Hi Debbie. A little behind as only watched this tutorial this morning and Had to give it a go 😜. So easy, used a texture stamp instead of the lace as don't have any. Great toot. Hope you are keeping well.
oh yes, texture stamps work perfectly too or simply create your own texture. So glad you enjoyed the tutorial and yes, keeping really well. Hope you are too xx
Thank you!!! I have a gorgeous box of chalks I've really never used cuz I don't know what to do with them, lol. I watched this video just to see what you were doing with them! Thank you so much!
You have won a new subscriber Debbie! What a beautiful technique, I will be using this a lot ... mainly because I needed oil pastels for a painting project but bought soft ones by mistake! I'm finding so many fascinating ways to use it - blow the painting project, I'm going back to my clay :) Thank you, excellent tutorial, super photography, wonderful voice!
Hey Susan, what a gorgeous comment to receive first thing this morning. I'm so very glad you like this one and yes, lots of different ways you can use chalk pastels with polymer clay. Hope you have a beautifully creative day. xx
Great Tutorial Debbie. Loved it! Please keep making tutorials. Nice to see you here as well as fb. You have a lovely voice and you have a lovely manner for teaching.
Its the truth Debbie and you're welcome. Where I live this is the only way I can get jewellery lessons and now p/clay lessons. All my jewellery skills are from learning online. So please keep up your youtube tutorials.
Thank you for sharing your technique Debbie, it's lovely. I think it will look great on the beads in your Affirmation Totems tutorial in CraftArtEdu too!
Try using a cosmetic foam wedge instead of your finger. You'll find you have more control. This technique works well with mica powders as well. The effect resembles damask.
Thanks Katherine, great comment. I don't mind using my fingers...kinda like getting dirty :) I have mentioned in the video that you can use whatever works for you, cosmetic foam wedge is definately a good idea though. Thanks again.
Stunning! I found you via Pinterest and subscribed right away. I've not used chalks with clay and can't wait to try. You're getting almost a mica-shift look, it's so dimensional! Question: how do you use those beautiful beads? Thanks for a great tutorial.
Hi Dreaming Cat, I'm so sorry for the delay in replying to you. I love using chalks with polymer clay and I'm sure by now you've probably used them too. I haven't actually done anything with these pieces but sold them just like this. Not sure what the purchaser has done with them either :) Thanks for your lovely comment by the way
Hello. After baking the polymer clay pieces with pastel chalks on. What do you use to sealer? Is it possible to sand a piece of polymer clay on which you have used pastels? Thanks for sharing your knowledge 😉
Hey Marita, there are a few options for sealing chalk pastels - I like to use PearlEx Varnish, Cernit Transparent Varnish Mat and kato liquid clay - just depending on what sort of shine/finish I'm looking for. It's possible to sand polymer with chalk pastels on it but not to create a shine - it's more to create a distressed effect - hopefully that makes sense. If I wanted to sand and buff a piece then any surface treatment would sand off the surface. and you are more than welcome! ♥
aha Nicole, I'll share my secret with you....it's actually from a picture frame. Alot of the cheapie ones have perspex instead of glass so I've got quite a few of these ones.
Hi Angel, I'm so sorry for the delay in replying to you. You know you could absolutely try the derwent ink scrapings and see what happens - you never know how it might end up. Huge thanks for your lovely comment Angel. x
What a great technique, I love when i see techniques that use items i can use from my past crafty addictions, thanks
oh thanks Kim, what a great comment. I have to agree I love to incorporate all sorts of products I have on hand. Have a great day xx

Beautiful. Thank u so much!!!
you are more than welcome. x
Thanks for sharing this tutorial Debbie, can't wait to give it a go! Where did you find that Perspex plate? mine are so small😊
aha Nicole, I'll share my secret with you....it's actually from a picture frame. Alot of the cheapie ones have perspex instead of glass so I've got quite a few of these ones.
could a person replace the chalk pastels with derwent ink scrapings , I really enjoy learning from your tutorials..
Hi Angel, I'm so sorry for the delay in replying to you. You know you could absolutely try the derwent ink scrapings and see what happens - you never know how it might end up. Huge thanks for your lovely comment Angel. x
Can i use soft pastel instead of chalk pastel?
I would assume they would work the same. If you have some it would be easy enough to give them a try. Good luck :)
Do you know how thick is a #2, 3 and 4 is. I do not have a pasta machine thank you
oh gosh Valerie, I'm so sorry for not replying earlier. On my machine #2 is roughly 3mm, #3 is roughly 2mm and #4 roughly 1mm give or take a bit :)
