Wait... I'm alive??? AAAGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHB AAAGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I wanna make so many Smiling Friends characters!
Made some trinket dishes to give away as gifts for Christmas. I hope they are good enough 😮💨
I have an idea but wanted to see if anyone has seen it work before I go buy molds. Using air dry clay, could I make slip, pour it into a silicon resin or baking mold, allow it to dry, and then have a good product to paint?
I saw this on pinterest while looking for some diy clay calender. I'm no professional and i just enjoy art so i usually start making literally anything without any plan and just a reference pic. But given it's a gift, i tried looking for a tutorial and couldn't find anything. It's probably a wooden calender idk.
Basically im asking for suggestions on how to start with this or any tips that'll help. Also I'll be using air dry clay
Hello - my partner and i want to make a foot shaped spoon rest for my parents. I know it's kind of out there but I think it would be a good holidfay gift haha
We are very lost on where to start. We don't have a pottery studio near us. So we were thinking of air clay? is there other clay we can use/ gloss that is edible since it wil be used for spoons? Very lost and just want to give it a good safe effort - Any help is super appreciated!
If there is a better subbreddit for this type of question please let me know! Thanks :)
My husband brought home a good amount of natural clay. We live in North Central Florida. Unfortunately, the bucket that it was put into to soak in water had some kind of gas or oil residue in it. So now the clay smells of it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could remove the smell? Maybe soap or something?
I made this when just starting out with Apoxy Clay after getting frustrated with how brittle polymer clay can be. I fell in love with it.
I didn't really know what to make but ended up deciding on this cactus ring holder. I was really excited, but I don't really love how it turned out. I've been trying to figure out what it is that I don't like and how to improve it next time. Don't get me wrong, I'm proud of it, but not satisfied. Any insights would be helpful.
So I’ve recovered my love for polymer miniature clay art and this is the first thing I made. Can y’all let me know what should I improve on so the cookies look real. And also what kind of other food items I can make that’s beginner friendly.
Hi there!
I’m making my first air dry clay project (it’s actually a Christmas gift for boyfriend). I’d like to know if I could possible use transparent builder gel (for nails) as uv resin to give the eyes (half bead) a glossier look and if it would work after curing with the lamp.
Has anyone ever tried this? I kinda would like to avoid buying UV resin only for this purpose so I was wondering if I could use what I already have at home :)
Thank you all! 💚
PS: I’d post the pic here of my lil project but he uses Reddit as well and knowing him, I wouldn’t doubt he actually joined this sub for his various hobbies 🙏🏼😂
If you can put the name or link it will be nice!
