Brilliant idea to let the letters dry in the mould and then remove them!! I am so inspired by everything you do, thank you for sharing your beautiful creations.
YOU are bee-yond BRILLIANT Lynne (with an E). I love the tip about the Harper Mould. I love your tutorials, I love your music, I love your quirky, fun, happy attitude and style. And that cottage...omg, I watch that video almost every day. I hope that doesn’t hurt your RU-vid analytics cuz I only give you ONE thumbs up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️
I've always loved the Harper mould set, but found myself avoiding reaching for it because the letters were so challenging to get out without breaking or at least totally mis-shaping them. Needless to say I am so beyond grateful for your pro tip to leave them in the mould while they dry. Total game changer!! Funny too, how it seems so simple to figure out in hindsight...yet there I sat, stumped for months! I love to use bees in my decor and projects, but there is no way I want to be within a mile of a single one, much less it's hive! That was pretty brave, girl! And I don't care what Hanz says, they were definitely attracted to that adorable shirt! I know I am...🤣
I love these! Bees make me a bit nervous too, even though I think they are adorable (the nice ones). I guess I should’ve looked at the date when I made the comment “I Can’t Wait” for this video! 🤦🏻♀️🤣 Thank you for letting my simple mind know that it was already posted… 6 months ago! Haha 🤷🏻♀️ Now I can’t wait to try this method out! 🐝🐝🐝
This is the 2nd video of yours that I've watched...yes.....I subscribed after the first one....And I LOVE this one because in addition to being a crafter and maker, I am also a 2nd year bee keeper! I adore honey bees 😍😍 and birds, and dragonflies and butterflies.....well.you get the picture! I totally enjoy your personality and look.forward to watching more videos.
Love the plaques... I need to make some ! Also thanks for tip on waiting for the letters to dry before removing. Definitely going to try that next time
What a fun video! In all aspects from idea to production of the final cut! You all have hit a new level of video production to match your artistic talent!
I love these!! I've got several wooden plaques, and I knew I wsnted to put clay on them.....,I've been putting the laurel wreath, a bee, and a crown.....and those have been really hot selkers....and I've used crockery stamps, Parisian stamps.....but my customers are asking for more, so thank you for sharing your creativity!
So glad he explained how very very important honey bees are. If they disappear? The human race and animal kingdom are only a couple years behind them. Save the bees. Save the pollinators. Tell Hanz thank you, from a bee saver friend💖
most people that I haver seen do these use DIY dark and decrepit or weathered wood to age.. is there a reason you used fusions glaze instead.. I need to get something and just trying to figure out which would be my best bet as they all seem to do the same thing
I like the Fusion glaze for my projects because it’s not as dark as the dark and decrepit ( which I love to use as a stain) . It a bit more subtle. Thanks so much for watching! 💓
Can anyone tell me how do you keep the air dry clay from cracking and falling apart months after it's dried? I always let mine dry slow and naturally. Every piece I've made looks so good then after about six months it cracks and begins to fall apart. Do they make any type of sealant to prevent this from happening? Every time I ask, I get the same answer to let it dry naturally, and slow. I always do and it still happens.
Hi there. I’m not sure what brand of clay you are using, but any air dry clay will shrink a bit and it may naturally develops cracks when it dries. That’s part of the character of this medium. I use IOD Air Dry Clay exclusively. Once it’s hardened and painted, it is extremely strong and durable. I’ve never had an issue with it developing cracks AFTER it has completely cured. I use Fusion mineral paint over mine. Or Debis DIY paint. If I want a perfect Mould, I use resin. Hope this helps!
The killer bees are real, several nest have been found here in Washington. Fish and Wildlife are destroying the nest when they track them down. Very scary creatures, not at all like the cute bees that make honey.
