Thanks for using a different colour paper when working with WHITE clay, Stephanie! I can actually SEE what you're doing! Another great video!

[@taniawelch1149]

Mushrooms are so mysterious, they seem out of our world

[@tessarosinaconstanza5166]

The lines are called gills. This is a lovely tutorial and also very relaxing to watch and hear.

[@kimmcneely2576]

A more scientific name is lamella

[@trustinyeshua5966]

This could NEVER be boring...it’s therapeutic...💕

[@elainemcbride6517]

Never bored watching your genius! You are an excellent instructor. Thank you so much.

[@stephanie.kilgast]

[@crystalweatherly8937]

I absolutely love mushrooms, not eating them but I admire their beauty. Your video is hypnotic, not boring at all. Thank you for sharing!

[@harmony331000]

You have such a wonderfully refreshing personality...so positive & encouraging, you inspire me so much, thank you for sharing this part of yourself with the world! ✌️🇨🇦♥️

[@lowkeythiccboi4030]

I'm impressed with how clean you keep the white clay

[@davidk.1089]

Wow! They are beautiful and very realistic. Very cool

[@gretahunt4401]

You are such an amazing clay artist, thank you for making these videos!

[@thecrafthacker4795]

Hooray! mushrooms!! How can fungus be so freaking adorable? One of the great mysteries I suppose. I love that they are non-traditional, nice job as always! ♡♡♡

[@NyxAiko]

I love these!

[@poetic_mystery]

These are beautiful! I have a friend who loves mushrooms and I wanna make them something so this video is great for inspiration ^_^

[@EstellaStaroftheEast]

Super cool mushrooms, love the bunch together!

[@stephanie.kilgast]

+Star of the East thank you 😊

[@littlebeebs1]

Haha ! Awesome! After seeing you paint your mushroom mural , I looked for poly clay mushroom videos and here you are . I see you are a fan of mushroom art as well . Glad I watched this . Never considered baking the top cap before adding the stem and gills . Love the cluster shape . Now I must try making mushrooms again. I want to make fake succulents. I have over 200 real succulents. But spider mites attacked them and made them ugly . The miticide killed my absolute favorite one. So I plan to sculpt it out of clay and immortalize it . Haha ! It’s a crested one . So it’ll be like making a succulent tree 😊

[@ildibeleznai1993]

This is fantastic how many way possible to make a mushroom. Yours is amazing!! Many tiny details!!!

[@superstarmanu042]

Can I use this technique even with emseal ?

[@juliejelaco5208]

what do you use to work on? I am new at polymer clay have not even opened my package yet but wondering what you work on? My daughter and I are going to do a fairy garden and thought I would make some things myself. I have to admit it looks a bit challenging

[@cheriwhitley8385]

Anyone know where to get the spatula took it says it’s not avail at the site she gave..thx

[@AEmeraldEntity]

Awesome! I wish I was as good as you. I can barely make realistic food and it takes me forever!

[@stephanie.kilgast]

ah well, I sculpt every day, practice makes perfect! and thanks!

[@w.s.1113]

Hallo Es ist der wahnsinn wie schön alle deine Sachen sind, habe mir in den letzten Tagen viele Videos von dir angesehen einfach klasse und auch als Abo gemacht :)) Schade das ich kein Englisch kann. Welches Polymer Clay ist das? Hätte noch so viele fragen , hoffe es gibt ein Übersetzungsprogramm ganz lieben Gruß aus Deutschland

[@jadeetdaly]

superbes (j'ai faim !!) et ceux là ne sont pas contaminés par la pollution .... bravo

[@stephanie.kilgast]

+jadeetdaly 😊

[@Alumina888]

Hi! I've just discovered your amazing channel recently. How do you keep your white clay dust free? When I've used polymer clay before, dust will always find its way onto the white even when i wash my fingers very thoroughly. I also use a microfiber cloth to clean my workspace. Thank you!

[@stephanie.kilgast]

I use blu-tack to clean my hands thoroughly before starting and I also tend to use scrap white clay to clean them during the sculpture. If something sticks to the white clay, I'll remove it by scraping it off with a blade. I also tend to texture a lot, which helps removing eventual dust of.

[@raissakulmanova9453]

❤️

[@JudysRevenge]

Why are the caps still when you are pressing the white clay under them to create the stem? Have you baked or prebaked them 1st? I noticed they were soft when pinching the caps, but stiff afterwards. Help please??

[@stephanie.kilgast]

yes I prebaked them

[@AFarmerCalledChicken]

I think the lines are called Gills. Like on a fish.

[@AliciaLopezCarvanserai]

niiiiiiice!!!!

[@deadbybee]

Is this the same kind of 3D sculpting art like you had the one on facebook with the crystals? :) Cool looking mushrooms!

[@stephanie.kilgast]

yes! absolutely! not as deep in terms of meaning I fear though. :)

[@raynecaddel-charette7349]

If anyone is trying this tutorial and wants reference pics, these are very similar to yellow oyster mushrooms!

[@marina_mlhn9674]

salut c trop réaliste c trop bien fait j'adore bisous bonne fin de vacance ;)

[@josieber8032]

What oart of France are you from I was in LaRochael when I was a child eairly 60's

[@stephanie.kilgast]

I was born in Germany in Frankfurt. I'm french because my mum is French. Now I live in Vannes.

[@yvonnemilner8785]

These are great. So realistic. I do have a question tho. In all of your experience have you every try to put the raw Clay on wood of any kind and cooked it in the oven that way. If not what would be the best way to attach them to wood after they have been cooked. ? super glue? Just curious. Totally all of your creativity.

[@stephanie.kilgast]

You have to bake apart and then glue it indeed. Or use epoxy clay as a bonding agent between the baked polymer clay and the object you want it on.

[@yvonnemilner8785]

@@stephanie.kilgast Thank you so much for the quick response. I will fill that away in my brain. I just wanted to thank you for all of your inspiration. You are so talented. Thank you again.

[@sonjachristoph7141]

coool☺

[@stephanie.kilgast]

^^

[@VictoriaRoseIsNotDeadYet]

Sorry if this is a question you have already answered, but what type of paper do you use when baking? Is it a type of parchment paper? I am an avid clay artist, and watching your videos is very inspirational and fun!

[@stephanie.kilgast]

plain paper

[@DragonHeart00926]

Cat meow at 0:36 lol

[@minaxy5468]

You have soooo much talent 🙊🙈 How many time you need to learn this to make soo beautyfull? And do you learn allon or you have this in school or something :) I hope you see my comment 🙈🙊❤️

[@stephanie.kilgast]

no, I learned by myself :)

[@catfusion9875]

When you said you put it on paper, will any paper do?

[@stephanie.kilgast]

yes

[@catfusion9875]

Thank you! :) I'll start making some today then.

[@ClydeinJapan]

These mushrooms look like they're out of Alice in Wonderland! (lol) I love the shape and colors. They're stunning! Great vid Steph! (^^)v

[@stephanie.kilgast]

thank you so much :)

[@jakequlenn5227]

[@mysticoloddish8709]

Stephanie Kilgast // PetitPlat awww okay :)

[@tonykatieherres9991]

[@romeliadarosa4180]

This time I will use Woodprix instructions to make it easy with my own hands.
