A good way to get a better impression of a paw print is by putting the clay on a piece of saran wrap or something similar then put it on the floor. Put one front paw in that while you lift the opposite front paw. This will put the weight of the dog on the one you are trying to print and you will get a much better print. Hope this makes sense to you.
These are all such lovely projects thanks for sharing your talent. Here is a little tip from a fellow clay worker. Put a thin piece of plastic wrap or bag over the clay before cutting it out and it will round out your edges beautifully without distorting the center design.
Great tip, thank you! Question- would it also be a good idea to put a parchment/wax paper down under it? It looks like they got distorted and stretched a little as she picked them off the glass also
Love all of them. My favorite is the little houses - I think. They're all so lovely, it's difficult to choose, but right now I have a "thing" for house shapes.
I was as excited as you lolol why didn’t I remember drying racks!! Great job!! So glad I saw this on my feed❤❤❤ I can’t wait get some clay!! I’m 73yrs old sure hope I get some done soon ❤️❤️thank you so very much for sharing your experience with us ❤️❤️❤️
Have to say this was such a fun video. Its 1030 pm and Im doing my claure time before i close my eyes. Thank you for making me smile and sweet dreams to you and yours..❤😊
It’s lovely to watch you work, and the pieces are lovely. If it were me I would just be in an excited flow playing with the material. Love when that happens
Wow. What a good idea. I love this method. They are very pretty. I used a butterfly stamp in the clay. It turned out nice. I just had to smooth the edges with a finger sander.
Love the use of the glass items. I also like to use the press cookie cutters with patterns. You can get them really cheap at local craft stores toward the end of the holiday season with plenty of time to make more ornaments. Ornaments make great gift tag presents too! Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas.
What a Superb Collection! And little George's Paw, aww, he was really excited about that!😹😻😉 I think the houses and a couple others would look good as Rectangles .. or Squares, Diamonds .. wow, the possibilities are really endless! Thank you for jolting my ole grey matter once again 😁🤩💡✔️🌟🆒
These are incredibly beautiful and the way you made some of your own tools is just plain smart. I love the deer and the house. Well, it's hard to not just love them all. So very smart. 🌲🌲🌲🌲
I LOVE how you used everyday items to press into the clay to make each one unique! So clever! I might try this with some polymer clay. I like to bake my clay. I'm not keen on painting all the little spaces, but I love the idea of painting it all, them take the paint off the raised areas! ♥️🎄⛄❄️🦌
very nice, I did this 10 years ago as part of keeping our psychiatric patients busy, colored them with Distress sprai stains, it is good to see it again, kinda reminds me to try again. thank you
So inspirational - gonna break out my DAS, stamps, etc and see what comes from it. What's cool about your circles with the stars and snowflakes is (a) the fact you put 2 on one disc and (b) you can use these for gel printing too! So much fun thank you. May you and yours have a fun Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year

awesome tip !!
This is fantastic advice thank yooooo 🤩🤩🤩
Great tip, thanks!
EXACTLY HOW I DID IT.
We have 2 cats. I think only one has enough excess weight to make an impression. (Hmph😊 she makes an impression all right!)
They are all soooo beautiful ❤

Looking amazing really 💖
No wonder you were so excited...they're all just too gorgeous. Well done
So much fun seeing what you come up with next to create a bauble. Thank you for sharing.
Great crafting video. Thank you - i am off to The Works!
I usually smooth the edges of the dried piece with fine sand paper, nail files or fine files for the small circles. It's an extra step but looks good.
Love LOVE the cut glass embossed ones. Super creative! I'm now scavenging my home for embossing tools. Yes, get lost and create! Thanks💖
I cut my DAS clay with scissors! It cuts like butter!
What a Superb Collection! And little George's Paw, aww, he was really excited about that!😹😻😉 I think the houses and a couple others would look good as Rectangles .. or Squares, Diamonds .. wow, the possibilities are really endless! Thank you for jolting my ole grey matter once again 😁🤩💡✔️🌟🆒
