I love how these turned out, colors are amazing. I enjoy your tutorials. Thanks

Your dogs barking made me smile. Our Bull Arab Rocky passed away New Year’s Day and I miss his big deep bark that made me feel secure. He let strangers know to stay away. I didn’t feel as safe whilst hubby was in India 2 weeks ago. I did feel lonely without Rocky by my side. Thanks for your inspiration.

I love your videos ❣️ I'm always inspired by you women that I think I'm gonna try to create a channel but I have only been doing this for almost 2 years. I saw one of Fiona Abel Smiths' video and it was all down hill from there. I turned my bedroom into my studio and my husband said, "well just leave room on the bed so I can get a little sleep in between work and it's all yours 🤣 God love him..he's a trooper and a keeper. love your video! and the colors are simply beautiful ❤️

[@TheCreativeDork5]

You have a great husband!!!!

I was so into watching your video with my nifty earbuds and I heard my 2 dogs and it sounded like they needed some out time, so I put you on pause and got up was floored when I got up and they weren’t at the door but asleep on the couch. I was quite puzzled. Then it hit me. I went back to video and found out that yours were just playing a trick on me 😂😂😂. I am so thrilled to know I wasn’t really losing it at least for this brief moment. 🤪 Enjoyed the video was truly excited about trying my own polymer project.

[@TheCreativeDork5]

Omgosh, I do the same. I don't know how many times I've heard someone's dog in a video and thinking mine were out there barking lol.

[@lloydeneweiks9621]

These came out beautiful Irene. And your small relief cutters are awesome I like how deep the cutting edge was aside from how sharp you always make them

[@TheCreativeDork5]

Thank you so much!!

[@MisKandi]

I did one very similar and used pearl instead of white, but I lightened it (50/50) with the white and it was so beautiful. Just the right amount of sparkle.

[@darlaboyle1074]

They turned out amazing! I really like how you used up your scraps. I know I saw you do that before but I completely forgot about it. OMGoodness! When you started laying the backing on the scrap swirly clay, I was yelling at my phone, No-no-no! Check the other side! 🤷‍♀️ I guess you didn't hear me. LoL 😆

[@TheCreativeDork5]

I was so mad lol. I can't believe I did that. I really wish I could have heard you

[@leonanelson2444]

Beautiful, thank you

[@lornasaner1130]

Beautiful.

[@sharoncochran5534]

Really cool technique and awesome colors!

[@TheCreativeDork5]

Glad you like it!

[@melbabowen4389]

You could mix some pearl with the white. That would be nice as well.

[@kerryhall7506]

Hi Irene these turned out really nice l wish l had that problem of which cutters am l going to use lol 💕💕💕💕

[@rachaelmennor]

Love your videos. Watched all of them. Do you have any lotus flower cutters or have you made any ohm symbol small cutters? They are very hard to find. Would. Be great to have some of those. Thanks for all that you do ❤️❤️

[@TheCreativeDork5]

Thanks so much. I do have lotus flowers. 211. 219. And 344. Hope that's what you're looking for. If you need another shape, just let me know. I try and make anything :-)

[@beatricecodianni1782]

Can i use airdry clay?

[@jillrenshaw6509]

Really lovely! Does the mica powder rub off easily if it's not varnished/resined?

[@TheCreativeDork5]

Yes it can. It's always best to coat mica powders in a varnish, clear coat, or resin

[@jillrenshaw6509]

Thanks!

[@kox-killzcymerii3322]

Hi. What kind of powder You usi g to color clay? What brand etc? Great job. Im gona try to make thouse myself

[@TheCreativeDork5]

It's just mica powder. Any brand will work

[@JenniferShobak-gq5ex]

Hi! Did you resin them first? Before tumbling?

[@TheCreativeDork5]

Tumble and then resin

[@brendanewton4467]

where do I buy the cutters? Great tut

[@TheCreativeDork5]

Should be a link in the video but my shop is here Www.etsy.com/shop/thecreativedork

[@rebegotadeagua8555]

Porque en el momento de laminar, dobla la pieza hacia adentro o sea el color queda adentro y cuando la muestra se ve todo el color? Cómo si la.hubiera Doblado con el color hacia afuera?

[@oleia78]

Te refieres a cuando hace el bastón con las sobras del primer corte? O a qué momento te refieres?

[@carolhammond9624]

Blob #1 looks a little like a blue bird.

[@JaneHamilton-xk2rx]

I would suggest getting a portable mic. It is difficult to hear you when you go off camera
