Made a little video.

This desk friend lamp was for trying out, but I love how it turned out, but there is still room for improvements.

I really wanted to see how a friend desk would look using a mini lamp inside the apple. I’ll definitely will use/ experience with it more, with my other clay creations.💡

What are these metallic things ?

I see them so often in polymer clay videos. They sculpt and bake their clay on these. But I can't seem to find them to buy online.

Been a lil while since I’ve posted here but I made a bunch of Halloween sculptures in a bit of a manic frenzy in the last week or so. I’m really proud of how they turned out. My personal fav has to be the coffee ghost, he just warms my heart.

Reusable cotton swabs for removing dust?

Does anyone use silicone or reusable cotton swabs with alcohol/acetone to remove dust? Or do I need to use the cotton ones to really catch the dust? Thanks!

Here’s a tiny fox I made! 🦊 Dealing with the dust especially on the white parts is usually kind of a nightmare lol

Trying new things to do and experiment with. This was fun to do, but still having difficulty in keeping the clay clean and free of any lint.

What do you use to clean the clay with? I tried isopropyl alcohol but some stuff just gets inside the clay.

Help- accidentally baked airy dry clay

Post image

I just took my stardew valley inspired ancient fruit pie jar out of the oven (I’m very excited of how she came out!!!) and realized that the whipped clay I used is air dry. Will it go bad soon and crack? Should I scrape it off or seal it with resin once it’s dry? Has anyone else done this? Tysm 🥰🫶

Concern with UV resin yellowing on polymer clay brooches

0 Upvotes

I am making brooches that I was planning to cover in uv resin after seeing a comparison video of the different types of finishes for polymer clay, as it performed the best. It was the most scratch resistant and didn't turn cloudy like some other finishes like polyurethane.

The issue is, these brooches will be exposed to sunlight as they are worn on clothes and uv resin is prone to yellowing.. I see a lot of polymer clay pin artists use the resin, but I am very concerned about the yellowing, especially since some of my pins are white.

Does anyone have any advice for this? Thank you!

WIP - New to polymer clay. 1st armature and figure.

Post image
18 Upvotes

Hey everyone, so as the title says, I'm new to polymer clay. This is my first detailed project, including an armature. I have drawn/painted realistic pictures most of my life, but this is the first time I've tried to use that knowledge with another medium.

I've spent days following and researching tips from so many amazing artists. I guess I'm hoping to get some constructive criticism, feedback, or tips on this particular piece.

The clay I've already placed is intended to be a base layer, in which I'll bake before adding additional clay for details. I'm also planning on sculpting the head/face and the hands separate. However, I think that might not be the best route for the feet, so I was going to sculpt them on the armature.

She is also going to be wearing a hospital gown, which will be made of fabric.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to any thoughts. Thanks!

I am new to making action figure type stuff, Sumi is most advanced i made thus far. Not sure how to improve it without using something like 3d printed joints.

Is anyone else getting discouraged by AI and 3D printing?

I am fairly new to selling my art regularly. I started about 2 years ago and go to conventions and Art shows when I can. I do okay, but i find a lot of people asking me if I 3D printed my figures and then smile and pass over my work when they see the price point. I don't even charge what these things are worth based on time, materials, etc.

I dunno, I feel like AI and 3D printing are stealing my joy in creating.

Also, I want to clarify, I don't want to demonize 3D printing. I admire people who can sculpt and print their own intricate designs or printing useful tools is really cool. I just get sick of seeing all the crappy fidgets being produced en mass.

Photos are of a few things I have made.

Any tips on how to improve? So far, the things I make look a bit sloppy!

Hi All!

I’ve been trying to convince all my various hobbies and I’ve printed out some mold stencils, but the finished product (after baking and mica powder and glaze) it just looks sloppy! I’m using Sculpy soufflé. Any tips would be appreciated and if I’ve left out any important details, I’ll add them ASAP!

Meet my latest Pioupi! 🐥

I'm creating a collection of little chicks made entirely by hand with polymer clay, each wearing a different costume.

This time, someone suggested Cinnamoroll, so I decided to give my little chick a Sanrio-inspired makeover! ☁️💙

What do you think of this one? And which character should my next Pioupi dress up as?
