Polymer Clay VS Homemade Clay from A Polymer Clay Artist

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

Does this make you want to try homemade clay or stick with polymer ?

[@adinaa6335]

I would like stick with polymer. Would like to learn how to make the beaded, cabochons made of clay. I watched lots of your videos but didn’t find anyone in south Florida to teach it.

[@jenniferroya3606]

Not for me because I’ve grown to love the feel of PC when I work with it. I still have so much to learn with PC so I think I’ll stick with it for now while my time is limited. Who knows though maybe later

[@urbanchili]

I use both. Depending on what I make. I did use polymer a long time ago, but was mostly wasting it, so I started with home made, making bigger things. Then I found your channel and bought some polymer and a pasta machine to make beads.

[@frenchi54ify]

I like PC I just baked my first batch

[@zoeemiko8149]

I'll be enjoying both. Each has it's own joy.

I have arthritis in my hands & had taken to sitting on my polymer clay for a bit before kneading it to condition. There were 2 reasons I began doing this. The first is the clay softens so it's easier & quicker to condition. The second reason was the warmth it gets from my body heat made it soothing to my hands. When I was diagnosed one of the things my Dr said to avoid was not using my hands. In fact he suggested I take up some sort of craft that exercised my hands & kept them as limber as possible. That's when I discovered polymer clay & your channel. I admit at first it was rough & the time I could spend was quite limited. It was winter when I first began & the clay felt cold & so hard to work with until I'd conditioned it for some time. That led me to try sticking it under my thigh to warm. Happily that also made the clay softer. A year later I'm a major polymer clay/TurtleSoupBeads addict & my hands are very strong along with being quite flexible. This is wonderful news for someone with arthritis! It means less pain! I can't wait to try making & using some of this cold porcelain clay and adding to my growing I can do this! library. One other thing I'd like to mention I do when it's chilly & especially when it's damp outside is keep a tube sock filled with rice that's been heated in the microwave close by to wrap my hands in for a short bit when they begin to yell at me. Then I'm right back at it.. playing with more clay. Thanks so much for sharing this with us Susan. In my case, and in others I've no doubt, you've been an inspirational godsend.

[@susannemallmann2018]

A friend of mine actually puts it in her bra to heat it up. Lol

[@joycematso4730]

Thank you for sharing your tips - I will definitely try this for my hands as well 🤗

[@zoeemiko8149]

@@susannemallmann2018 Good idea!

[@DianeSwett]

Thankyou for your story. I too began using polermer clay when I was diagnosed in 1990 with fibromyalgia and was having a lot of pain and stiffness in my hand. I like your idea of the rice bags. in 2003 I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and still using polymer clay. Unfortunately I just discovered Turtle Soup Beads and have become an Avid watcher of Susan's. i love her tips and find that i am so inspired by her relaxed way of doing things.

[@juliesczesny90]

[@zoeemiko8149]

Just a heads up for those who have several dull blades laying around. You can sharpen them on the bottom of a stoneware coffee mug! Just sharpen like you would a knife on a sharpening stone. Hold at a slight angle and drag across the ring on the bottom that's usually not glazed. Only go in one direction ! I picked one up at Dollar Tree. It took me about 10 minutes to sharpen 7 dull blades.

[@downtime86stars17]

I've been using a piece of fine sandpaper, but your tip sounds better. Thanks!

[@fondasharkey-wyatt9944]

A great idea!

[@jone6635]

Yobanka Art has a home made clay recipe she makes with rice flour, it's firmer than the one made with corn flour, doesn't shrink and you don't have to cook it and it is also very very strong. Just another option to try. Susan, it doesn't matter what material you use you make amazing and beautiful things. Thank you

[@Zen.....]

oh i've watched a lot of her vids but I really don't speak the language so could have missed it, so can you just list the recipe for rice flour cp?

[@mymai2792]

Yes Teatime N Dolls channel - has the rice recipe from Yobanka translated into English. It looks a lot sturdier than the cornflour mix & doesn't shrink.

I was not aware of the homemade air-dry clay. Good to see this comparison. Your work is gorgeous in both media.

[@sharoncochran8508]

When my children were young, we set aside a day every year to make ornaments. We used this air dry clay several times. The ornaments lasted indefinitely. I had forgotten about my limited claying experiences! Thanks for another great tutorial!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

It's a really nice and durable product just doesnt have the same qualities of polymer

[@sharoncochran8508]

TurtleSoupBeads I agree! If I had not discovered you on U-tube I would not have fallen in love with polymer clay. I might not ever be considered an artist but it is so relaxing and so much fun!

[@christiedecker2724]

As someone who has used Cold Porcelain almost exclusively, it's nice to hear you say it's different, not bad. Thank you so much. I had purchased polymer clay years ago on clearance sales (low income here) and the clays were so hard and 'dried out' and I pretty much gave up on them. I love working in Cold Porcelain and have made many life-like flowers from it. Thank you!

[@berniceseigel6482]

You have outdone yourself with this video. You are a fantastic polymer artist. I enjoyed every minute listening and watching you work. As you said, this may not be for everyone, but it was sooooo enjoyable to watch you. Thanks.

[@eileengavinlarsen4509]

"So I was wondering what would happen if I ..." ~Susan, TurtleSoupBeads I just love your curiosity, experiments, and delight in discovery, Susan! Thanks for showing us the process and results. So enlightening. I had given up on paper clay, but this cold porcelain clay definitely seems worth a go. You're the best!!

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

paper clay users gave this clay a better review so that's why I choose this one

[@zoeemiko8149]

It's a few days after you posted your video and I've had a chance to try making homemade clay. I tried various ways of coloring the clay and adding different amounts of glitter & mica powder. I got some fantastic colors & effects! It's definitely softer than polymer clay and fun to work with for a change. That said I love the control I have using polymer clay. My end results using the homemade clay were much more organic looking but I like that effect also. My roses turned out gorgeous! I found I could use my cutters by dipping them into corn starch but I had to clean them between each cut so it was really time consuming. The twists were gorgeous! I wouldn't give up my polymer clay but this is a fantastic addition to my clay experience & won't be the last time I use it.

[@LovinLife-pv7op]

At 4:37 when you were still mixing in the teal glitter, that was stunning the way it was stripped!

[@k.s.9821]

This was the first video of you that I found. Even when your style is totally different to mine, you are very inspiring as an artist and a very good teacher. Well, another way to tint the homemade clay is to add food colorant. In Latin America, cold porcelain is far more popular than polymer clay, because until a few years, polymer clay was not to find anywhere, and if then, it's very expensive. Lola Temprado, a spanish crafter, has a receipt for homemade clay that can be baked and it looks like opaque glass when dried. The name of the clay is Pasta Cristal.

[@keitheddie5]

You meant “recipe,” not “receipt”.

[@shellybeals2806]

This is a great tutorial and thank you for all the information and all your time to figure this all out. You’re the best Susan 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💗💗💗

[@annieb1012]

Beautiful! Thanks so much for taking the time to produce this comparison. [BTW, "porcelain clay" is a confusing misnomer, as that would be the mineral clay you fire in a kiln. This is "cold porcelain," indicating no firing involved.] I still have simple beads I made in the 1970s from the old cornstarch-and-baking-soda clay, rock-hard and even still smelling the same! That formula, which included no glue, allowed me to run a needle through each bead while it was still "wet." Your much-more-sophisticated little flowers and leaves are truly lovely.

[@barbarajoy5658]

Wonderful video THANK YOU :) I have a few questions. Can you run air dry/porcelain clay thru a pasta maker and also can you do a skinner blend with it, if so? THANK YOU!!!

[@frankcosta6592]

Thank you, Susan. It’s easy to become complacent with the media we use, and dismissive of homemade alternatives, so it was nice to see you put the clay through it’s paces, see what it could do, and how it compared to the polymer clay, leaving the viewer to form their own opinions as to using one medium or the other. Bests!

[@rosalynhopkins8814]

Yes, thank you so much Susan. They turned out beautifully. ❤🤗

[@teatimendolls]

I've been binge watching. I love love love the techniques, tricks and tips in the videos I've watched thus far. I am like so mesmerized by how your mind works. Words cannot describe how I'm captivated by your amazing work. The first video I saw, you used nail art foil and it reminded me of how I print on regular copy paper and use it as a sticker to make some charms. I create digital images and downsize the images and adhere it to polymer clay. I mostly do papercrafts and sewing, however, now and again I incorporate it with clay charms. Yobanka art is one of my inspirations as well, lucky for me I do speak Spanish so I understand everything she is saying. You have inspired me to take this to another level. Thank you humbly for sharing your inner world with us. Blessings...Carolyn

[@theprocraftanator1967]

Another fabulous video, I loved the bracelets and necklaces. Thank you for doing the comparison

[@Zen.....]

ty for this very fair comparison. I've been watching polymer clay videos and trying to adapt to air dry clay cos yeah pc is hard to get in all its colours over here. I use nail gel top coat to varnish and I mix daiso clay with cp clay to make it even lighter.

[@chanalowenthal3897]

You can use food color gel or paste (not the food coloring from the supermarket!) that’s used in cake decorating. Sometimes we use cold porcelain too!

[@carolines5559]

Hi Susan if you add oil paint stead of acrylics it will be as polymer clay you can cut it with a blade and with the same cutters. Acrylic paint will change the consistency and make it sticky.

[@tkhq19]

I love way you explain this in detail. Very beautiful creations

[@Karibee61]

What a brilliant tutorial Susan; thank you so much for sharing this.

[@aleahlrb]

Tip: Use plastic tools for this type of clay. A plastic knife and roller from a kid's modelling clay set is good to be used.

[@dianajohnson7337]

Ty for sharing. I was wondering about using it for ornaments or tops of memory box embellishment too.

[@TurtleSoupBeads]

[@AngryBrother360]

ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!. Well explained and demonstrated!.

[@ericaluneack8667]

Nivea hand cream works great when it’s sticky too. And acrylic paint, crayola markers, sharpie’s, basically anything inky or wet in your craft supplies will work. The only problem with the air dry is the lack of details and colors. It’s difficult to know for sure how the color will be until it dries and it doesn’t always hold textures well. Also you can coat your tools & blades in the Nivea cream to prevent sticking.

[@MarilynRayKnopic]

I really enjoyed this as I am a Creative Cats fan too .... I mostly use my cold porcelain clay for sculpting feathers and delicate flower work but, the one thing that really drew me to making my own is that no matter how many times you drop it ...it will not break ...not even chip! Thanks for sharing :D

[@safehavensanctuary-hollyg.8814]

Marilyn Ray Knopic is cold porcelain clay different than what SUSAN showed in this video? I was wondering about how fragile the clay would be.

@@safehavensanctuary-hollyg.8814 It's exactly what Susan said and demonstrated :D It's a different medium but, I love working with both polymer clay and cold porcelain . . . I love making peonies with cold porcelain

[@DianeSwett]

@@TurtleSoupBeads Susan could you give me a link to the recipie for the cold porcelain clay you used. Thanks.

[@cynthiaharrison4610]

Cold porcelain is wonderful for delicate details. It's easy to do layered rose petals because the clay will retain it's shape after just a few minutes. It does shrink like you said, that causes problems in my pearls and faceted stone settings sometimes, but my success rate is about 85% so I can live with it. Also for less mess and deeper color saturation I use food coloring straight out of the bottle. As long as you have your 3 primary colors you can mix any color you want, careful though a little goes a long way and keep in mind that most colorents will dry darker.. Oh, one more thing, I suspect the glitter may have something to do with your "snakes" breaking up. I can roll out to 1mm wide, and it dries as thin as a needle, even acrylic colored clay. Anyway I really enjoyed your video, keep sharing and experimenting.

[@sassycat378]

Awesome showing the differences between the 2 clays. Have you seen Telco Neck she does amazing things with air dry clay

[@YARNBARF]

[@JeromeGardiner]

Parchment paper if used as the surface for your work station; it saves you time and is perfect for rolling out your clay.

[@teriaguilera921]

Beautiful turquoise earrings! Thank you for the comparison 👍🏻

[@nadineavis4625]

My preference is cold porcelain clay over polymer clay every time. It is great to use with molds and cutters. It holds ridges and points beautifully. It doesnt need to be baked and I love that. I usually use acrylic paint and often stop mixing so it make the marbled look. I dont try to use it in the same way as polymer clay. I agree that you just play to the strengths of the clay you use. You get the feel of the clay as you use it. Making your own clay is not expensive so you can afford to experment with it. Another thing I like to do with it is use my acrylic and rubber stamps and inks, Beautiful! I find the shrinkage to be more like 10 percent. Not sure why our difference. Im in Utah. Thanks for your tutorial. It was nicely done.

[@KellyBellcambridgegiftsbykelly]

Thanks Susan! I’ve used this over the years and the draw for me was always the softness and delicate look at finish. Very nice for tired hands. I like paper clay too - for some of the same reasons. Both are nice for modeling - as long as shrinkage is kept in mind. Thanks for sharing and happy claying. 🎨

[@sherylstock8687]

Thank you for showing us the comparison, it is interesting. I like the idea of the softness of the home made clay, but as you say, you can not get the same definition as you can with polymer clay. I think it would be nice to have the beads a little smaller, it would be kind of fun to not know what you are going to get, just have to allow for the shrinkage. I like watching the videos where they make the clay, not sure of the reason, but watching the pan go from stuff stuck all over to absolutely clean is a bit fun. Lol!

Thank you for doing this. I have a suggestion.There is a product called natriumbenzoat that is used for food preservatives. It prevents fungus and mould and is a better choice than vinegar, because acid products can get fungus and mould too.

Something neat to do with this clay is make a clay "icing" and pipe designs with it. It air dries fast and is strong and flexible. Make recipe as usual but add wood glue and water to thin and mix until not chunky at all. Needs to be thick but thin enough to pipe out. Have fun.
