Scrapscape Polymer Clay Tutorial

[@jodinicholas890]

Nice job for your first. I love to clay, but I haven't tried doing videos.

[@kerriefearby9542]

Genius! It looks so much like Fairlsle Knitting pattern. I hope you do lots more tutorials. Thank you for sharing.

[@Binkles]

I see you’ve produced only two videos in two weeks so far, and because I’m greedy for new ideas, I’m disappointed you’ve not produced yet more. ☺️ Get crackin’, lady! 😀 But seriously, I love it when someone seemingly appears out of nowhere with fresh ideas! When my creativity seems to be blocked, I thrash about KZbin looking for inspiration, and it’s always amazing when someone brand new pops out of the woodwork with bold new ideas, new ways of doing old things, and so on. And with scrap tutorials, most of us are already halfway to the finish line; we simply need someone to inspire us, or to point the way to a result. Your scrapscape idea is extremely easy to execute and yet results in some of the most beautiful patterns I’ve ever seen in polymer. Thanks ever so much, Seana, and best of luck to you in your future polymer endeavors, and thanks a million for sharing with us! I see great things in your (and our!) future! 💋

[@seanabettencourt3751]

Lol! I'm working on it! I have a paid tutorial that I have to work on for Craftcast and I have family in from out of town, so I am behind in my tutorials. I have so e more ideas I am working on. I promise there will be more soon. My granddaughter is waiting too! 😁

[@SashasRevenge]

I loved what you said. At first I thought you were complaining, I should have know that you weren’t because she is just too cute, don’t you think? I love what you said, you just about took the words out of mouth. I like how she doesn’t drag things out and gets right to the point. I don’t know why she’s so worried about the pattern matching up though, because that’s what makes it so unique! Cheers to you both, I’m glad that I found her as well. ❤

What a great way to use those end bits of canes. Great tutorial. Thanks for sharing, Seana!

[@allisonjames2923]

That is amazing! I was expecting some complex pattern matching right at the start, so was mind blown when you smooshed, swirled, rolled & then cut & tada… a hidden magic type pattern appears ✨ Really really cool technique thank you 😊

[@sherryrobinson1365]

One of the secrets to that swirl is to use something like the end of a needle tool to start the curl process, clay needs to be soft, so let it rest between your finger and thumb for a min to warm it up so that it will move easier as you pull it into a tight circle. Also works easier if you’ve got it on a piece of patty paper or a ceramic tile so you can turn as you form the circle.

[@jls12341000]

@@sherryrobinson1365 dumb question: I see “patty paper” mentioned here and there. What is it exactly? Parchment, waxed, plastic? :)

[@MargaretSchindel]

You did a terrific job with this. No one would guess it’s your first video tutorial! I love this way to use scrap. In fact, I don’t do a lot of caning, but I might try making some simple “cane ends” specifically for this technique.

Hello Seana, your work is wonderful and very creative. Each creation would be one of a kind, amazing. I have yet to work with polymer and am trying to learn by watching as many artists in this media as possible. Gathering tools to work with isn’t so hard but I can’t seem to find the type of burnisher/smoother you are using. Would you please let me know where I can acquire one? Thank you.

[@seanabettencourt3751]

I have been asked this question so many times. I wish I could help but the place I got it doesn't carry it anymore. I believe it is a coffee tamper. You can use an old doorknob. Obviously not one with a lock, but one for an interior door. Lol. Another option is one of those stainless steel soap things. They are supposed to remove smells from your hands. They work ok, but I like the handle. I hope that helps.

That will be for a later tutorial but I can try to explain. Cut a wedge and start at the point and curl it in on its self. Press it down so it sticks to the table. Then slowly start to swirl the rest of the wedge around the middle. Take your time and stretch the outside of the swirl ever so slightly as you go and tap it down to the table to stick it down as you go. It just takes patience.
