Thank you! That doesn’t sound weird, at all. I think that’s a lovely compliment 💜

Thank you very much! 😍

Thank you

You’re welcome!

Thank you ❤️

I agree! The resin ones are my fave!

I loved the colours in these and had a go myself last week - however, did not have the right colours - too impatient to get them so went with what I had. Mine were too pink. Lesson learned. Get the right colours!!

Thanks ❤️💕

Thank you! 😊

I am in the USA 😀

I thinks it’s mine, too. I always like to try it both ways, but yeah, in this instance, resin wins!

I don’t use textures on the back of faux stones.

@@clayboutique I guess that would take away from the “stone” effect lol. I was just looking at the use of the mold😊

Thanks!

I prefer the ones with resin, too. Thank you 💕

It’s ok! Thanks. Yes, you could easily change the colors!

I’m in Ohio!

Cernit is only 10 degrees lower than Premo, and doesn’t seem to harm it when baking at 275. I wouldn’t mix Cernit with Fimo, for example. But mixing Cernit and Premo is fine, and baked at the higher temp. You need to bake it at the higher temp, otherwise Premo wouldn’t be fully cured at 265.

I use several different clays in my videos, and yes, Cernit, Pardo and Premo white translucent are clearer.

The light shows the fractured look, I just don’t have a means to get the light behind the piece.

This was recorded in April, so I have no recollection of my weather references.

I personally use the clay softener. For your pieces not to break, it’s not the baking longer, though I always bake longer than recommended on the package, it’s to bake at the correct temperature. Your oven might read 275, but it’s not actually 275. If the temp is lower than it needs to be, the piece won’t fully cure and will be brittle and easy to break. Use an oven thermometer to check your oven temp. You can leave a piece in the oven for hours, without it burning, as long as the temp is correct. You can leave it in for hours and it not be fully cured if the temp was too low. I always bake for longer because it’s just better to be safe than sorry, IMO. I usually do an hour for a typical pendant/earrings.

@@clayboutique Thanks for the information. When I put the in for over 40 min they did better. I've got to find my thermometer in my appliance repair tools.

There’s no reason why you couldn’t do that 💕

Sorry, I don’t know of anywhere else that has something similar

Yaroslav molds, in Russia, but his shop is closed down.

@@clayboutique bummer, but thank you 💜

I meant I couldn’t find trans, not Premo as a whole.

Last time I looked it was limited stock!

Ummm…45 mins to an hour lol Always bake longer than what it says on the packet.

Besides, most clays state 30 mins, not 15. thebluebottletree.com/how-long-bake-polymer-clay/

Yes…it’s what I usually do… Thanks!

I just sit down and figure it out.

Wow I don’t think I could ever do that.

You’d be surprised. Everyone starts off the same way. I watched as many tutorials as I could, got all the techniques under my belt. Then it’s a matter if working out WHICH techniques work for different designs.

Can I add some sort of medium to a vermiş non-metallic to make my own metallic?

Everything is linked in the description. Thank you

@@clayboutique thank you. I didn’t see the last link for some reason. It took me to online stores. I’m hoping I can find a store front in my area, so I can just try a little bit to see if I am able to make stones, like you do.

I have no idea what stores in Texas would carry Cernit. Most people order from Blueberry Beads, as per the link.

From a shop on Etsy that is now closed.

Thank you 😊
