If anyone is looking to do this, make it with polymer clay instead of air dry clay, it'll be more durable and waterproof, it also won't buckle or bowe like the one in the video. Air dry shrinks when drying, polymerclay hardens in the oven. You also can seal it with a two part resin to make the surface waterproof and more durable, just make the wells a bit deeper since resin is thick.
Hi! Totally agree that polymer clay is an option, you aren't wrong. I'm happy with my air dry clay palettes; they are still going strong. I will say that if anyone wants to use resin please do your research, it is a dangerous and toxic material to use, so lots of ventilation, a ventilator, goggles and gloves are needed.
Polymer would probably be rather unpleasant to work with when painting because by its nature, it’s water resistant which means watercolours just bead up on the surface.
Thank you for this idea, defiantly going to end up with lots of really funky shaped pallets now :) I've only just found your channel and really enjoy your videos
I don't know why ALL air dry clay companies make the packaging so that you can't really close it again. It bothers me! What I did with my Raven palette is once the top was mostly touch dry, I flipped it over to let the other side dry. Might help with warping? It's currently summer in Australia and 35 to 40 degrees during the day and that definitely speeds things up. I was looking for that triple thick stuff but no joy. was sold out everywhere! It's so satisfying when you can create something useful that you'd use most days. That painting is just adorable and love all your other clay makes too!
Actually the Das one had a way to close it and I cut the wrong end! I must have sped through that part of the video when editing XD I did flip it when the top was dry, I wonder if it was the paper i had it on, as the ones drying on a chopping board did better, but they were smaller. Sorry the glaze is out of stock :( Must be something similar out there! Thanks for watching :) xxx
Sorry for butting in! hehe I agree with the non-resealable packaging. I just use a ziplock bag with most air pushed out of it. Also, since you're in Australia, I discovered a product called Bondall Pot & Ornament Sealer for porous stuff like terracotta pots and ornaments. It helps make them water resistant as long as they are not submerged in water. It also helps increase surface hardness, reduces staining, algal and fungal growth. You can find them at Bunnings at the terracotta pots section. Haven't tried them on palettes but will have to give it a go soon since Melbourne is cool next week! No, not a paid promotion. lol! I also used DecoArt's Duraclear Ultra Gloss Glaze but I haven't tried them on palettes as I don't paint but I will have to give it a whirl!
I literally just happened upon your video and I am so happy I stayed. For what it is worth you found a new subscriber and I look forward to what you have in store. Cheers.
Oh they all turned out lovely! I have some clay I've not done anything with yet. I could do with a pot or a stand for my paper blending stumps to stop them rolling off the table all the time.
Lovely video! Makes me want to give it a go. Also was cool to hear you mention the model making at uni as I also did a Film and TV Design course. God bless the leatherman!
What an amazing video! I started doing ceramics a few years ago and I find it extremely entertaining and relaxing. You should get more subscribers your video filming is incredible and the edit too! All my best wishes 🤗❤️🌻
As always, I only remember to comment 274638 days later, lol. What a lovely video, super different and something I would never think myself. Keep them coming, you're doing great 🥰💛
Awh thanks so much! So pleased you liked it, it was really fun to do! I always forget to comment on videos, usually because I'm weirdly logged out or it's on auto play so I understand! xxx
Aw that's so cute! I want to do it now! I did want to before but I got lazy haha Also lost all my clay so there was that! Good job Rozie! Love the painting you did too!
These are so cute ! Thanks for the tutorial, was wondering if air dry clay would work for making palettes 🎨 also I love the tiny painting you made of yourself
Hello! I really love your video! I wanna try this soon!!!!! Actually, i am hesitated on trying air dry clay on making pallete. Thanks for uploading this! Love from Philippines! ❤️
I love it, they all look great! I think my favourites were the square pallet and the apple🍎⬜ I can't wait till I have some spare time, then I'd love to make one for myself!🧡 (Ps I also struggle to open my watercolours, the Winsor Newton clasp is way too strong😂)
I like the square palette a lot too i think simple is sometimes best in this case :D If you make one do share, I would love to see! Yes the watercolours are a struggle, I usually get help XD Thanks!! xxx
Not sure if these questions have been answered but how do you clean your palettes and is it better to only use them for mixing rather than holding watercolour paint? Is the glaze likely to degrade over time? Thanks 😊
Hey so best to clean them just after using them, if you let acrylic set for too long it isn't easy to get off. I have found wiping them down with a wet cloth cleans off most the paint, then you can run it under a tap for the rest. I haven't tried using them for water fully actually, I have a lot of little ceramic pots from etsy sellers I use for that. It might work but not sure!
Hi! I paint my clay before glazing it, I would use aN acrylic, I used acryla gouache purely because I like the colours but it's not the most cost effective haha. XXXX
Hi Yes! I have used a good few of the palettes now, depending on the colours I have found a little bit of staining but i'm ok with it, it adds character XD if you mesg me on insta @pinandinko i can send you pics :) xx
So sorry for not getting back to you, yes that should work fine :) Lots of people cover clay things in resin to seal them. Make sure the area is well ventilated :)
Hello! Love your cute little palettes! I just started watercolour, and I’m wondering if the surface would be ok for that? You know how plastic palettes do that spotty, spacey, beady... thing with watery paint? Does it do that? Sorry 😅
I have a question, is gloss glaze for ceramics the same as the ones you might use on a canvas? I bought a gloss glaze from a woman who doesn’t speak English very well so idk if she understood that I wanted glaze for ceramics, but I’m wondering if they are the same thing?
Hey! What does it say on the tub? I used a waterbased glaze for this, the only brand I can find so far that gives the best finish. I don't know about glazes for canvases sorry.
@@pinandinko1970 it just says “water based gloss varnish” but after looking it up with the brand I found out it’s for canvases only, but thank you for replying
Hi! Thanks so much for watching. Tbh if you are making a big flat item then it might bow a little depending on how thin the clay is, you can keep turning it as it dries to stop it from bowing in one spot but this is the joy of working with air drying clay! A small flat item shouldn't bow if you leave it to dry on a flat surface and then flip it when one side is dried.
@@pinandinko1970 thanks for the tips! 🌸 I really want to try this :) Oh, I just noticed that this video is from months ago. I was wondering how you got on with the palette: Does the watercolor stain it? Or is it just like ceramics in that it doesn’t stain? And just your overall thoughts
@@Discofoxx1 hey it doesn't stain it much no, darker colours do a bit but I am using acrylic so that is worse haha, I am also terrible at remembering to clean them too. The ones with sharp lines/edges for sure stain but I expected this as it's hard to clean in those areas. I have accidentally picked off the glaze once or twice when trying to clean off old paint but I just reglaze it. simples. haha
hi! worth testing it out! It depends on if it's waterproof but I couldn't tell you if it works with paint and such without testing :) It's possibly though! xx
How did you palette hold up after all this time? If you have an update video, can you please respond with a link? Thanks in advance. Very cute palette and other creations, by the way. =)
I'm sorry this is such a late reply, but they hold up fine, I have just been rubbish at keeping them clean hehe. No video update I'm afraid, I have been very busy lately at work. :) Thanks for your nice comments
Bright lighting and moisturiser haha, I actually usually have very dry skin, it's like a sponge, I sometimes have to use sun cream as a moisturiser so it lasts XD

I did not see the kiln part. Do you not need heat to burn the glaze?
What acrylic paints do you use please
I tried making my own palette and it’s so ugly! Glad I found this vid.. gonna give it another go now!
Could you gouache paint?
here before she gets famous
This video is everything i was looking for but can we WASH this clay color palette WITH WATER 💦
I don't submerge it but a wet cloth or sponge works fine! I haven't testing submerging it haha!
How are your palettes holding up? Are they still going strong?
Just fine though I did let some acrylic fully dry on them and it's hard to remove to always wash them after use XD
Hi, thanks for your cute projects! Can you tell me if you painted your clay before or after the glazing, please? Big hug!
