Sculpey Original is a polymer clay. Sculpey actually does a range of different firmness clays, Original is the softest which is great for someone who maybe has mobility issues such as arthritis) but it doesn't hold fine details as well as firmer clay. Their medium clay is a bit firmer but still fairly soft and then they have their firm version which is great for super fine details but needs a little more conditioning before use (which you can do with either your hands or a pasta roller - just not the same one you use for pasta 😂) Instead of rubbing alcohol you can use clay softener to remove fingerprints, dust and hair - it works better than rubbing alcohol. Sanding is a good way to get a smooth surface though which not only removes those but also gives a better base for paints, glazes or additions. Personally I use matte acrylic paints on my clay pieces as it is more opaque than acrylic gouache so saves the need for any primers or gesso. Tip for removing the stickiness from the UV resin is to pour some of the stuff they use to remove the sticky layer from gel nail polish onto a lint free cloth and wipe over the surface of the resin. It gets rid of the stickiness and any fingerprints or smudges in the resin that you may have gotten on the sticky residue. I love polymer clay, it is so rewarding, especially once you get used to it. Check out Ace of Clay on RUclips - he is a sculpter and does tutorial videos - I have learned a HUGE amount from him since I subscribed to his channel! Hope you and your family have a lovely Christmas and New Year. Here's to a better, safer, healthier and happier 2021! 🎉🥂🍾🍻
Those are super cute! I love the fox, the scarf cat, and the spell book the most. I think you need to make Sally into a pin too! Also, that tooth is super cute and very kawaii.
I would love to see another video where you explore the acrylic gouache more! I purchased the same set and Ive been really enjoying them and I’d love to see how other people approach them. There aren’t as many videos on those paints as I thought there would be. ❤️👍
I totally agree with you-these came out so adorable!! I love the witch hat and the kitties. 😊 I really want to do this now, lol! It looks like so much fun. 😂
Isopropyl alcohol is amazing for cleaning uncured resin from brushes. Also try mix little bit of mica powder in resin and it's makes everything super magical!
the mushroom guy is my absolute favorite 💛💛💛 I hope you make more of them in the future. Id also love to see you try shrink plastic, a key chain in your style would be perfekt 🤩
Those turned out SOOOO cute. If they are tough enough, I think they would make cute charms for pet collars. You could make a few doggy type ones like a bone, a dish etc. Maybe that's too much, but I think it would be cute.
They all turned out so great and I definitely look forward to seeing more! I think the happy fox is my favorite, and I hope the dentist friend likes the tooth
You're right - Sculpey is a polymer clay. The Americans can buy it from almost any hobby/art store. The more expensive Super Sculpey is less likely to break in the oven and it's not as soft. (For some people that's a bad thing, others like the ultra soft.) Mineral oil or softner can also be used to get rid of finger prints. Some artists prefer rubbing alcohol, some like the softner better - it's all up to you. :) I've used acetone to get rid of them after baking. I'm not sure how readily available that is where you're at. It's like really really strong fingernail polish remover and used as a paint stripper. These came out so well! The fox is my favorite! I found you through NerdECrafter's 2020 rewind. I'm so excited to be here and a new artist to follow!
They are so darned cute! I especially liked the little cats. Next year you could design some with a Christmas design. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
This was really cool to watch, especially since you showed the whole process on your first time trying! 🥰 I really want to make clay pins as well but UV resin is not only hard to work with but pretty pricey 😬 the magnet idea is a really good idea though!
@Neela Bolourchian oh I haven't ever heard of that! I'll look into it, thank you sm! (although I know here in Canada mod podge is very pricey too and also hard to find lol, I've only ever seen it in 1 Walmart 😢)
I love it when you try something new and you end up really having a good time doing it. The pins all came out great and I can't decide on which is my favorite but since I love cats, I'd have to say that the cat with the scarf is the one that I like the most. In fact, this gives me an idea on what to make....
As a dedicated grain, I waited for the rubbing alcohol to make its appearance and wasn't disappointed :D. Seriously though, they turned out beautiful, can't decide on a favourite. P. S. We have those magnets at work, they are stupidly strong, even if they are small. We actually had problems getting them off our magnetic board again...
Honestly I tried the rubbing alcohol purely on Jackie's recommendation but it definitely doesn't work as well as the clay softener that Anthony (Ace of Clay) uses.
That clay looks and sounds wonderfully soft. Like you, I found polymer clay very tough to work with. So I guess trying this will be my next step. I love what you made with it, so cute! And seeing your approach been very instructional. Thank you!
these are all so cute and the medium suits your style really well! i used to make mini drawings on polymer clay for necklaces/jewelry (used a lot of micron pens, and sponge gradients for cool backgrounds!) and a lot of little sculptures; i've used different nail polishes quite a lot too, especially holographic/iridescent/duochrome ones for really fun and smooth finishes. i definitely recommend xacto/craft knives with thinner/pointy blades for cutting things out. they look incredible with the resin!! i can't wait to see what else you do with polymer clay!!
Lovely video as always! Those pins turned out super cute! And thank you for the content you provided this year! I loved each video you posted! Can't wait for the next year to see more from you! Wish you great holidays!✨
To avoid sticky UV resin, then for that last extra curing, put the item in a small see through plastic container with water. That always helps for me 🤗 Loved your pins 😁💛
Can't we just all curl up next to Sally til this whole messy year finishes...? 🐱 If this resin is anything like the gels and gel polishes nail artists use, you could try alcohol or acetone to take off the sticky layer. Also, you can mix all sorts of things into the resin like glitter, shimmer powders etc 😊 it makes it more versatile and fun!
Oh wow, thank you for this video! When you encourged us to join you in making pins, I actually took out my 8 years old clay and started playing around with it. I didn't expect myself to ever use it for anything, but you motivated me to do it, so thank you! Also, using resin for your pins worked beautifully! It really made the colors rich and vibrant. Great work! Happy Holidays to you too!
These are supper cute, My favourite one ok the orange mushroom but then after you did the lamp resin thing the cat with the scarf, mushroom orange and the fox. Truly though they are all cute. Have a wonderful break I hope your Christmas and New Year is a fun time for you and loved ones.
So cute, I love them!!! Merry Xmas Kattvalk/Marie, I hope you have a lovely rest and holiday. I had a big smile on my face the entire time I watched this calming video :) love the colours, your voice, the pin designs, and of course Sally!
I absolutely love how each piece turned out, they are very cute... I have a couple of packs of clay but haven't got round to using them yet but you've inspired me to go and dig them out from the back of my craft cupboard... I have a tip if your thinking of making more of them, *cut some acetate into 1inch strips and crease them (they crease well especially if you bone fold the creases to get a perfect edge) to match the outline of your drawing and just tape the ends together and then you have the perfect cookie cutter to cut the clay as many times as you want, I hope this is helpful to you... Happy Holidays to you, your family & your furbabies of course 🐾... Take care & stay safe my lovely... 💫😷🎄🐈⬛🎄😷💫
I also got into air dry clay lately!! I plan to make and sell some pins and magnets at some point, once I'm more experienced. I already bought my pin backs and packaging ☺ I'm also making an ashtray for my boyfriend, it's in the oven to dry faster, as we speak lol
uhh chanterelles, yum yum. they are all so cute, but if I have to choose, I´d say the fox is the cutest..or the hat.. or the tooth..or the kitten..or the blue shroom......ahhhh decisions :o) 💜✨. Merry Christmas, stay a healthy and happy cat!
Those are so cute!! I think my favorites are the cats and spell book, but they're all so good! This makes me wanna try making one, I don't know much about working with clay though ^^'
UV resin usually goes yellow in a few weeks/months, I tried q couple and had no luck with them. I would use a glossy varnish instead. In any way, great job and happy holidays for you!! :)

Sally is the main character and you can't convince me otherwise
kattvalk i'm missing your speed drawings pls do one , i like the clay pins
I love Sally so much, she is so adorable
I could watch you make all the pins!! Pin making time lapses!!
OMG those look so cute ! I really love the fox and all the cats. Happy holidays & enjoy your time of with sally
Those are super cute! I love the fox, the scarf cat, and the spell book the most. I think you need to make Sally into a pin too! Also, that tooth is super cute and very kawaii.

I totally agree with you-these came out so adorable!! I love the witch hat and the kitties. 😊
I really want to do this now, lol! It looks like so much fun. 😂
If you want to rollan even thickness with out a pasta machine stack popsicle sticks to the thickness you want and roll the clay between them .
There are rolling pins with different size discs on both sides. They vary in size, so you can get different thicknesses, do recommend it a lot!
Yes! I also used playing cards like that in the past, helps with really being able to control the thickness :)
Isopropyl alcohol is amazing for cleaning uncured resin from brushes. Also try mix little bit of mica powder in resin and it's makes everything super magical!
the mushroom guy is my absolute favorite 💛💛💛 I hope you make more of them in the future. Id also love to see you try shrink plastic, a key chain in your style would be perfekt 🤩
The fox one is absolutely adorable
That witch had is adorable!! And the youtuber Ace of Clay does a ton of clay statues and has lots of good advice for working with clay!
These are so cute! What a lucky dentist to get a handmade gift from you. 🤗
The little grey kitty is my favorite, but they are all so cute!!
Those turned out SOOOO cute. If they are tough enough, I think they would make cute charms for pet collars. You could make a few doggy type ones like a bone, a dish etc. Maybe that's too much, but I think it would be cute.
Your videos bring me so much joy and they really are a safe space for me. Thank you for always being there 💛
Talk about delicious art supplies. Reminds me of dough it looks so soft!
I love the fox and the witch hat the most but they are all so cute!
They all turned out so great and I definitely look forward to seeing more! I think the happy fox is my favorite, and I hope the dentist friend likes the tooth
Happy holidays to you and Sally as well. Thankyou for sharing, these turned out absolutely incredible! 👍❤ TFS!
These are so great! I love the extra time you took to coat them in resin, it really makes them pop!!!!

Your Videos are so relaxing!!
They are so darned cute! I especially liked the little cats. Next year you could design some with a Christmas design. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.
I love them all but especially the spell book and Merlin hat.
Ohhgh... Soooo cuteeee!!!! I wish I had a pin of my Kitty Boris 😻🌈
This was really cool to watch, especially since you showed the whole process on your first time trying! 🥰 I really want to make clay pins as well but UV resin is not only hard to work with but pretty pricey 😬 the magnet idea is a really good idea though!

This was a wonderful video! I loved watching you make these pins or badges. They were really cute and the resin made them look great! Well done!
Favourites are the cat with scarf, chanterelle and the tooth 🧡
I love all of these! The spell book and grey cat are my favorites :)
These are really cool, and so cute, love the cat ones~
I really like the emerald😍😍what a special keychain it would be❤️❤️❤️
I love it when you try something new and you end up really having a good time doing it.

Yessss! I, too, am a grain!
Also, it works better if you can get the 97% rubbing alcohol....
@@AnotherMADCreation I use 97% and it definitely doesn't do anything for me somehow.
Have a nice end of year break, Marie ^__^
Happy Solstice!!
I love them all, but my favorite are the cats and mushrooms.
Such a simple, fun idea with a great result!
Those pins would also make a cute stickersheet.
Enjoy your vacation, and holidays
Omg I love the fox and paw print!
Love the pins and of course Sally
I'd love to see a frog or snail pin :D
That clay looks and sounds wonderfully soft. Like you, I found polymer clay very tough to work with. So I guess trying this will be my next step. I love what you made with it, so cute! And seeing your approach been very instructional. Thank you!
i could watch u do these for hours and hours, my favorites are the orange mushroom and the grey kitty!!

To avoid sticky UV resin, then for that last extra curing, put the item in a small see through plastic container with water. That always helps for me 🤗 Loved your pins 😁💛
My favorite is the cat in the scarf or the purple mushroom.
These turned out so cute! Can't wait to buy some when you set up your store!
This was such a cool idea! The crystal and the spellbook are my favorites I think! Also I'm so excited to see your yearly portrait soon!!
Your videos are so inspiring and so relaxing to watch. Watching your videos have made me be so much more creative with my art process❤🐈
Love the witchy hat!!
same so cute♥
Can't we just all curl up next to Sally til this whole messy year finishes...? 🐱 If this resin is anything like the gels and gel polishes nail artists use, you could try alcohol or acetone to take off the sticky layer.

I would love to buy some of those witchy pins!
So cute. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year ❣️🎉💐☃️⛄❄️🌲🐈
Have a Happy New Year Too!
uhh chanterelles, yum yum. they are all so cute, but if I have to choose, I´d say the fox is the cutest..or the hat.. or the tooth..or the kitten..or the blue shroom......ahhhh decisions :o) 💜✨. Merry Christmas, stay a healthy and happy cat!
These came out great! I think it would be cute to see some cat butts, maybe some halloween stuff ( bats, bones, cauldrons ), and maybe some dogs.
These looks so good!
So adorable
I love them!!!
Ooo what if you add like iridescent glitter to some of them 😯 like the witch hat would look amazing with sparkles 😻
Aww these are so cute!
I’m new to your channel and I really love all your videos they are so cool!!

I love your videos!
Those are so cute!! I think my favorites are the cats and spell book, but they're all so good! This makes me wanna try making one, I don't know much about working with clay though ^^'
You could make necklace charms. They would be really cute.
So freakin' adorable! 😍
so cute!
This was a cool idea :)
UV resin usually goes yellow in a few weeks/months, I tried q couple and had no luck with them. I would use a glossy varnish instead.
In any way, great job and happy holidays for you!! :)
