Loved your video! Can you share what you used to hold up the pin when you put it under the uv light. I looks like a piece of cork or something. I am looking for something to hold the pin while I am painting. Thank you.
Hiii, I just used small pieces of a kneaded eraser(the grey thingy) to lightly stick the clay to the wine cork(the brown piece)! The kneaded eraser is reusable, so when everything's done, I just collect it all back into one bigger ball of an eraser, haha.
these are so cute. I have a eco tank and I can say I can print for a billion years and not use a lot of ink. I made 25 little booklets with decorative pages and hardly put a dint in my ink.
That's interesting! I really think I want to invest in an eco tank printer within the next year honestly. Getting tired of spending so much on tiny ink cartridges! Haha
here in the philippines, we also have quite a similar dish as this one but we only call it, sinabawang tahong (mussels with soup/sauce) instead of white wine, we use water or lime lemon soda drink! garlic and ginger. soo tasty with vinegar, garlic, shallots and salt dip.
Thank you so much! I loved making clay pins and magnets, they're so fun to watch come together! Definitely going to make some more for a future shop update :]
omg so cute!! what kinda paint did you use?? most of the clay ive tried doesnt take paint well so i just use poscas but that whatever u used seemed to work just fine! actually so curious plssss lmk ahaha
Thanks!! It's just acrylic paint :] I usually thin it down with water or fluid medium! But I often have to do more than one coat of each color because the paint becomes more transparent since I thin it down. I've found it creates a smoother texture if I use thinner paint :]
Hi! I love your products ! You have a great talent. May I know what other gloss coats can you suggest aside from resin? Something that is safer but with a good finish.
Thankss!! Honestly, I haven't found a good alternative to using UV resin, haha. I have tried gloss varnish and it leaves a sticky finish that collects dust and hairs very quick. I've heard people have some luck with Sculpey Glaze in gloss or satin, and that it doesn't leave a sticky finish, but I've also seen people say over time it can get a little tacky. So I don't feel comfortable recommending anything other than UV resin at the moment! Creative Rachy on RU-vid has a good video on comparing different glaze options for polymer clay that might help you! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D7QNeG5TO2o.html
Thanks! They were pretty fun to make, but I wouldn't try to make too many unless I had some better equipment. Like an industrial guillotine cutter for one! That way I could cut a large stack of paper at once :]
ahh Thank you so much, so kind! I actually posted this to my insta months ago and it did really well! Figured I'd repost it here too :] Love how the painting turned out! Oil painting is so fun ^^
I've had an ecotank(ET-8550) for like 6 months now and the printing is very economical. I've only just now had to buy replacement ink for some of the colors(I print a lot, but I've only used a quarter of a tank of black somehow?). I think I did the math and a full color 8x10 print is somewhere around 12 cents worth of ink iirc? The quality of prints is gorgeous, though the ink isnt archival. Tbh I don't think anyone expects outside of certain juried art shows though anyway. Thanks for the comfy vlog
Thank you for sharing your experience with that printer! Something that I've noticed with my Epson Artisan 1430 printer, is that in order to make the best prints I can at home, I use the "Best Photo" option when printing. This makes the most crisp image possible, but I'm assuming it is also using more ink. I've been curious if people who have an Eco-Tank printer also use the "Best Photo" option, and still get a lot of use out of their ink when compared to someone with a standard photo printer like myself. Or is it pretty much the same ink output per print, but they just have larger "cartridges." If that makes sense, haha. That is interesting about the ink maybe not being archival though. The Epson inks I get for my printer are also water and fade resistant, which helps a ton as I also make stickers at home, mainly for my Patreon every month! Anyways, I'm surprised this printer has lasted me through college and years after. (I've read that my printer is one of the better made ones on forums) So when it finally decides to kick the bucket, I've got a lot of researching to do when deciding if an Eco-Tank or another photo printer like mine is right for me! Glad you enjoyed the vlog!! :]
Hi! I was wondering if you ever tried having magnets imbedded inside the clay so that is hidden (I want to make two keychains that magnetically attaches). I'm new to clay and wanted to surprise my long-distance partner with something ;-; This video has been pretty helpful so far, so many thanks!
I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it's possible! I'd probably stamp the magnet into the soft clay prior to baking, so the magnet sits in the clay nicely. Just don't bake the magnet in the oven with the clay! Haha. If you did this method, you'd have to make sure your clay is pretty flat and smooth though, if it's uneven it might make the magnet not connect well to a metal surface. Hope that helps!
@@brittanysalzone Oh wait that's honestly very smart! If I were to cover the magnet with the clay, it'll probably not work as well I'm assuming? But regardless, thank you so much for the reply! I'll try it right away !!
haha, the glass was actually a gift! But I'm in Georgia, closer to Atlanta :] I'd like to visit Savannah though, it seems nice! I use polymer clay by Sculpey, and no, it is not normal to have some bend to it. At least not once it is fully cooled after baking. Right when you take it out of the oven it might be a little flexible, but it hardens up when it cools. Hope that helps!
