Homemade Air Dry Clay Dishes EASY

Wow, you've won me, new subscriber! I love the gorgeously divine bowl and then the flower holder taboot. Thank you for explaining in detail everything, thank you for your warm gentle tone in your voice, thank you for sharing your precious gift and thank you for making the decision to be a part of KZbin or, myself and others wouldn't have been blessed with, the best so far for me, air dry clay creator!

[@ArtsyLadyCrafter]

FYI: When painting a design in light colors, like white and pastels, you could paint the first layer in black or another dark color. Then you would probably need only 1 layer of the white. It's a trick used by decorative painters. The dark foundation makes the first layer of the light colors appear brighter. Love the designs on this bowl!

[@RedRockingBird]

Interesting, with white acrylic it still take more covering imo

Can I just say that this is prob my fave video😊. I tried to get that beautiful yellow and I think it was an oil paint you were using? I tried my new oil paints and didnt get a solid opaque finish - it was streaky😬 Is there a particular make of oil paint you used to get that finish you have got there?🤔 Any advice would be very much appreciated😍

[@RedRockingBird]

Thank you, you have to mix it for longer I would think, just keep kneading and kneading, yes I used oils yellow and ochre, hope that helps

I would like to guess one could decoupage instead of painting, not a steady hand over here 🙄. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with us.

[@kimhaughey9161]

So how long do you recommend conditioning Das from the packet to get the smoothest clay to work with please?😊. Love this design! Beautiful colours!

[@RedRockingBird]

This project is homemade clay so it takes a lot more kneading. Sometimes not too long, but if a few pieces pushed together longer, you can just feel it smooth, knock it a bit too 😊

Can we varnish it so as to prevent it from water? But I like the matt look more!

[@netty062]

Can you do a video comparison with diy clay to DAS for imprinting leaves and which is better? I've been wanting to paint a pigment type ink in the creases of the leaf, then sanding after the smooth edges and then sealing the trinket bowl. I think your coloured clay may work well. There are two video ideas for you. I cannot find any videos showing that technique. Also wonder about how you would glue say a bottom ring of clay to stabilize the bowl... :). Great videos! thanks!

[@RedRockingBird]

Your leaf imprinting one sounds good this clay imprints well but you'd have to test it out to get the desired effect you are after. Yes to join this clay you would need to glue it together, I would use the white glue used in the ingredients. Thanks, it's all such fun and I love to experiment, lots more to come too.

Hi, I’ve used cellophane on air dry clay before and yes it left crease marks, if you don’t want to use corn starch/flour then you could grease with oil or petroleum jelly/Vaseline, that should work fine, or on a non stick surface you shouldn’t need anything, hope that helps

[@TheSongwritingCat]

When you've mixed the paint into the clay, is it possible to mix two different colors to create an effect (e.g. marbling or blending) the way you can with polymer clay? Or does the paint stay messy until the clay dries, preventing a clean blend between two different colors of clay?

[@leyalaatasto9096]

Yep, absolutely! I suggest you mix with a little less force than you would with polymer clay. Make sure to clean your hands in between mixing the individual colours into your clay :)

[@RedRockingBird]

Yes make 2 separate colours, so colours are fully incorporated then roll and marble the 2 blocks of coloured dough together and marble to your desired effect. Thank you

[@TheSongwritingCat]

OK! Thank you. I'll try to do some tests. Do you think it would help to let the dyed clay rest in a sealed plastic bag before trying to mix the colors? I'm scared of making mess if, for example, I try to mix pink and green or I try to marble by twisting 4-5 colors together.

[@RedRockingBird]

@@TheSongwritingCat I don't think you need to let the colours rest, but I would choose 2 harmonising colours, as pink and green mixed together would make brown. I'd do something like pink and purple, or yellow and red, but that's up to you. If you make my recipe just make sure you don't let it over heat and beat hard between heating. ❤️
