guys if you want a secret alternative to silver leaf. If you buy a pack of gum with the sticks wrapped in a foil lined wrapper. You can actually very carefully peel the very very thin foil from the wax paper of the wrapper this foil is so thing that I use to "silver plate" stuff like my pencil and binder when I was at school. It would definitely work better than aluminum kitchen foil. Plus, you'll be super minty!
Love the colors! If you want your translucent Fimo to come out more translucent, when you bake it keep a bowl of water with ice cubes handy. Remove the clay piece from the oven and place it in the ice water. You'll see a big difference! I use the method for faux crystal stones and also cameos. Another way to highlight the edges of crystals is to varnish with a glossy glaze, then run a nail file very lightly on each edge, it looks very natural.
The amethyst crystal sculpture looks so realistic,and crystals can be very expensive to buy,rose quarts would look lovely too, done this way or other crystals,looks very beautiful.
as an artist, this is infuriating. Not because there is anything wrong with it, but becayse its TOO DAMN PERFECT THIS IS SO AMAZING YOU HAVE SO MUCH TALENT AGHHHH
I tried this today with lighter pinks and a faint blue ink, it looked like Rose Quartz!! (Ps I used Copic marker various ink, it worked very well) Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am in love with how it turned out!
Thank you so much for this video. Polymer clay is so much fun, real life took over some time ago and I had to leave crafting/jewellery making for a bit, now I realize that I miss it so much :) Your video made me go to the shop and buy just a pack of clay, I really want to do something pretty with it. And also you are very funny :) Thank you for your work!
What a wonderful tutorial video! You did a great job showing the techniques, supplies and talking the audience through the process. Keep up the great work! I subscribed and I'm looking forward trying this technique out in the near future. Thanks for sharing!!! :)
+Stephanie K. PetitPlat Well, yeah! But the best thing to do is just to ignore them :) Well, for me all of your sculptures are amazing, so, there is nothing to thank :) Thank yourself that you have such a great talent! ^^
Quel travail !!!! Chapeau bas (et même très très bas) ! Mais ton talent n'est plus à prouver. On sait tous que chaque nouvelle création ou vidéo sera un petit moment de perfection !
You're a good artist, but, the color gradient shift in the "amethyst" is very sharp. The hues and shades in Natural Amethyst crystals generally look like tufts of purple surrounded by clear Quartz. Although more saturated stones will look to be a dark purple with spots of Secondary hues (blue and red).
I didn't want to really replicate an amethyst :) I just wanted to make a purple crystal shape. I sculpt these for artworks I make and so I just go for the colors I want.
I NEVER KNEW THIS KIND OF CRAFT EXISTED! So much fun in these clays! Amazing vid! Well maybe I'm biased cos they look so much like lovely Starcraft II crystals... Love it...
About the "organic mineral", since so many think they know everything better. Although, I used that word in a non scientific way and more an artistic one, Organic is not necessarily biogenic (made from life processes). And yes some minerals are organic, if bound to a carbon atom and bioavailable (magnesium, zinc, etc.) www.eidon.com/understanding-minerals-organic-vs-inorganic/ www.healthylife.net.au/healthy-you/wellbeing-lifestyle/organic-and-inorganic-minerals-what-s-the-difference/ Also kinda related ruclips.net/video/QOCaacO8wus/видео.html
Lovely, though ... minerals are not organic. Organic implies it came from a living organism! I think the word you might be looking for would be 'natural.' :3
For something to be considered 'organic' in Chemistry, it must contain Carbon. Most minerals (that aren't elemental, for example, Sulfur) contain Carbon. But you are right in that something from a living organism is organic (because it contains Carbon). It would just be the more Biology-related use of the word. Don't forget to thank your local Carbon atoms for making up nearly everything in the universe. ~ciao
This isn't chemistry. Organic, in this context, refers to something looking natural, as opposed to artificial or designed. For example, curves, variability, and irregular textures or patterns are traits that might make something look organic. This is not some weird term she's using. It is a common way to refer to a broad aesthetic in English. Cute faces don't hide the smart-ass nature of your comment.
Who was this to? I was just replying to the "minerals are not organic" bit, so if I came off as harsh I didn't mean to. (But yes when used in a way to describe something naturally shaped, organic would be the right word).
***** My comment was primarily to the OP, but additionally to all like-minded persons. Now, if only you could have read my comment and thought about it prior to replying, we wouldn't be wasting space with these worthless repetitions.
This is the first time I have watched you and I fast forwarded to the part where you were talking about blades and It sounded so much like you self harmed
yeah, but no. I'm truly sorry many have been triggered by this, but it never crossed my mind when making the video. I cut myself by accident, which is not fun, but that's about it.
I love your commentary! It's very soothing, descriptive and you have a good sense of humour. So much more interesting than just music (in all honestly, I usually skip through tutorials/speedpaint videos with just music). :P
Stephanie K. PetitPlat I understand the necessity of voiceover-less content, especially for content creators who make a lot of content too :) I just enjoy hearing about the process (it's really engaging!) and also think that the creator's personality comes through a lot more with a voice to associate with the video.
put clay in the freezer once you've got your cube all blended if you want it to look sharper once you cut them, really nice idea some of my relatives are going to find that under the tree this year (: (aluminium works also for colour anything works)
Thank you, you are very talented! It was exactly what I was looking for for a project that helped me a lot!Your voice is great and your speech is easy to understand. Keep up the great work.
Stephanie, I’ve never seen this technique before, very cool! You have a very soothing voice and it’s always nice to watch your videos!😃 I’m new to polymer clay and learning quite a bit from your tutorials, thank you 😃

great additional tips, thanks
Jigoku Shoujo I'm going to try those tips!
That is some great tips! I didn't quite like the acrylic paint method so I think I'll give the gloss and file tip a try :D
gonna try that, thanks
Interesting. But doesn't the shock from hot to cold warp or weaken the clay?
Gorgeous work! It is generous of you to share your wonderful techniques with us. Merci beaucoup!
you're welcome :D
Fantastic. It's nice when people talk while they're doing a demo, so chatter as much as you like. 😊😊😊
glad you like it that way :)
I love your "rambling." I could listen to you all day!!
Your voice is beautiful, I often find myself falling asleep to your videos. Not because they are boring, but because they are so soothing. Thank you!
The amethyst crystal sculpture looks so realistic,and crystals can be very expensive to buy,rose quarts would look lovely too, done this way or other crystals,looks very beautiful.
Probably one of the best crystal tutorials ever!
I think all artist have experienced ink explosions at least once 😅 this crystals look beautiful!! The silver leaf was such a genius idea!!!
haha, I guess art disasters always happen :D good thing I like blue! :D
My worst experience was super glue explosions haha!
+Non-chan's Créations wow! Yeah! That sounds terrible!
+Libelles Craftales ya I ruined my favourite pair of jeans at the time haha
+Non-chan's Créations yikes !
Rambling with your beautiful accent is okay with me. I could listen to your voice all day

"Perfect is overrated"
your voice and accent is so soothing it really just relaxes me
I like to hear you.. as if listening some story before going to bed.. :) and the crystal came out really pretty..
glad you do :) and thanks!
Absolutely stunning, the silver leaf adds a nice touch!
Wow! So cool this is amazing! I would never have thought this possible with polymer clay!
thank you ^^ polymer clay is a wondrous material!
as an artist, this is infuriating. Not because there is anything wrong with it, but becayse its TOO DAMN PERFECT THIS IS SO AMAZING YOU HAVE SO MUCH TALENT AGHHHH
^^
You are truly talented
I loved the way you narrated all along ❤️
WOAH DUDE!!! SO PRETTY!!!
:D
These are so lovely and organic looking. Perfect for a fairy garden or to make a cast for a mold for resin!
glad you like them!
"perfection is over rated anyways" :D
I love your rambling, it's entertaining while watching you work.
Perfection really is over-rated, that's why I do everything as shit as possible.
Bryan Alvarez Medina Dude, your "English" is pathetic!
Why is this so funny to me
I love you mate
I like the way they take on the shape of quartz. the colours really do look good together.
You can bake silver leaf? Thank you so much for showing us how to do this! So beautiful :)
yes u can :)
I tried this today with lighter pinks and a faint blue ink, it looked like Rose Quartz!! (Ps I used Copic marker various ink, it worked very well)

What a wonderful tutorial video! You did a great job showing the techniques, supplies and talking the audience through the process. Keep up the great work! I subscribed and I'm looking forward trying this technique out in the near future. Thanks for sharing!!! :)
One dislike already? :/ People are weird! The crystals are pretty! :3

Hehe, it's not just talent, it's also a lot of practice and work :)
+Stephanie K. PetitPlat yeah but I mean you had a great talent base, and you made it even better with practice! :)
You are too funny! I love your sense of humor! I look forward to more videos!

Very wonderful tutorial, thank you! The silver leaf was a nice touch.
So this is what homeworld thinks of fusion
Advanced Penguin I was waiting for this comment😂
Indeed XD

Advanced Penguin
Sadly yes. I hate it very much. So does everyone else
this was soooo calming to watch
I love the way you talk. I think you're funny ;)
thank you so much! ^^
I NEVER KNEW THIS KIND OF CRAFT EXISTED!
So much fun in these clays!
Amazing vid!

instant subscribe holy MOLY
Wow
This Is What You Call Talent

+Jayne Traeger-Bliss you're welcome 😊
i adore your accent
Wow that was beautiful and relaxing to watch. You made it look simple which makes me want to give it a try.
+jesysgrl it's really simple, so go for it!
waouh ! C’est magnifique! Bravo ! Tu es très douée ! Bon je crois que je n’ai pas d’autre issue ... je m’abonne!!! 😂😉☺💖
😂
Little_Flavie
a few months back i also did a polymer crystal video using another technique, i never thought of doing it this way. It came out awesome!
thank you!
no problem!
the color changed because you baked it or because you add some kind of product?
i think its just because she used translucent clay but i could be wrong
The clay becomes translucent when baked - aka see-through, so the ink, instead of being mixed with white, is then left suspended in clear clay.
love the style, detail shapes and colour!
you created a very small piece of exodar, google exodar to see it, its a big underground city made from cristals :D
never seen that done before with clay, love it. I can see using it in a film project for miniatures
Wow
such beautiful pastel colors to baking!
thanks ^^
"We are the crystal gems"
Michael Mendias YES
Very useful and interesting video. Outstanding work
thank you so much!
Im liking the puns..
What?
I love your "rambling"!
:D
You have 60k subs lol have some self confidence, you have a good voice, feel free to talk as much as youd like
This video is a bit older and at that time I was at 25K ^^
But yes, I do whatever I want on my channel now :D
Nyx Reaper do like Maddy in action channel
Absolutely beautiful, thank you for showing us your techniques!
I fell asleep to this
I love it! I saw some gorgeous tiaras made from raw crystals, but this will be a great alternative!
I'd have been giving up by the beginning... ._.
These crystals could make some really beautiful props for a stopmotion-animated fantasy series.
Minerals are inorganic
Camryn White really? I always thought since they form in the earth it was organic. Well the more you know lol

You give better terrain tips because you really stretch what is possible with the material. Thank you for your videos.
I think she added too much "white edges"
This is seriously so beautiful. You did a phenomenal job.
thank you!

So pretty! Your voice is so soothing, reminds me of a friend's voice I made abroad!
I find your voice very soothing!
Also u thought your crystals was really pretty!
*i
I like the rambling. Thank You.
Great tutorial! Thanks for taking the time to make it.
you're welcome!
I love this! You're very informative and funny, and the video is both teacherly and calming. the crystals look so good!
