Finally nailed the FAUX porcelain look (Asian-inspired polymer clay tutorial SERIES)

Hello, dear polymer clay enthusiast!
And I also want to invite you to hop on to www.LearnPolymerClay.com and get your copy of the Ultimate Guide for polymer clay and get on my Clay insiders' list and continue the clay conversation with me!
I’m back with another series of clay tutorials. I hope you missed me. Just a little, maybe? A tiny bit:) ?
So this series is inspired by Chinese and Japanese designs. I decided to call it the Asian-inspired series. Because of the Chinese New Year, because I personally love Chinese designs, from my red pen with a gold dragon, to my colourful journals with a Chinese landscape and hanging tassels, to my Floral Asian design Pyjamas (I have lots of these) and my joy-bringing, vintage rose porcelain China tea-cups, made of real Chinese porcelain. I also love Japanese designs. But I’ll skip mentioning all the things I have at home. 🙂
So, I’ve prepared this short and easy to follow tutorial to get you past the apathy of the gloomy January days. To get you pumped up to create. To stir your desire to take out your white clay, find the nearest laser printer to print this colourful floral image and sit at your working table until you get this piece done. Because, you know what’s better than clay inspiration at your fingertips? A wearable piece of clay looking like it was cut out from a real porcelain saucer (with the Jasmine tea flavoured dark yellow liquid inside) and that could fool some people;) Yes, you got this right. I’m talking about YOUR clay piece.
Are you having doubts because you don’t have a yellow glitter marker? That’s OK. Just use yellow alcohol ink. Or skip this step.
You don’t have this type of shield cutter? Put it on your Wishlist for your birthday or Easter. You’ll use this set of 4 cutters a lot to make head-turning, attention-drawing and conversation opening pieces;) I’m not an affiliate of CreateAlong.com, but I am a proud former member of the CreateAlongDesingTeam.
How about the finishing part? Well, the jaw-dropping, better-than- the-real-thing FAUX porcelain effect is given by the two coats of UV resin. You don’t work with resin at all? No problemo! I tested the Kato Polyclay SuperGloss Varnish for you and it is what I recommend for this F.A.U.X. porcelain look.
I’m signing off by thanking you for taking the time to watch the video tutorial (maybe ever dropped a LIKE? #happytoknowthat and I URGE you to create more using clay!
Happy x 3 claying!
Mihaela

Hello Michaela! I was wondering if you ever tried doming your pieces while oven-curing so that they have some interest over being flat pieces? I feel that this piece would have been lovely as a domed, or curved piece. What do you plan to do with this shield design? Will you make a pendant? or a brooch-pin? Thanks for sharing your knowledge today! Cheers, 💝

[@MakeClayArtJewelrywithme]

Hi. I also like domed clay pieces a lot. I used doming to make these pendants, for instance. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5C9Z6SBnsempqM Now that you're mentioning it, I realized that I did not do any domed pieces lately. So I will put this on my inspiration list for my next video tutorials. ❤ Thank you for the idea! I think I opted for the flat look in order to be able to apply the two coats of UV resin for the faux porcelain look:) I decided not to finish this piece as a pendant or a brooch, I wanted to leave it as an open conversation, to leave any possibility open. I usually finish my pieces into a wearable design, still I want to leave room for imagination, at least from time to time. Thank you for watching the video and for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. I really appreciate it! 😍 Have a wonderful and creative Monday!
