Thanks, I prefer to use Varnish over UV resin when I can

Hi Karen, wow thats something I've never tried. I do have an idea inspired from a tutorial I have seen involving flowers. Would you like me to try and do it and you can see if it would be suitable for your precious tribute . It involves using resin too. If you're on Facebook maybe we could discuss it further there?

@@theclaysanctuary3464 I would so so love that. She was only 42 and just recently passed away. I am looking to do something special and I know you’re just the lady to do it!!! I am on Facebook. How should I reach out to you on there? 💕💕

I'm so sorry to hear that. I'll go look for your name in clay groups and send you a dm via messenger.

Could you let me know a clay group your on so I can find you please? Not having much luck

@@theclaysanctuary3464 I’m not in any clay groups on Facebook I watch all your RU-vid videos.

Thanks ah no, ring was a gift bought in Santorini. 🙂

When blending inks with some translucent clay the colour darkens in the curing process.

Thank you I didn't know it 😉

Thanks on raw ... alcohol on baked... acetone

@@theclaysanctuary3464 Thanks!

Thank you, Doreens beads

It's a white translucent... cernit

to be honest I haven't tried it, so Im unsure

@@clayboutique you use soo much more ink if you use paper. The tile is just keeping it moist so you can use all of the ink. The tile is just to wipe of after. You could have used 80% less ink

@@clayboutique nah I really dont belive you on that you use the same amount ink. You would have wasted soooo much ink. And if the tile get stained the tile isnt smooth. I do this all the time and have never got a stain on the tile plus i just need to use a tiny squirt of ink

@@MarikaIomaLantz No one really cares what you believe. She told you why she does what she does. The same amount of ink covers the clay. It is not being mixed into the clay, just covering it. IF it was being mixed in then yes, using a non-absorbent surface like a tile or plastic sheet would be beneficial. Sprinkling the ink around just to cover the clay will still result in the same amount of wastage. Stop telling people how to do their own work. Even if she's wasting ink, that's on her. It doesn't affect you in the slightest.

@@renlish no I just telling people hwo sees this a better way to do it bc the ink in the tile still being wet and can be used to ink places ON the clay that didnt got ink in the "squirt" from the bottle. Mabe its just me hwo not want to waste money/ink/stuff but i hope we are many that dont want to waste. You do as you want this is just tips to people. Dont get mad for getting savingtips

@@clayboutique didnt tell people other than tip! Someone woke up on the wrong side today I think 😉

Thanks for the positives in your message. These are the same earrings, my camera does a duller video is all and doesn't show true colour. I mention it often in tutorials but assume you haven't watched them. I'll ignore the incorrect assumption and I hope for future videos you look before you leap 😉

@@theclaysanctuary3464 oh, my apologies. I do watch with the captions on and the sound off, so it's very possible that I might've missed it. However, you showed both earrings in your video, and you showed how to make the lighter one, instead of the one with more blue. You did show the one with more blue closer to the end of the video though, I was just hoping to see how you made it that colour. So, I wasn't saying the dark blue one in the video thumbnail is different than the dark blue one you showed already completed in your video, but I was saying you didn't show us how to make the piece in dark blue, because the one you showed us how to make was fairly white. Sorry for the confusion. I do appreciate that you showed us how to make a very similar one to the one in the video thumbnail, just in a different colour. Some channels will have things in their video thumbnail that are totally different than what they are showing in the video. That's the most frustrating thing to me. They both turned out beautiful though. Maybe you have already made a video on how to do the ones with more colour? I will go check, because I'd like to see that. I do appreciate the time and effort you put into making these videos, and showing us your work. 😁👍

They are the same earrings in the video thumbnail and the tutorial. The ones she makes in the tutorial video look a lot lighter with more white because that’s how translucent clay and alcohol ink look before baking. Once baked the colors and clay go much darker and deeper in color. She’s not being misleading at all, you have just misunderstood how the clay works and reacts during the before and after baking.
