I love your video's, so inspiring! I am very new to air dry clay - I have the clay but haven't had a chance to play yet. I love so many of your finishing technique's, especially the paint flicking and the adding in of small stone's. I'm going to try this with tiny crystals. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents!!

[@RedRockingBird]

I love it too, I gave this one to my friend as a photography prop, I’ll make more and I must paint some with some fun illustrations, like I do with other things, but need to do more of here in my channel, thank you

Air dry clay is not food safe, but I do have some videos on my channel where I make them more waterproof. Thanks 😊

[@HadleyMacDermott]

I've been using many of your videos to help me make some pieces. I was wondering if you have experimented using dried flowers or leaves? Apologies if you covered that in a video already as i didn't see it. Thank you for all of your gorgeous ideas!

[@RedRockingBird]

Wonderful, do you mean pressing them in for texture? I did this in my imprint air dry clay video. Or do you mean attach them on for decoration? Thanks

Thank you so much for your videos. A lot of work goes into this content. Quick question, is there a reason why people don't create big decor vessels or Vases and only make small trinkets?

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, yep I do spend rather a long time, filming editing and all the bits in between, which is why my videos don’t come out as often as I’d like! I must do some larger items. I think it’s because it’s a good beginners craft and people start small and small is easier and more affordable I guess, big is good too 😊❤️

[@storiesandmusicforyoubychr9757]

I'm going to give the sandy vase a go! What products do you recommend for a natural, non-shiny finish?

These are great tips and ideas! I haven't started with clay yet. I'm just watching videos and getting ideas. Can the mug and vase hold liquid? If yes, did you seal the inside with anything?

[@RedRockingBird]

Great thanks. Air dry clay is not food safe but in many of my other videos I waterproof the clay for occasional water use, resin or polyurethane are my current favourites kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2rVdHqcm7GYoJY

The one here is a very old set of daler rowney I think, I now have the new set too ☺️ thanks

[@baukjelem]

Good afternoon, what a nice idea to use small stones, could this also be done with colored pieces of glass? Because the air-drying clay shrinks when drying, I think the stones/pieces of colored glass come loose after drying?? love from the Netherlands 🖌️🎨🌞

[@RedRockingBird]

Hi, these did stay in place as they are just small enough, so could do the same with tiny pieces of sea glass, I then sealed them in really well so they are permanently set in, thanks, happy crafting 😊☀️

[@JimHayes-w8u]

I wonder if you could waterproof the airdry clay enough to make a plant pot which would need watering? what do you think??

[@RedRockingBird]

I have done a few videos on waterproofing the air dry clay and today I have this video out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHfIq4mJl6ekodk where is make a large air dry clay plant pot with a vessel inside so you can water the plant 🪴

[@cunegondefrenegonde]

Wonderful video, many thanks !! Is it possible to create plates and eat with them or would it be dangerous ? (Sorry if you mentioned it in your video, I’m french and I may have missed that detail ! 😉)

Thank you, air dry clay is not food safe so just for decorative purposes, happy crafting

[@penguinqueen7852]

So... Can you use mod podge to seal the mug, ready for regular use? 🤔 Thanks in advance

[@RedRockingBird]

For regular use no, for using as a little pen pot or similar yes

[@RedRockingBird]

DIY Air Dry Clay EASY Recipe kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJTRapWsmaiBaLs I find it’s only really cost effective if I have the ingredients in already, as here in the UK a block of ready bought air dry clay is fairly cheap and often comes on offer, best of luck

[@bonfismaya1]

Is there a way to make drinking dishes from air dry clay? If so what kind of varnish did you use?

[@RedRockingBird]

Not with air dry clay, it’s not food safe, these are all decorative sorry, thanks

[@CrissyColoringCorner]

When done do you just let it seat out to dry? How long it takes to dry?

Yes leave it to literally air dry, the slower the better, most of these took about 4 days

do these hold water long term?

[@RedRockingBird]

No don’t add water, I have videos where I attempt air dry clay waterproofing (also air dry clay is not food safe)

[@ivelissebouet9563]

I’m a beginner at air dry clay. I have a quick question: if making the cup, is it only for decor or can it be used as a drinking cup? Thanks in advance for your reply.

[@RedRockingBird]

Hi, air dry clay is not food safe unfortunately so just for decor, thanks, Sarah

[@toadtime8549]

This is really creative! I hope you don't mind me asking, but I've heard that air drying clay can give you silicosis, and now I'm not sure if its ever safe to use it? What do you think?

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you. Always if you have concerns do your research, or don’t proceed, and if me and I was worried about the dust, even when using ppe, I’d avoid sanding the clay completely and smooth the clay fully while wet, this is not advice just a thought. Happy crafting, there is something for everyone even if not air dry clay 😊

NO WAY, people you CAN"T use airdry clay for cups or anything dealing with food, it's toxic!

these are for decorative purposes only, as mentioned in video these were made as photography props for Lucy Jane Photography, air dry clay is not food safe, this is a video about adding texture

[@zinazina6367]

Iam sure the clay is not toxic, I work with airdry clay for centuries and it is safer than drinking from a plastic mug. Its made out of paper. Would not reccomend airdry clay though for cups and such since it will not hold water.
