I absolutely loved the video . 🥺 I am so sorry , you got accused of plagiarism (even I got accused of that lol ). The saddest part is Tammy is such a queen and she literally is an inspiration but when we actually get inspired , some people often misunderstand it as being a copy . But leaving that aside , I loved the little pear guy 🍐. Next time when you use cold porcelain , you can try using liquid food colour to colour clay . Chalk pastels can make the clay dry 🤭. I hope you try it again 🩷

[@FairySyrup]

Thank you so much for watching the video! 🥰 I actually often see people get discouraged from pursuing any kind of art just because they are afraid they would be called out on copying someone. I mean, don't we all copy each other to a certain extent? There are so many artists it's almost impossible to be totally unique and you first need to see something you really like or experience something to get inspired. And that's okay, but obviously not for those who only know of the most famous creators. :( Btw yes, Tammy is amazing and such a great inspiration!! ✨

[@LZx..]

​@@FairySyrupi absolutely agreeee

[@nineblackgoats]

I mean, Tammy herself encourages people to create their cozy clay biz full of cute little critters. It's not like you straight up copied her designs and claimed them as your own. Art styles are a thing. Similar styles happen. Also, inspiration has always been a main driving force for artists, that's kind of the point. Artists have been emulating each other since the moment humans started painting on cave walls. Don't listen to troll nonsense.

[@nineblackgoats]

I pigmented my ColPo with gouache paints and never had any issues, just saying. Just keep in mind that it will dry a little lighter abd less saturated than the wet color.

[@Katiesclay]

Hello, I would like to ask, I also have a polymer clay channel, but the name "katie clay" seems a bit ordinary to me Could you please help me with the name? 🥺☺️ thanks

[@ClayCaverns]

I was so shocked when I saw that comment on your first video. It’s the reason a lot of us are afraid to put ourselves out there. Keep going and don’t let that hold you back :)

[@FairySyrup]

Thank you so much! Yes, that is so true!

[@winnies8576]

I love uncomfy and I don't think you're copying her. The kawaii style has been around forever and its really popular. In that case, everybody would be copying each other lol 😂😅

[@franny_lavandia]

I‘m so sorry to hear you got accused of stealing other people‘s designs, I actually think your characters are so unique and distinct! I recently started experimenting with polymer clay for the first time and I feel like my characters still look very similar to other artists‘, which is why I hesitate to put them on my shop. Yours are really unique und extremely cute tho, I love them! ✨

[@FairySyrup]

Thank you so much! That's actually funny because I feel like it's so hard to have unique designs because cute characters are very popular in the polymer clay community and sooo many people are doing them! (And I actually think it's experiencing such a boom partially thanks to Uncomfy who made this theme so popular) Sometimes you can even make something almost identical to someone else's creations just by an accident because there are so many of them! So don't worry about putting them on your shop. However, I noticed an unfortunate thing, and that is people love to look at these creations but they rarely buy them. 😂😭

[@franny_lavandia]

@@FairySyrup Thank you so much for the encouragement to put my characters on my shop, I really appreciate it. And you are so right by saying that cute character designs are SO popular at the moment, and I also think you really cannot pin down one artist or moment where this emerged, because it is such a widespread trend. I really hope you will be able to sell a lot of your products from your shop update, I will definitely be on your website as soon as it drops :)

[@shrayarchy]

You're doing a great job! I felt so bad when I read those comments blaming you for copying Tammy. It's sad to see some people turn such a beautiful and positive thing like art into toxic blame games. This makes me so scared to even post my first clay art vlog. Afraid that someone might accuse me of copying some or the other artist. However I'll just say that you're so courageous to face these people and stand up for your art and come up with another awesome video! All the very best to you!

[@FairySyrup]

Thank you so much for your support! I can see why so many people can see the similarity, because Tammy was the first polymer clay artist I ever watched on KZbin, so it's hard not to be influenced by that, but I would never copy someone's art or designs. I, as an artist, see a plagiarism as a very serious thing and I think each artist should aim for at least a tiny part of uniqueness. Also, most people don't seem to realize that when there's a popular artist creating something, it doesn't mean they invented the style because they were also inspired by something. Art is overall a subjective and sensitive matter but it's pretty hard not to let the opinions of other people discourage you, especially when they call you a copycat.

[@FairySyrup]

Btw your Snuggle Snout characters are so cute!!

[@shrayarchy]

@@FairySyrup Thank you so much! ^_^

[@Eleanor-wx6sh]

THEREEEE sooooo CUTEEEE AHHHH!!!

[@bonnievalentine3944]

Ignore the haters. Your artwork is all based on your talent. You have a lot of talent. Keep on truckin

[@swisscheese1138]

more power to you :) nice sculpts

[@AnnieZeeWorldofArtsandCrafts]

Ignore the harsh comments, my 10 years old sister is running this KZbin channel and some people are just out of mind to criticize her efforts, just ignore these kind of people who can't do anything but demotivate others. Good luck ahead🎉

[@sumaitasultana239]

I like your videos. Please make more videos on cold posceline clay. And make a glazing video of cold porcelain charm with epoxy resin❤❤❤❤

[@crafter_mari777]

Keep it up gurl💞💖

[@queeneen]

Love this💖 Will definitely try this🫰😮

[@FairySyrup]

Let me know how it went 😍

[@studioibag2393]

i use polymer clay, from a really good brand, that is the only one that i liked yet. ista called polycol. i use the natural one or the white one, i didnt use the colored ones yet. when i was living in brazil it was so cheap that i couldnt believe, but here in portugal is actually a lot more expensive. but anyways, i recomend it a lot! is super soft and dont dry as fast

[@Dinashfernando]

love your videos 🤩😍🥰

[@user-vi2oj6hb5p]

Great works!! What about to use water bath instead of pan?

[@Hansujin-j6q]

Can you tell me where you bought the velvet yarn pleaseeee

[@atalia.schillerequestrian6851]

Hi. I’m using sculpy soufflé polymer clay and it is very soft. This is my favorite polymer clay 💖 maybe it’ll work for you too

[@FairySyrup]

Thank you! I have a lot of FIMO soft now so after I run out of it, I'll buy culpy soufflé 😊😊

[@nychtahere]

I have a question, what do you use as camera? Because the colors with sunlight looks really good

[@LifeAsMahlatse]

❤❤❤

[@rayne6737]

Haha, I got that recipe from Sugar Cafe Charms too. I haven’t tried it yet though. I’m an artist who’s been painting for decades and I want to try something else for a change. Not sure what I will do with it yet though. The Kawaii style is definitely cute but it isn’t my style though. I like watching other people make it though.

[@aurorateemo3708]

pleas don't stop making these characters they are so cute, i want to start my small buisness but polymer clay is so expensive for me to afford so i made this kind of clay but everytime i work with it my little characters cracks...

[@nima507]

how do u dry it without cracks huhu, i struggle with my creations as it always cracks when i left it in open area to dry

[@Craft_with_thanz]

Nice video 👍🏻🥰

[@worldofsparkle]

Can i make a bowl with it?

[@jkcraftsph]

Hello! Loved your video!❤️ I must say you did well on your first and 2nd try. It took me months to get that kind of consistency. I always overcook my clays on a stove top.😂 Oh! And also, you should have kept the 1st batch because you can still use it as filler for larger pieces. Btw, i just felt the need to share this with you, if you are working with tiny details and you dont want it to dry up immediately, try adding a bit of lotion to the clay.☺️ +1 sub here from the Philippines!😊

[@FairySyrup]

Thank you so much! I've been adding lotion to the clay but not while working with it, thanks for the tip! 😊 And good luck to you with your creations.

[@LZx..]

Loved the video❤❤❤❤

[@FairySyrup]

Thank you!! 🥰

[@ananyakundu8226]

Which colour she used?

[@nineblackgoats]

Ah, the secret ingredient, cat hair! My cold porcelain also has cockatiel feathers and random birdseed huska in it because we're crafty in this household 😂 but yes, I've microwaved my cold porcelain for over a decade and I very much prefer that method.vit also appears to last longer.

[@kashaestuesday]

these came out soooo cute omg! ive been wanting to make this clay too, how is it that it doesnt catch dust? omg this might be my replacement for polymer clay. i dont use the colored clay because of all the dust, instead i just buy white and paint over it.

[@FairySyrup]

You just need to try it yourself, I personally can't see it as a replacement for polymer clay, but I believe you can learn to work with it - I'm just not that patient lol. Also my friend told me that store bought cold porcelain is so much better than the homemade one. So I'll probably still stick with polymer clay haha. And the reason it doesn't catch dust so much is that it's not sticky once you work with it! To remove dust from polymer clay, I use rubbing alcohol and cotton swabs. It takes some time but I always to manage to remove all the dirty parts with it.

[@kashaestuesday]

@@FairySyrup the dust is the bane of my existence!! lol omg. ill definitely look into the store bought kind. maybe ill just stick to painting white polymer clay haha the dust is the bane of my existence!! lol omg. ill definitely look into the store bought kind. maybe ill just stick to painting white polymer clay haha

Hello i recently got to know bout your page ❤ it's so cute and inspiring 🌷

Hi, thank you and welcome!! 😍

im gonna try making clay ..also can you tell what yoou use to make charms shiny

[@FairySyrup]

UV resin 😊

[@sheenamoore3938]

DONT GIVE UP!!! IGNORE THOSE ROTTEN COMMENTS.

[@lovevamp5446]

I am a uncomfy fan but there are differences in technique and style. The subject yeah the same but I see it more like a changree you sculpt in.

[@crayonpurple6760]

Yo nunca tiro la pasta, se puede combinar con otra de mejor consistencia y listo 😅

[@user-zi6et4bq5q]

Jde to z ty pánve umýt dobře?Jinak pokračuj dál fakt ti to jde je hezky se na to koukat!🫶🏼

[@FairySyrup]

Hodně toho jde oloupat, zbytek jsem dala do myčky a umylo se to v pohodě. :)

[@SisterhoodDays]

I loved your video! And you said it perfectly in your replies to other comments. Don’t we all somewhat copy each other? So what. If someone copies something I do I am flattered! I accept it as a compliment that I inspired others! Also like you said, many of us are fans of Japanese art. Or Kawaii. A “pear” is a “pear!” You really can’t change the Kawaii look that much! Just keep making your art. Most people who find the need to say mean things are just bitter and probably jealous. My mom always taught me that if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all! ❤

[@devadearte]

I recently started a KZbin channel and accidentally came across your channel and this video. It's very strange that you were accused of plagiarizing Uncomfy because I’ve watched a million similar videos, and they were more of a copy of hers than yours. I also don’t like it when people copy what I create (I make collectible dolls and inspiring content and welcome btw:)), but unfortunately, people often prefer to imitate others rather than invent something original. So, don’t worry, keep creating your wonderful characters. I sincerely wish you prosperity and hope your works are always appreciated and well-received. I'll go and like all your videos to help your channel grow 💗 hugs

[@wahfleenjoyer]

does this homemade clay smell?

[@FairySyrup]

A little, but it doesn't smell bad to me! It's kind of like a mix of glue and coconut oil.

[@wahfleenjoyer]

@@FairySyrup can u smell it without purposely nearing your face to it? sorry for asking abt this😭, im heavily strict abt clay odor😓

[@nishatlala3990]

@@wahfleenjoyerno, atleast to me it doesn’t smell unless you bring it close to ur nose

[@CyanYvette]

I’m really trying to jumpstart my business but I feel like NOBODY wants. Stuff I sale. Nobody near me in my hometown at least. I love cute little cottagecore and coquette things but a lot of people I know personally, do not

[@FairySyrup]

Hey, same here. I probably wouldn't stand a chance selling stuff like this in my country and even if I have, I'd have to price them so low it wouldn't be even worth making them in the first place. Everybody seems to like these stuff but they wouldn't pay for it. But honestly, it's kind of everywhere. I have almost 4k visits on my Etsy shop, so many likes on my products and only 7 sales so far. I feel like giving up quite often to be honest.

[@CyanYvette]

@@FairySyrup yes! Same thing here. Shop visits and no purchases. Don’t quit . You’re very talented. We’ll both find something that works

[@CyanYvette]

@@FairySyrup I go to Pinterest and TikTok everyday and see others make the same things in making and people love it. But I can’t get the support
