Polymer Clay 101 - Conditioning Clay, Colour Recipes & Mixing Colours (Handmade Earring Tutorial) 

This is by far the best color mixing video I have ever seen. So easy to understand the way you show! Thanks

I love the entire video, super helpful. You did a wonderful job covering a ton of useful info for a beginner like me. Great job

Nice detailed video- like the colour theory. If you have crumbly clay, you can add mineral oil or petroleum jelly/vaseline to soften it - use the tiniest amount you need and gradually add a little more if needed, this softens it up nicely and will be fine in tiny amounts, but if clay is really hard/crumbly and/or needs to be really strong for thinner pieces that will get some wear like jewellery/keyrings, it could be worth buying clay conditioner as this contains plasticiser whereas mineral oil will dilute the clay slightly as it has no plasticiser which is what makes the clay cure, and could weaken the clay a bit. Many people use it with no problems so worth trying on a small batch to test the hardness after curing. Wish I realised I didn’t need to buy all the colours 🤦‍♀️ especially if you are a beginner or don’t use it often you don’t want to have loads of clay going hard before you use it up. On storage, some plastics react to the clay over time. Ziplock bags tend to be ok, I saw a video somewhere that told you what to check for to see what type of plastic container you have.

I've just started using polymer clay and I'be been searching for an explanation on color mixing like this for a looooong time! Thank you so much for sharing!

I appreciate the all the painstaking examples you demonstrated for us. You were so detailed! Thank you so much! ❤️

Very, very useful and money saving. Thank you

Some damn fine advice if I might say so 💯💯

You can put a drop or two of baby oil in a plastic baggy and then put your clay in it. It will absorb the oil and be beautiful.

TYSM!! this helped me make the perfect aqua

Thank you so much ❤

can you please make more colour mixing recipes? especially light pastels and neutrals thanks a lot :)

what is the name of the green you recommend please

Thank youuu for making this video

Super helpful 😍

You can chop your hard clay into little bits and add just a few drops of mineral oil (for that black I would start with 3 drops) and toss the clay like a salad and let it sit over night and your clay will become soft.😅 We also need to know exactly what colors of clay your using. Also every brand has the same colors but they are not exactly the same.

You could have your colour recipes for sale in PDF form, so helpful!

Thanks.

Use a pasta maker, so much easier.

Watching your video was very helpful! So thank you for the tips and tricks! Only one negative thing I have to say about it all is that you say “um,” way too many times in your video, and that made it really hard for me to watch this video all at once. I needed the information so I watched it, but in parts. Thank you 😊
