Love your idea of using manipulated styrofoam forms as molds. I will give it a try! Thanks for the share!

Hi Heidi! Yeah! Im glad you liked it. Thanks so much as always for your support.

[@sharonpack4696]

That is so cool. I can not wait to try it. I am teaching my grand kids about clay. They are very excited to learn. I think they just like to get messy. 😄😆😄😃🤣ok as long as they create something.👍💖

[@annruel1982]

Hi Sharon. I love it when people are doing art work and getting dirty with the kids and grandkids. What a joy!! Have fun!!

[@toniabates5086]

Ann, I have been enjoying your videos for a while now and this is another excellent demonstration of how to use objects around us to make beautiful pieces. I too have been adding a worm of clay on joins before I attach pieces together as my lovely basketball sized hands just don’t fit into many ceramic openings. Glad to see you are doing the same. Keep making and sharing! Thank you!

[@annruel1982]

Hey Tonia. Yes, I agree with you. that is a much better way to make sure the joint is attached for sure. thanks so much for watching.

Hola, Sofia! Es un placer. Me alegro que te haya gustado el vídeo. Gracias por mirar.

[@corryg6403]

I was wondering about using spray foam for making molds as it can be moldable after sprayed

[@annruel1982]

Hi Corry. I have to tell you that I have not worked with spray foam for molding. I didnt know it was moldable after being sprayed. It might be worth playing around with. thanks for the inspiration. 🙂

[@pennyfitzgerald9883]

wowza!!

[@stephaniebart-horvath1382]

Your videos are always so inspiring ❤ One problem I have is that I never seem to be able to have my clay at the perfect amount of moisture. Is there any way you can briefly address this issue sometime? Thank you!

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Thanks, we will add that to our list of things to consider in the future!

[@bettywest8191]

What type of clay are you using. It’s so nice. Wonderful tutorial. Thank you❤️

Hi Ann, I'm wondering if this might interest you for a video idea. I've been looking for ideas for a handmade deviled egg dish that holds a lot of eggs, like at least 20 (we have a big family). I'm mostly a wheel potter but I'd love any ideas in hand building too.

[@LittleStreetPottery]

Great idea! We will put that idea on the list! Thank you!
