- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- I have been working a lot lately on setting up my new studio. It's been a process of gradually moving stuff from the old room just down the hall, to my new larger space. There is still more things to do, but I thought I'd give you a sneak peek today, since you will be seeing this new room in future videos from this point forward. Hope you enjoy it watching this transition happen and that you will be able to pick up some organization and design tips along the way!

I have a suggestion for a new vid -- blades. I bought the standard Sculpey blade packet and they work, but I see people using bendable blades, stiffer blades, talking about sharpening blades, and so on. How do the different brands compare? What about the usefulness of the variations? Thanks! I would trust your opinion.
Thank you YellowOrangeRed for your comment. I have already done one video on polymer clay blades that may be helpful for you. ruclips.net/video/nsXXavPAijo/видео.html
I should have known you would be ahead of me! LOL. Thanks. Here's another one -- I follow directions on spiral canes and MINE look tortured with ungraceful spiral path, sharp turns in the spiral -- wonky and interesting, but I'd like to do the smooth and lovely spirals.
I did much the same thing to my spare bedroom after my youngest daughter got married and left home. IKEA storage units ROCK! It does get overwhelming - sorting and organizing, but it's such a pleasure just to be in the room once it's completed. Hang in there!
Cindy - the new room looks fab! The "rainbow" colors will definitely inspire you.
Congratulations on your new studio it is shaping up quite nicely. Congratulations to Willow pn her engagement.
So happy for you! Thank you for all your RUclips videos. They are so great! Maria
To be so organized, awesome work space. I love the colors and the sun light. Careless whispers is one of my favs even though I more of a 60's girl.
Hi Cindy! congratulations on your new studio, love the colors idea, and you been someone with very good taste I'm sure when you finish it it will be gorgeous! Congratulations also to your daughter Willow! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Awesome, so happy for your new space! I enjoy all your sharing of your great talent on videos. HUGS.
So happy for you! I'm in the process of re-designing & setting up my studio & often wonder, "Now where the heck will I put this??" and, "Where the heck did I put THAT?" I admire you for being able to shoot your fun & helpful videos during your transition. ♥ Can't wait to see your finished new space!
A new studio space is so exciting! Have fun going through and reorganizing all your supplies. :-)
So happy foe you! Having the creative place is sooooooo important.
Looks great - I love the rainbow drawers! When a daughter moves out it must feel different to when a son goes... Brandon has been at Uni for almost 3 years but his room is an unchangeable shrine, where I sit and cry, because I want to look after "my baby". My 6 foot tall, 230 pound, tattooed, lip-pierced baby. *runs away crying*
Don't cry sweet Valerie. I am sure he comes by to empty out your refrigerator every so often! :) (I couldn't exactly leave Willow's Room as a shrine... she took just about everything with her! I do miss her a lot though. I miss having a girl in the house that will chat and bake with me.)
I love the new studio! It looks warm and comfortable :)
You're living the life! Have fun nesting, and I look fwd to what's next
Wow to have a room for a studio .
Have fun in your new studio ! Congratulations !
Beautiful! I know the feeling of being overwhelmed with having to move some to move something else out to move something else in! My oldest is getting married in June, an I'm planning to move my youngest daughter into my craft room upstairs and move my craft room into their two bedrooms, cutting an opening in the wall between them for easier access also. Because I can't move anything until after she's married, I've had plants of time to think, measure, and plan. What I thought would be an easy move, since I'll be doubling my craft space, poses several challenges not the least of which is that I'm disabled, so it'll be a slow moving process. Deciding what has to be moved first and in what order has been problematic. I'm so glad I've had time to think it through. When the air conditioner repairmen came to put in our new unit (they call it the wedding budget curse-- you spend twice the budget in "other" expenses, so far it's true), they knocked over a shelf in my craft room and failed to pick up a Mason jar of closed Mason jar of blue paint. They had no idea this jar was knocked over. Neither did I until the next day. Now we have to factor in time for getting new flooring to replace the carpeting in what will be my daughters new bedroom. Do you have any "war stories" in the re-do/renovate process? You said y'all did the flooring yourself. What kind of flooring? Thanks for sharing!
So happy for you! Already looks fabulous!❤️
How pretty ! :D My studio is also under construction, I hope to be able to craft in it for summer ! :)
Your videos are a lifesaver! Thank you so much!
How exciting for you, it looks like it will be a wonderful creative space. I'm looking forward to your future videos. 💞
Congratulations on your new space Cindy! Looks awesome. I have a designated craft room and love it so much.
Look forward to all the upcoming videos!
Congrats on your new space!!!
My son moved out a couple of months ago so i took over his room for a craft room. Now I have a separate room for polymer clay and another room for resin .
Very nice, it's much lighter than the other room. Love your salt lamp, I received mine a couple weeks ago it's a basket with lots of rocks. Might get a solid one to place in the living room cause I found some of the rocks in Moms room, she has Alzheimer. Thank you for sharing your room.
What a great space, funny enough I also now have my craft area in what was my daughter's room and then after getting it to a point where I could actually work she moved back home! Fortunately we have a room in the loft so that's where she is ha!
LOL
Congratulations!! How exiting, I wish I could have a space for my crafts too.
very exciting! and everything looks great :). also I see the sculpey tool organizer and melody Susie ya got still on the desk. saw you review those and I loved them. :) very greatful for all you do for us crafter's!!
How exciting! (& a lot of work!) I got a new space a few months ago & I'm still working on organization. Keep trying to find better solutions, but I think I've just about got it. Look forward to seeing the progress on your room!
Lovely, is really nice enjoy it in health
Very nice!!
Side note "Careless Whisper".....RIP George Michael.
Very excited for you...a terrific way to begin a new year! I'm interested in where you picked up your rainbow drawer units.
Hi Fran those are the drawers made by "Really Useful Box". I got them at a Canadian store called Deserres. I see that Michaels has a similar one but I think the drawers are a little deeper.
THANK YOU! Eager to see you finally settled in...Love your tutorials!
I love it are you going to do a full tour of everything? I would love to see that video!
It will be a little while yet. I am constantly bringing in stuff from the other room and readjusting things so that they function well. It will be a work in progress for awhile. But certainly when it is finished, I will share it with everyone.
I have seen videos on making the candles where they dip them in different colors then stand them on end and make slices to decorate, some removed and some peeled down. I want to try this for a pendant and I think it would be a good video if it can be done on this small scale....
I've seen those candles and they are very cool! It is something that I have on my list to figure out sometime. Thanks for the reminder!
I am just starting out and would be interested in your suggestions on must-have tools/kits/supplies/etc. The new studio looks great, btw! 😁
Likewise :)
+stacy Burns and Betty, here is a video that should help: Polymer Clay Tools for Beginners - Basic Starter Kit ruclips.net/video/DITsZ_Tu3Dk/видео.html
Thank you so much! I have been following a couple people but you are my favorite. Love to listen to you talk - I think it's that Canadian accent. Whatever it is, I find listening to you very relaxing. And I really enjoy how you explain your techniques.
Hi Cindy! Lucky you! Can you tell us where the tables are from, as well as the plastic rainbow organizers?
Thanks, Marilyn
Hi Cindy! Great job on your new studio! I love the rainbow cabinets!
I'd love to have your expertise on something...I make fairly large polymer props like lollipops and these usually take up to 10 packs of clay which gets very expensive. Is there a more affordable clay that you can recommend that can be used as the core? I've been using scrap poly clay for the inside but I'd like to use another oven safe clay that might work with polymer clay. Any recommendations? I'd really appreciate your thoughts. 💚💜💗Thanks Cindy!
SOOOO COOL :'3
Lucky you! =)
congrat's on your new studio! but where is doug going to stand when he films you? Doesn't look like there's room on the sides :)
That's funny that you should say that, have already moved some things around for that very reason!
I love your new studio. Have you taken up a new hobby.. still doing polymer clay or other art crafts?
Thank you! No I am still doing polymer clay. Just working on a new website that has taken way more time and money than expected. Hopefully we will be back to making RUclips videos soon!
Nice to see how things are going. Geeky research tech question. What do you have in the two flasks?
Those are just some glow in the dark 'crystals' that I got at Michaels during Halloween. I thought they would make a cute prop for the PcT Test Lab videos.
Missed the scheduled tut today, with my commet you said you would include, can I get to it?
All the Q&A replays are on our Facebook Page facebook.com/polymerclay though I doubt I would have answered your question yet, since there is quite a long waiting list for answers.
+polymerclaytutor Is it safe to color polymer clay with acrylic paint BEFORE it is baked like you would use alcohol inks to color polmer clay? Will it be safe to bake?
Budang Chaka I've used acrylics before with no issues. I wouldn't recommend alcohol inks prior to baking. Usually it is applied after and it looks very nice.
