Sooooooo appreciate that you get right into it without spending the first ten minutes going on and on about unrelated info, or pushing your own products!! You're to the point and very informative. Well done 👍 Thank you!!

[@debbralehrman5957]

Very nicely done. The moss looks so good. Thank you.

[@nancyjones5200]

[@Certainlycaroline]

Aw, so kind of you to let me know. Thank you!

[@jcarter3238]

You have inspired me to get back into my clay. So much has changed! All of these great decorative, fancy mediums. We used to have to get so resourceful and creative to mix elements with the clay. Just in time as my daughter is getting a dollhouse for Christmas. Thanks girly!

Oh, it's so much fun making minis for a dollhouse. I hope you enjoy every minute.

[@neslihan5278]

+CertainlyCaroline hi how long do you bake polymer clay dolls at oven ? i made one 2 days ago.it had many cracks on it.i am so sad about it

[@Certainlycaroline]

I'm so sorry to hear that. There's nothing more frustrating than spending time on a sculpture just to find it ruined by the baking process. Do you have a separate oven thermometer? Don't trust the thermometer built into your oven. Another possibility would be that the clay is old. I've had that happen to me and I ended up throwing out the clay because I knew I was baking correctly, so I came to the conclusion that the store sold me old clay.

[@neslihan5278]

+CertainlyCaroline :( i ordered oven thermometer .maybr my clay was old.i didnt know it.indeed i have no chance to order new clay cause my country imports it from another countries.i used sculpey ve eveyone says lt ls brittle. by the way thanks so much for your care

[@dawneeduddy]

omg,I love your vids,I just started watching this channel like 10 minutes ago and you are one of a kind true clay (polymer)artist!

[@Certainlycaroline]

Thank you for your encouragement and taking the time to give me feedback. So glad you like the tutorials!

[@angelaf887]

FANTASTIC! ;D

[@DonnaMoyBruno]

Just getting started with fairy houses and miniatures - love your videos - the demos, your voice and overall video format :) what kind/brand of clay are you using for the bench?

[@melindalancaster9648]

you very artistic. ..so cute...

[@Certainlycaroline]

...and you are so kind. Thank you Melinda! Let me know if you ever have any questions about my tutorials. :)

[@cindykeller5120]

is this something that can be set outside in the weather? very beautiful work!

[@Certainlycaroline]

Hi Cindy, sorry for not getting back to you sooner. Thank you so much for your interest and your kind feedback. I created the fairy bench to be placed in a house plant arrangement, so I wasn't thinking of outdoor use as I was making it. Polymer clay itself does very well outside, but I paint the polymer clay in the tutorial, which means it will need a varnish if it were to go outside. The epoxy glue should be good outside as well, and probably the fabri-tac. I would seal the faux moss and the painted polymer clay with a product called Varathane...amzn.to/29sMkXk. Varathane is known to work well with polymer clay. Some people don't like the spray kind with polymer clay, so you you might want to go with the can. You might find it at a local hardware store, though it may only be available in the US. Even with a few coats of varnish, I'd still bring it inside for the winter. Hope that helps! :)

[@chachitajl]

this is not only inspiring but just incredibly beautiful! jow could I buy any of these pieces?

[@ceciliashevlin1152]

LOVE IT!

[@anasantos9605]

muito lindo! very very beautiful

[@annekabrimhall1059]

Very beautiful! Could you make one that is easier?

[@jdog52891]

Acrylic paint can be baked, no problem. It actually has a similar effect to Genesis Heat set, in that if you paint it on unbaked clay it bonds to your clay when baking.

[@Certainlycaroline]

Thanks for the tip JessTastic. When I was first starting out I was so careful about what went in the oven! Polymer clay art has certainly been a journey for me -- now that I've had a few years working with it I've found that most things can be baked right along with the clay.

[@diarts4458]

love this! Your work is so inspiring :)

[@tibbs4000]

This is so beautiful! I'm wondering, could you please tell me what this faux moss is made from, and where I might be able to buy some? Thanks!

[@tbell1698]

Dollar sore or Michaels

[@diannsapien3138]

beautiful!!

[@Certainlycaroline]

Thank you kindly, Diann

[@sf5823]

Hi Caroline, Thankyou very much for this wonderful tutorial, simply awesome and a beautiful little piece. Just a quick question if you don't mind, can this be made for a permanent outdoor piece? Much love and keep doing what you're doing because it's truly amazing! :-) xxx

[@josh1674]

Lake Michigan Rocks! How long do you bake, 5-10 mins at 175?

[@sunseray69]

I would have had some awesome art projects had we had the internet in the '80's.

[@annlindberg]

WOW

[@pucca132008]

omg is soo amazing, i loved :D

[@Certainlycaroline]

So glad you liked it! Thank you!

[@canadianchicky333]

can it be left outside bc of the faux moss? thanks

[@Certainlycaroline]

I haven't tested it outside. I believe the glues would hold up outside, and polymer clay does well outside, however the paint on the clay might fade. You could cover the painted polymer clay with Varathane outdoor varnish, you could even cover the faux moss in the varnish. That'd probably be your best bet, but I'd still bring it in for the winter. :)

[@lourdescruzgomez8997]

me suscribo!!! que materias usas?

[@nubiangoddess2323]

Bravoooooo💜🔥

[@Desertdiaries246]

this is awsome.is it polymer clay

[@Certainlycaroline]

Hi Safra, Most of it is polymer clay but I also used real rocks. Thanks for your question!

[@Desertdiaries246]

hi,what is this green thing? and.where can I buy that

[@Certainlycaroline]

The green stuff is what I call faux moss. You could also use real dried moss, available at hobby stores. Real dried moss would look better but it will eventually dry out. I get my faux moss (or underbrush) from Woodland Scenics. Here's a more direct link than I have in my list of supplies in the description: woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/show/Item/U-MG/page/1 Thanks for your interest!

[@lyndseyanne4022]

[@Certainlycaroline]

Hi +lyndsey Anne, Yup, bake it first... ;) Let me know if you ever have any other questions, I really hope to be a good resource for people so I truly appreciate your questions.

[@lyndseyanne4022]

+CertainlyCaroline thanks, I think you will be a great inspiration for people. I'm making my way through your videos x

[@Certainlycaroline]

[@Juanrodriguez-nw4dj]

finally my new favorite you tuber replies to me !!!!!

[@Certainlycaroline]

Absolutely! I love it when people take a moment to send their thoughts my way, means a lot to me... Thank you.

[@thinklikebaeeliza782]

I made this who else did 😍😍😍?

[@thinklikebaeeliza782]

But hers is a bit better 😋 still learning

[@vivianebajjani]

Who agrees with me

[@icecreamprincess000]

this is sooo cute. I love these little details and stuff :) Just one question: why can't you bake acrylics?

[@Certainlycaroline]

Thanks so much, Floraphine. I haven't had good luck baking acrylics. Maybe I'm doing it all wrong, but when I tried it, it came out kind of sticky. I prefer the heat set paints... seems there's less to worry about. I love your question, though, and I want to explore it further with a blog post. I'd love to pick your brain...What's your experience? What brand of paint are you using? Have you found it works with any clay brand? I'll be researching this kind of thing in the blog post. Thank you once again, Floraphine, I love, love, love your input.

[@icecreamprincess000]

Thank you for your detailed explanation :) I just checked my sort of fairy candle I made a year ago, as I had put acrylics on it and then added more clay and baked again. And I have to say, you're right, it does feel a bit more sticky than the unpainted parts! I didn't notice that before you pointed it out so thank you very much. However, I'm wondering if the stickiness goes away if you put a matte varnish on top... what do you think? So far I've been using a very cheap brand of paint from a local store. Now I got a set of a bit better ones from a friend but I haven't tried them, yet. I'm really looking froward to your blog post though. I just love to get to know experiences from other crafters. This sharing is really nice, isn't it? :)

[@Certainlycaroline]

I suppose you might try the matte varnish in a inconspicuous spot on the fairy candle just to see if it helps or hinders. I tried baking acrylics after reading that you could so I kind of think I must have done something wrong, or maybe there is a certain brand that works or doesn't work. I'm looking forward to experimenting some more and documenting it in a blog post since it looks like it works for some clayers and not for others. I'll let you know when I finish... it may be a couple of weeks though because my plate is so full right now. I might just set stuff aside and crank it out anyway though because I'm very curious. Thanks again Floraphine, it's been fun getting to know you.

[@thuyThu-vo4qf]

have u ever made fairy castle or waterfall like lord of the rings's ? :)))

[@Certainlycaroline]

I haven't, but I'd love to someday. I'm very interested in Lord of the Rings nonsense. :)

[@thuyThu-vo4qf]

me toooo >.< wait for your videos

[@kristinapaolillo2268]

How much did it cost to make it? My biggest problem with art has always been money lol.... I have the talent, the ideas and sometimes the motivation, but never the money. Everything relating to art that I own, has been donated.... And I've noticed little by little things have been disappearing :'-( ....

[@pameladanzis8501]

chrissa look at this

[@blackhearteddd]

O_O ...

[@Certainlycaroline]

[@blackhearteddd]

Beautiful creations! Im so glad I found your channel last night. I plan on binge watching every single video. YOU are inspiration! I cant wait to have my own little fairy garden ^_^

[@Certainlycaroline]

Thank you so much, Blackheartedd, but be forewarned...this hobby can be addictive; you might find yourself dreaming in miniature, lol. Have fun!

[@Juanrodriguez-nw4dj]

I'm a girl

[@Juanrodriguez-nw4dj]

[@Certainlycaroline]

[@JorgenVRC]

This is absolutely stunning!
