@@CamillaHenriksen-w5p my friend made it for me with an acrylic laser cutter. I dk if she still sells these, but look for “acrylic keycap holder” and hopefully you can find something
I'm late to the party and you probably already figured out what your'e doing with this, but it has me wondering if there is some sort of coating you could apply to them to keep them from scuffing
This tutorial is really good! Thank you! Also thanks for letting me know there's glow-in-the-dark clay! I'm gonna have a lot of fun with that stuff!! Also also, I looove Smiski! These turned out so cute!
I prefer not to bake first because if I make a mistake, I can try to fix it or I can just scrap the whole cane and reuse the clay as filler for other projects!
@@Tomatoda Also I'm curious what clay do you use? I've been using sculpey premo and even after freezing i feel like I don't retain the image quality. maybe I'm just being too aggressive with how i'm reducing though
Ahahahahhaa thank you for being so thoughtful like that! 😆 Pikmin are these really cute creatures (from a video game) that have to be plucked from the ground to be added to your team. And the blue Pikmins are water types! So i made a cup out of the concept! ❤️
Lately I've been working in manufacturing and it's not a surprise at all. It's super easy to think of a company as a monolith, but everything is made by different people. Monday mornings you could have an employee whos experienced and quality minded, Tuesday night its a new guy who hardly knows the machine. The guy whos worked there for years and doesn't care anymore, the manager has to make a call that its not worth remaking 20 things for a small fleck, or the guy who will remake it even if he gets yelled at cause the alignment was bad and it's gonna bug him all day. I've also found it very interesting to learn that there's other stuff that's pretty much out of anyone's control. For example things that UV cure are affected by the weather, so it can behave differently every day. Color shifts tiny amounts day by day, so if part of something is bad we have to pitch it and remake the whole thing to avoid the risk of noticeable color differences when things sit side by side. That said if the product doesn't meet your needs it doesn't meet your needs. My advice to other artists out there is to be as clear and concise as possible, follow template rules they're there for a reason (No bleed hurts my soul every time), and do your best not to shoot the messenger. It's pretty much guaranteed that the person that messed your stuff up is not the one you're talking to. I imagine I look something like my friends who worked as waiters, and now they can't help but stack their dishes at restaurants lol. I definitely didn't think about any of this when I was just coming at it as an artist and wanted to share.
This is probably your most recent Vograce video so I thought I’d just ask here- Have you ever made a mistake of ordering the wrong size? Because I did and I’m not sure if I can fix it, during the proofs I asked if it was possible to change but I haven’t had a response yet 😭 it’s at least not on one of my charms that would be the most popular, but it doesn’t match the other charm that it’s supposed to go with (original characters)
Yes. But I didn’t realize the size mistake until I received the product. However, since you caught it during the proof review, I don’t think it went into production yet cuz that would be stupid to start on something that was not approved. Most likely I think they’ll say yes and charge or refund you the difference. It is also peak ordering season so they might be late with the reply
I think a disclaimer is safe for you as a seller and that way people know what to expect! Got some star shaped ones at my local daiso and plan to do something kirby themed with them!
That’s a whoooole long topic. But short version: it depends on the company. Some companies will let u get away with it and some companies (like Disney) will come after you, your pets, your family, and your descendants
I separate as much solid colors as possible and with the colors I can’t separate, it goes into a scrap pile to be used for other projects! I usually use the scrap as fillings for beads or other charms.
Hi! I use scrap white clay and dab it on the inside of the extruder (or wherever the color clay is stuck) and it picks up the remaining clay. I’ll try to make a quick short about it today.
For some reason when I even put a thin layer of the resin over my polymer clay charm and put it under the uv lamp for more than 6 minutes it doesn't wanna cure 😭like its still wet and its frustrating
