    Hi, really enjoy your videos. I have used silicone to make molds. I used the 100% silicone caulking mixed with cornstarch. It kneads into a very nice smooth mixture that you can press objects into. I let mine dry about three days before using. I made some plaster/clay items from my old jewellery to use in projects. Loved it. I also make the cold porcelain clay and made a couple of fairy houses varnished really well and they are going on three years outside by my fish pond.

      Amazing, I love your creativity, I too love the silicone and cornstarch method, there’s something very therapeutic about it!
      I found a piece yesterday I made from my cold porcelain recipe and thought ‘I really should make more from this’ as it’s the most robust stuff! Happy crafting Margaret 😊❤️

    I make slugs and I usually do it with spray insulation and then cover it with tile adhesive but I thought if I could make one out of clay it's hardened. Make a mold out of plaster Paris then put silicone in that would that work? That would be a rubbery sort of slug

  • @wendyporter1093
    @wendyporter1093 2 года назад +3

    Thank you for doing this! I have wondered if you could do this with air dry clay, by using a sealed, waterproofed clay item, to put in a fresh piece of clay to make the mold ? Once the impression is in the clay, allowing it to dry, and sealing the “clay mold” with several coats of varnish, could you then use it as a mold with fresh clay? So, instead of silicone, both pieces woukd essentially be clay-the hardened sealed clay mold, abd tbe fresh clay to make the molded piece? Do you think it would work, or do you think the inflexibility of the clay mold would make it impossible?

    • @RedRockingBird
      @RedRockingBird  2 года назад +5

      Thanks. I have tried this kind of thing while imprinting the clay, for s dimple shape yes it can work. What is good about silicone is that the flex helps you get the clay out of the mold easier.
