Liquid Polymer Clay is generally known to be used as an adhesive to bond pieces of clay together and it's often used as a way to help condition and soften crumbly clay because liquid clay contains plasticizer. And if you watched my previous video on polymer clay safety, you learn that plasticizer is what holds the clay together, softens it and makes it pliable.
You can use liquid clay to make image transfers, as a sealer for many different media such as foils, leafing, transfers and beads, laminating paper, as a glaze or grout in projects. You can use it one it's own or combine it with solid clay, or in conjunction with other media. For example you can coat regular clay with liquid clay and apply iridescent flakes to create a faux opal effect.
You can think of liquid clay as an art form in its own right to create faux effects, layers of textures and patterns. Some examples include: Making charms, pendants, hair clips, bracelets, mosaics, butterfly wings, book covers, beads, flexible patterned sheets to fit into bezels, decorative tiles wether big or small, mirror & window clings, and other various shapes by pouring them into mold to create jewelry and pieces for home decor.
Other special effects can be created by mixing liquid clay with the following: mica powders, microbeads, sand, glitter, sequins, tinsel, metal flakes, dried flowers, spices, fibers, small metal objects, and much more. In terms of ratio, a good rule of thumb is do 3 parts liquid clay and 1 part custom medium for your special effects. If there's too much custom medium, it may change how the clay behaves once cured so you don't want to go overboard.
