@@joyceparkes7551 I used to have a tutorial on Sculpey but it disappeared of how to set a cabochon that’s hollow, like the one in this tutorial into a framed bezel , but somewhere over the years it disappeared so I guess at some point I will remake a video form
I hope your channel and your creations BLOW all the way up. Even though your techniques seem way out of my beginner reach. I learn so much from your tutorials every time I watch them. Thank you very much.
I just keep trying new things and not just once try them till you get them mastered. I think I’ve spent more time learning and trying and experiments then actually making finished items but that’s where my joy is.
I am so happy to find you on youtube. You have been one of my favorite polymer clay artists since i saw your mettalic cernit earrings and pendants!! I am so happy. Thank you for sharing with us.
If you don’t have that tutorial, you can purchase it at creativealong.com. Just go to learning tab and look for workshops and you will find my three available workshops and video format along with links to all my free tool videos.
Thank you, I have always HATED working with opal clay after a couple of initial tries when it first came out, and have several packs that I might now actually try using again after seeing your "layer cake" technique!! Question for you, since i haven't touched opal clay for years...how would putting the opal-translucent layers on metal leaf or iridescent powder on clay work vs white clay for reflectivity? Have you tried it? Signed, I hate opal clay...
Metal leaf will act just like using a dark colored clay it will absorb the light and reflect back through the opal, changing the color to a darker tone, making it brighter and whiter. If you use translucent clay with white light reflects off the white and the whiteness and brightness back through visually if you use a darker color like gold or black the darkness of those colors reflect back and look like it’s a bleeding into the surrounding translucent. If you’ve ever seen somebody make a translucent flower canes and wrapped it with a color and then packed it with translucent when they take their slices and apply them on a background translucent shows as a dark tinted colored shadow,
And if you apply your gold leaf flat so that it’s shiny as opposed to crumbled through the clay you may get some reflective quality, but it’s still going to tinge the color to yellow brown color
I'm hispanic and I understood perfectly your tutorial. Thank you for your excelent explanation and tips.
