♡ Varnish - Amazon: www.amazon.com/...
♡ You can use any acrylic paint :) I have primary colours & black & white and mix these to make my own palettes. I store these in empty poster paint set pots (I buy them and empty out the paint) so that I can use them anytime without them drying out.

[@harriet12346810]

Amazing tutorial, it was really useful because I sometimes find it quite hard to replicate things from just a reference photo so step by step really helped! Just a quick question, does anyone know what temperature you have to pre heat your oven to as I know that it can vary between different sizes ^_^ thank you sm x

[@jyotirmayeeswain1144]

Is Oytra polymer clay good for beginners

[@marysb.1517]

Muy hermoso, gracias por compartirlo, te dejo muchos saludos!! :)

[@Kmaia.art1]

how do you blend, mine got all deformed, and dont blend :(

[@eveym03]

how much do i bake small pieces like these?? or the white one?

[@freyaguppy]

Making this for my friend for his birthday, he loves all of Studio Ghibli's movies, I also made my own No Face, Princess Mononoke mask and Calcifer from Howl's Moving Castle. I'm thinking I'll also do JiJi from KiKi's Delivery Service ^ ^

[@chani_4975]

wouah ! it's beautiful ! I'm french and I understand you video😘 but I haven't got special painting for this...Can I use gouache paint ?

[@TheLittleMew]

Chani .c because gouache remains activated, it will be wiped off with the glaze. Acrylic paints, regardless of quality, work the best!

[@chani_4975]

The Little Mew Ok, thank you very much. And your furnace, how many degrees Celsius?

[@TheLittleMew]

Chani .c About 115 degrees Celsius :)

[@user-tk4nr1zw3d]

Chani _ 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑⛺⛺⛺⛺
