I’m so happy that I have found this channel. I have done polymer clay for years, but have been out of it for about six years. Boy have things changed. I’m back into it now and your tutorials are amazing. Thank you so so much! Who is❤

[@myclayco]

Oh thank you, that means so much to us 🥹 We love clay and teaching so we are really enjoying making these tutorials! Have fun experimenting now that you’re back into it! ❤️

It’s been even longer for me. Watching these videos has helped me a lot in wanting to get back into it they’ve given me confidence to give it a go again they give so much inspiration with all they make all the tips and tricks that I never knew. Love watching all the girls do. I hope you make some wonderfully beautiful things. Cheers 🇦🇺

i love using mica powders on clay i started off using the pearl x brand but now i use any brand cos they all work! :-)

[@myclayco]

Yes, I haven’t met a mica or pigment powder I didn’t like yet! They work so well with clay!

[@luniversdekiki6678]

Thank you very much❤

[@myclayco]

You're most welcome 😊

[@jenjenoz]

This was an awesome video, thank you so much! I love mica powders too!

[@myclayco]

My pleasure! Haha yes, I have a slight obsession, they’re so fun!! ✨

[@blessthisemptynest]

Love all your designs in this vid, I love using mica and uv resin as it makes it pop that extra bit. Need to get my clay and mica’s out and have a play.

[@myclayco]

Thank you 🥰 yes, I love playing with mica and clay! Don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed with a make!

[@domimassou5457]

Gorgeous work 👏 😊

[@myclayco]

Thanks so much ☺️❤️

[@thomaseanbritten2247]

I'll bet you get asked every video...What type of pasta machine do you use? Thanks for explaining so well.

[@myclayco]

Always happy to share! I have used an Atlas 150 for years and love it ❤️ We also recently got a Lucy Clay machine in the studio - it is amazing but comes with a big price tag! The Marcato Atlas 150 machines work so well with clay and are around $100 (very worth it for the hard work they take out of conditioning!). You can also get a 180 version if you need a bigger machine 😊

[@mayashein4608]

Will bake and bond or/and polymer softener work similar to the liquid clay?

[@myclayco]

Bake and bond will work similar 😊

[@AQVids]

Should you drill the whole before or after adding gloss or satin or it doesn’t matter?

[@myclayco]

I find it best to add it before drilling holes otherwise the glaze can clog them up 😊

[@jillhansen6582]

I love that stencil. Do you sell that online?

[@myclayco]

Yes, I love it too! It’s the Lavish stencil on our website 😊

[@jillhansen6582]
