hay can you say me what kind of clay is this?and from where you buy this clay?and how much it cost?

[@thaisguida1064]

How beautiful! I am from Brazil and I'd like to know what is the name of this rubber you are using. Thanks a lot

Que modelo de arcilla usas? Es Souffle o fimo? Cuál es mejor? Gracias

[@KL-iy1zo]

I would love to see you use the paint for this technique! You inspire me!!

[@FernMitchHandmade]

I will definitely make a video with that. Thank you for watching 🥰

The thing I like the most of your videos is the love you show for your work. It is inspirational. Thank you very much for sharing.

[@FernMitchHandmade]

It’s my absolute pleasure! Thank you so much 🥰

[@rebeccaeagle8718]

Do you need to use the liquid sculpey to achieve this look, or can you do without it?

[@saraha813]

You don't need it. Just makes it much easier to stick together

[@ProverbsSixteen3]

Thank you. This is brilliant. I can do this with kids. It will be great to show them they can make something amazing like this.

Hello i star making earrings last year, i love it its my therapy.

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Same with me! It’s the best therapy ☺️

[@Babiigemini19]

These came out so nice! I hope to try marbling with gold soon. Is the gloss varnish toxic? Or is it fine to use in small amounts to coat the pieces after baking in a regular household?

[@beckyblack5159]

I'd like to know this too! Thank you

[@tuanalbert4821]

@@beckyblack5159 You can use UV Resin to coat. It will give you super gloss

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Aw I’m so happy my video inspired you 🥰 thank you for watching!

[@leslierosas7973]

Hey!! For the gloss varnish, how long do you let yours dry and do you apply multiple coats? And do you just hang after dipping in the varnish?

[@FernMitchHandmade]

It depends on many factors. I like to leave mine to dry at least 1-2hrs. I don’t apply multiple coats. Yes! To avoid brush marks I find it easier to dip and hang them to drop. But I keep and eye on them and try to wipe the drips, otherwise they can harden hanging on to the piece. Which means more sanding 🤯

[@alishbazainab6923]

In case of air dry clay what precautions should be kept on mind?

[@iswaryanandini2171]

Live this ..do we really need to have a pasta machine to blend the slab ?

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Nope, you can use a roller with guides or depth guides. Just need to make sure your slab is even!

[@westcoastjack2]

I LOVE your marbling technique! It's completely different than mine, and your finished jewelry looks so different, as well, but it is absolutely beautiful. I have one question /comment: to attach your jewelry findings to the clay, you mentioned using Sculpey 'Bake & Bond', which I love, but you don't mention that 'Bake & Bond' MUST be baked after its applied to bond things together. I would imagine that you would suggest baking the piece 'as directed by Sculpey', and it should be done BEFORE glazing with any kind of water based varnish because the varnish can not withstand oven temperatures and could scorch or burn. THANK YOU, again for sharing your GREAT marbling technique! Kindest Regards! Jack

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Thank you so much Jack 🥰 I’m guessing you are talking about the earring posts. Yes! Bake n bond or liquid clay is another way to attach posts. You need to use this before varnish and bake in the oven for 15-30mins in 275F I hope this helps 😊

[@houseofzeedy2657]

This is beautiful,but what if I don't have liquid Sculpey what else can I use?

[@fayemullens5569]

Fab tutorial! Just made some of these in mustard yellows and terracotta oranges. I have ended up with quite a few, could I sell what I have made crediting this tutorial or is it for personal use only

[@glorysaranoak9902]

Wow awesome what material are you

[@treeolive5670]

Very nice and I will try to make. Do I need to bake again after using bake and bond to stick the pin? Thanks a lot.

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Yes please try it! Yes, I bake it for about 15-20mins 😊

[@DulanjiManahari]

This is awesome....They are sooo beautiful...

[@francescowart6034]

What do you bake your pieces on? Paper or metal?

[@Sofia-or4vg]

Is there something you need to do to have it harden or can you just let it air dry?

[@Sofia-or4vg]

Also is there a certaint type of clay sued?

[@JewelSand]

this is an awesome tutorial, just a bit surprised about hour baking time. is it the clay used? i have sculpey 3, it says 15 min at 275 :(

[@hellohun6184]

After baking the clay, what tool do you use to make the hole and where do you get it from???

[@hellohun6184]

And is there any other tools that I could use instead of the hole maker???

[@FernMitchHandmade]

It’s a nail sanding tool (linked in the description) . If you search rotary tools on Amazon there is an abundant amount of these. Dremel is a popular brand. And there is a non electric one as well. You can chose to make the whole before you bake your pieces if you do not have a tool like this.

[@nopasanada_]

So beautiful!! Can i ask a question? Make a hole after baking is better than before baking? Which is better?

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Thank you 🥰 I prefer it after since I personally think its much more neater.

[@nopasanada_]

@@FernMitchHandmade thanks a lot. Could you recommend the item for making a hole please? I guess it should be very small tiny hole...

[@a.a9411]

Hi thank you for your time. Would you please show us how to use the glass varnish in the end when we used gold leaf?

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Absolutely! It’s a polyurethane gloss varnish. Please refer to my recent video - Stained glass polymer clay earrings tutorial to find more information. 😊

Aw thank you so much for watching! 🥰 You will love playing with clay! it's honestly the best. Pasta machines will make everything easier. But if you wanna get even sheets of clay, I recommend you get a fondant roller with guide rings.

[@sofiemoldermartin7368]

Love this tutorial! May I ask a small question? How do you prevent the clay from sticking to the cutters? Any tips will help thanks! 🙃

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Thank you 🥰 try dipping your cutters in corn starch! Or I have seen some creators use cling wrap over the slab and then use cutters.

[@thevillagecraft5928]

Can we bake polymer clay jewellery in microwave??? Plz tell

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Not this particular brand. I have seen other brands which you can. But I don’t think those are suitable for making earrings.

[@mirandazamora9778]

Is it not better/easier to make the holes for the hardware before baking?

[@hawkblood_art]

It depends on what you want. Sometimes piercing before baking can disturb the patterns created or make the clay around the hole uneven

[@ShoppingwithShorna]

Can I use something else instead of pasta machine?

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Yes! A fondant roller with a guide

[@shantelmata6429]

Do you use a large oven or a little toaster oven and what do you bake them on? I wanna make some i have all the materials. I made some but i burned them, I’m using a toaster oven

[@FernMitchHandmade]

I use my large oven. When you use a toaster oven please use an extra thermometer. The heat fluctuations are ridiculous.

[@ashinsalaharshani6305]

I love this video.. Thanks for sharing your techniques❤️.. I wanna make sth as a hobby. But i haven't got a pasta machine.. Then how I make a fine sheets?😶

hi! i have a question, do you have to use liquid polymer clay to stick them back together??? can i mush them up together?? will it work??

[@FernMitchHandmade]

I have seen other creators do it without liquid clay. They press and push really hard to and for a while to squish the pieces together. If you are to try, I’d say try a small amount first! Good luck 🥰

[@nataliewallace8250]

Hiya! Great tutorial. I tried this last night. I did find it difficult to condition the slab. I did roll it and put it in the pasta machine, because of this some of my pieces that come out after baked had cracks in. I'm gonna watch your video again to see where I went wrong.

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Before you try to put the slab through the pasta machine, lay a piece of paper and burnish it well with a roller. To prevent pieces from falling apart, push the sides as you roll. I hope everything works out for you 🥰

[@madi_beee]

Do you rebake your pieces when you've attached the earring posts with the bake and bond?

[@FernMitchHandmade]

Yes 😊 I bake them for about 15-30mins

[@irisel552]

Hello! Thank you for sharing your ideas to us. I would like to ask if it will be okay to condition the clay using only the acrylic roller alone? I don't have a pasta machine so I am looking for some alternatives. Thank you!

Could I make the hole in the earrings when they aren't baked already by using a nail and then bake them?

Use a pin. A nail could disturb the pattern or make the clay uneven
