas78]

I thought you were sculpting a moth..... It is a nice looking insect....😁😁😁😁

[@lifelovecrochetinthedarkwm4147]

That was amazing!! You are super awesome!! And I just love those mushrooms!! I think they’d be super in bright purples and blues... maybe iridescent colorshift kind.... red is so non calming for me.... but I love it!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Super gorgeous! I'd love to try making something similar.

[@patriciapeterson2820]

Hi I’m only 1/2 hr into the video, but a thought came to me while you were using the mold, So, I’m wondering to have different shaped mushrooms that you could put stones or marbles into the mold then drape over? “ just my mind over thinking again! Lol

[@dharmadoodles]

Wow...!!!!

[@Grambo1946]

If you put a piece of card stock on your tile and put your project on the cardstock and bake, it won't have a shiny mark.

[@anitawhitworth9516]

What is pro create? I know I'm dumb. Thank you for help

[@frith.calluna]

Question for anyone who happens to know: Do you happen to know which kind of glue could work on a plastic-y frame? I've wanted to do this kind of thing (fake moss and everything) on my own mirror, but I'm pretty sure the frame isn't made of wood haha I own some good ol ''hobby glue'', but don't currently own a glue gun. Would be willing to buy one if glue guns are a must for this kind of project though. Thanks in advance!

[@backtoearthcreations]

Hello, Spammerts! I would use a low temp glue gun, or test out on a discreet part of the back of one of the mirrors to see how the high temp hot glue affects it. I have melted some projects that had a plastic base using Super Glue, so I always do a test patch if I have doubts! I hope this is helpful to you

[@frith.calluna]

@@backtoearthcreations Thank you so much for the advice! I will be trying that out first to see how it turns out :D Hope you have an amazing day!

@yvonneWilliams, is that actually a Porcupine quill? 💕

[@susanwood6509]

Some have dot like marks on them or colourful swirls

[@susanwood6509]

Why are you making mushroom caps??

[@ChibiChula]

This turned out magical! 😍 I actually like the mushrooms as they are, though I wouldn't mind them painted I think you should just use some translucent, barely there color, like a tint. Maybe some alcohol ink would work for that effect if it was lightened up with more alcohol? I'd suggest glass paint but I'm not sure if it would react badly with the clay. I guess your idea of glow in the dark paint works too, though I would suggest watering it down so it works more like a tint and maybe using a color gradient instead of solid color (though that would mean more work, I know). To be honest, I think these type of mushrooms look like jelly fish and was picturing you doing something like them but with more tendrils on the bottom rather than the stems, then giving them a blue color which fades to a purple-pink at the edges and sorta suspending it in light blue resin somehow, maybe with some sculpted coral too, to use as decoration like a paper weight or a black light nightlight, lol. BTW, am I remembering wrong? I thought the moon crescents were supposed to hung with the points facing the moon? Meh, doesn't really matter I guess. Also, the reason you were having trouble with the liquid polymer clay was that you were using too much! It needs to be "painted" on in a thin layer and you need to use it between every connection between baked and raw clay. Think of it like glue. It's best to use it on the raw clay first and sorta scratch the surface and work it in so the clay softens a bit and gets really tacky before sticking it to the baked clay. The best thing you could do on these types of pieces though is make a little wire spiral for each cap with a bit of wire sticking out the middle and make a loop facing up on that end then drop a tiny bit of liquid polyclay on the spiral bits before baking all the caps in a tray on a bed of cornstarch. The metal loop sticking out then gives the raw clay a nice spot to grip on to and they won't be falling off all the time. Hope that makes sense and helps you a bit in the future. 😅

[@valeriecreech6208]

What is the program you’re using? @yvonne Williams

Heya, Valerie! I am using Procreate on an ipad

@@backtoearthcreations thank you. I’m looking for a simple program to design jewelry.

[@lavenderrainbow5041]

Question: have you ever added glitter to polymer clay? Did it affect the outcome at all? I was also considering adding left-over bits of gold foil. Has anyone done this? How was the outcome? For the foil pieces, I am worried about burning the clay. For the glitter, I wanted to add a ton of it to a small piece of clay. I don't have much clay at the moment, that's why I am asking. I don't want to mess up what I have left :)

[@aliloucreations1817]

Hi , yes iv done both , and they work fine , no problems what so ever 😊

I was ALL about your channel until you mentioned your yoga room… as a Christian, I can’t support that practice given it’s actual background is from worship of idles and opening your body up to allowing those demons in….check into it before you TRASH comment to me. Thanks
