I'm late, I'm late! No one can set their watch by me! Ok so this took me longer to edit, but wow did I manage it faster than my usual time!

But here we are. The new and improved Monster Tools Pot. The coolest thing you can make for yourself and personal to your own tools!

Baking Polymer Clay:
it's often in Celsius not Fahrenheit, which is why I don't always quote times & temperatures. I recommend using Polymer Clay packet instructions. However a good tip is to bake no higher than 100 degrees Celsius. It's better to bake at a lower temperature for longer, than higher for shorter.
Larger clay items need longer- always check after 10 mins- sometimes things fall over in the oven & can be rescued at this point. Watch for burning! Especially white as it's quick to burn (don't know why...) and can turn yellow!
Once out of the oven wait for it to cool before thinking it's baked- if it feels soft to touch, you can poke a fingernail in it or a fingerprint, back in the oven it goes!
Electric ovens work better as the temperature is even, gas oven temperatures fluctuate do not keep a steady temp for baking polymer clay.

beautiful, the blue reminds me of the ocean and islands, absolutly brilliant

[@GailJonesPolymerClay]

Thank you Nini!! Yes I really liked this one, the colours really set it off right I think. 😄

[@sherylborodinsky-cummings1824]

I love it! I'm definitely going to try my hand at making one. Thank you❤ Also, I thoroughly enjoyed your live. Please do another, I had fun and love your humor ~ Sheryl ~❤❤

[@GailJonesPolymerClay]

Aww thanks Sheryl! I certainly flew by the seat of my pants! I'll have a think about what I can make, so I can plan this one better haha. I like to have a giggle at everything & have fun 😆

[@marystribling3104]

Very nice and pretty 😍 ❤ great tutorial!❤😊

[@GailJonesPolymerClay]

Thank you Mary! Appreciate you watching & commenting! ❤️

[@karenthomas2302]

I remember when you made monster #1 lol, you had a lot of fun with that one. And well worth the watch for those who haven’t. And yep this one grew. 🤣🤣 and definitely very decorative, how fun it is, and like you I’m always losing tools in my containers. 🤣🤣🤣🤷‍♀️ never ending and may have to make one some day. (Soon) hope your weekend is going awesome for you and pups as well as your other half. lol tfs and hugs from across the pond. ❤😊

[@GailJonesPolymerClay]

Yeah, it seems like so long ago now! We are great thanks, I'm about to go walk the dogs in the rain, it's so peaceful when it rains as no one is around 😆 as always, thanks for watching! ❤️

New subscriber, really enjoy. Looking forward to seeing more

Welcome!! & thanks for subscribing 🥰 next video Saturday 9pm (GMT +1)

❤ hi Gail, I love all the embellishment on this pot but I’m not sure this monstrosity LOL! I love the previous one you made, but this one seemed a little confusing to me- maybe too much going on with it? I love how you made the loops on it. It seemed like a good idea, but I think how the tools would sit all over may be a little weird. Still your techniques are always cool.❤

[@GailJonesPolymerClay]

Hi Ellie, it's really strange because we've got it set up so much more differently & was only just thinking it would have looked better on the glamour shots if I had taken better photographs! You're right, it looks strange, much to be learnt from this, I think! I liked the other one too. I've got several more candle jars & have already come up with better designs. It's all about experiments! I really do appreciate your feedback though, it's good to have different perspectives & love your honesty! Thanks for watching it even though you didn't like it, it means alot 🥰 you're a true supporter! ❤️

[@ellievanessen7574]

@@GailJonesPolymerClay I love your gold leaf and alcohol technique- I'm going to give it a try today-thinking of making a soap dish and hoping it will shimmer and look watery -have a fantastic day.

[@GailJonesPolymerClay]

Oh what a lovely idea :) You too! 😄
