Christi, I love your precision and excitement! I’ve had very little art instruction in the past, and you have fed me the courage to hunger for more!!! 💕

[@ChristiUniverse]

oh i'm so delighted Beverly!

That is the most adorable little sea creature. I don’t have pan pastels yet, but watching you work with them makes me want them lol

[@violetnewby]

I love livening things up with a spot of color... now I know how to do it with pan pastels. Fun!!

[@estherkerner5792]

I just got some and to say they are an addiction is correct. I love how they apply. So in love.

[@ChristiUniverse]

You're welcome!

[@mariakelley8410]

Do the PanPastels need to be sealed on the clay either before or after baking? And if so, what do you use to seal it with?

[@bluebluedogbooks]

Thanks.

Love your techniques! Is your sea critter free hand or a mold? He's adorable 😍

[@ChristiUniverse]

i handmade him ;-)

Nice video! Thank you. I do have a question. Next you need to bake after coloring...when done, do you need to put a finish on or does the pan pastel come off or does baking make it part of the piece with no finish?

[@ChristiUniverse]

yes, baking is next and the panpastel is pretty durable so you don't need to put a coating on BUT if it's a piece you are going to wear, then it's probably a good idea to add one for extra protection. i use Satin Liquid Sculpey and even water it down 10-20% so it's less shiny. i think the shine can interfere with any organic feel, but that's just my preference. whatever you use, make sure it is compatible with polymer clay - not all glazes/coatings are! that why i use the sculpey product: amzn.to/3JlPBLm
