My technique for clay w/metal frame

[@QBeth.3]

Very pretty. Love the colors and the way you removed some of the mica powder with tape. Glad I watched a different way to use frames. Hint: If not using resin to hold the clay in the frames, coat the inside of the frame with liquid clay. Then coat with polyurethane varnish.

Oh, my!! Focus, focus, focus!! So sorry!! I have to manually focus the camera, and I just forget to do so sometimes! I need to work on getting MUCH better at it!

I know the feeling all too well 😶. And then I wonder when watching back if a contact has slipped 🤣🤣🤣. BTW, I’m a new fan! Love your work

So beautiful!!!! Thank you for blessing us with your knowledge, creativity and your love for helping us newbies:) You should consider selling your artwork 8) Would you be able to share what texture stamp you use, and the roller device you’ve used? So stunning and thank you for sharing!!!

Thank you for watching! So very happy you enjoyed the video. Makes my heart happy that I can be of some help. Blessings to you!❤️

I am a newbie and love the tape idea to lift pearlex. Great idea to use chalk, nice to use items aquired for other crafty addictons in our stash. Beautiful earrings, thanks for tips

[@grannyjclay-joannieholdhus925]

Thank you, Kim. I appreciate you stopping by to watch my videos! Working with clay is very relaxing and satisfying for me, and I hope it will be for you as well. God bless you!❤️

Im loving your videos as I am new to clay, only played a bit so far, but need more tools. Loved your sutton slice intro.

[@Tomhdg]

I’ve used the tape/mica technique, but used a single strip of tape per section/line. Since I also work with UV/regular resin as well, I put the strips - one by one, lined up the same way - in a silicone mold, press down, and viola! I have a mica imprint on the mold. Of course, when the time comes, I pour resin into the mold and I have earrings/pendants etc and no mica waste. I always use a cheap cheap CHEEEEEEAP transparent tape so it gives up all that goodness easily! I’d rather use a lot of cheap tape than waste my precious mica.

Great idea!❤️

Wie wunderschön! Danke für das interessante Video. Viele Grüße aus Deutschland

[@andreamassey3398]

Those are gorgeous. Yes resin will yellow if left in the sun. Sometimes you can recieve a purchase of resin through the mail and it will arrive with one of the components yellow.. UV and 2part resin have a tendency to yellow and that yellowing can ruin your projects.

[@passerineblue]

They are all beautiful. The colors remind me of a landscape field of wheat, too. You could add crows and even a scarecrow along with sheaves of wheat. Great job!!!

Hello! Nice. I do my frames the same way. I love your color choices and the stamp. Beautiful :-)

Absolutely gorgeous! Can I ask where you got that fabulous texture sheet? It looks like it’s make from the same material as the only one I can find from Sculpey. And I love it! I desperately want more. lol

Thank you! I have bought several of Lisa Pavelka’s texture sheets. The one I used in this video is called “Garden Glory”. If you go to POLYCLAYPLAY on the internet and enter that name, you should get it. Here is the site address: polyclayplay.com/rubber-stamps-lp-garden-glory/

Your work is so beautiful 🌹 may I ask why you don't sell it? I'm giving my pieces away, I'm not sure I have the confidence. What are your this thoughts?

[@grannyjclay-joannieholdhus925]

Hi…thanks for asking.❤️ I just don’t want the hassle of shipping etc. At my age, I would just rather make things out of clay for the pleasure it brings me. I really, really enjoy giving it to those that I come across who perhaps need “something good to happen” in their lives. Nurses, waitresses etc….those who serve others day after day after day. I did do some craft shows when I first started claying. I never found it satisfying…especially not as satisfying as giving pieces to those I mentioned above. If you enjoy it and you want to sell, I hope you take that step and do it. God bless you.

[@melodyengland4439]

Hello, I watched this video last evening as I couldn't sleep, from the sadness of losing Wendy, watching this helped, there pieces of clay jewelry that you made here are gorgeous, wow you are very talented. But you mentioned that you don't even try to sell any of your jewelry, I am surprised about this.

[@grannyjclay-joannieholdhus925]

I make things to give away to those that wouldn’t expect it❤️

Joanie may I ask what temp and for how long in the oven. I am a newby and I used premo turquoise and it came out too dark. I used 275 for 30 minutes. Yours stayed true to the color. I am using my home oven(digital) dial and using a foil tent also😊

[@grannyjclay-joannieholdhus925]

Of course!🩷 I bake for an hour at 275. I bake my pieces on a tile that I place on one of my cookie sheets. I cover it with a large foil pan. You may want to put an oven thermometer in your oven to see how hot it is actually getting. Your oven may get hotter than 275 even if you set it on 275. Happy to answer any of your questions anytime. Have a great day!❤️ God bless you!

I tried using the tape method to lift mica from my clay and it stuck to the clay and made texture. I don't know if my Clay was too warm and sticky or if I used the wrong tape ...

[@grannyjclay-joannieholdhus925]

I’m so sorry that happened to you.❤️ I use scotch tape and sometimes clear strapping tape. When I lay it on my piece to lift the pearl-ex, I tap it onto my piece fairly lightly. You use more tape doing it that way, but it works well. I have had tape stick to my piece before as well…not fun. Maybe a lighter hand when doing it? Since I wasn’t there, I’m not sure why yours stuck to your piece. Don’t give up! I have had to experiment a lot with different clay techniques over the last 30 years. Some work…others do not work. It is worth the time to try and figure out why something isn’t working….you’ll get there!! God bless you!!
