I have watched sooooo many of your videos in the past few days, making crazy amounts of notes and I look forward to every new video! You're stuff is so informative and you've taught me so many things that I can't wait to try when I get my office unloaded at my new house. Thanks so much for helping people like me!!!
Bargello must be in the air! I've been playing with this technique as an alternative to using my scrap in Natasha beads and Damascus canes. I've been making a tight swirled roll of the scraps before putting them through the pasta machine so my stripes are well-defined. I love your technique as well. it gives me a more organic option.
Hi Cindy! The name "Bargello" originates from the Palazza Bargello, now a museum of arts, in Florence, Italy. There is a type of embroidery work in this palace, that is the source of the "bargello-technique".
Oooo! This looks so cool. I have noticed that this pattern is very popular with like the boho and festival fashions. If you could make a big one and put it on maybe like a gold or like antiqued looking necklace chain it would look so amazing! I'm going to try it out once I have enough scraps.
When I just started to watch your video, Cindy, I was looking for word and later you said organic! It's right - ORGANIK! Looks very nice! I have too much scrap clay, now I know what to do)) Thanks so much!!!
Bargello of clay love it ! I have so Opal chips I’ve been saving for something a focal bead of this nature , I’m going to try would you recommend a resin for the chips ? and clay ? I have the liquid clay in clear For the Clay !
Love the Bargello technique, so pretty :) And my daughter caught sight of that adorable little Enchanted Rose in the background and wants to know if it is like Belle's rose, and did you make it? If so, please teach it soon, my daughter wants one sooo much. Your videos are always so clear to follow and my projects always work when I follow them.
Thank you, I was wondering if anyone would see that! Yeah, I am excited about the new Beauty and the Beast Movie coming out, so I thought it would be fun to make a realistic looking miniature Enchanted Rose. I love how it turned out... I was hoping others would like it too!
This is really interesting. Thank you. Can I ask a question? I note that the idea is to use up scrap clay. If your scrap clay is a mixture of different makes and types of clay, ie. sculpey + fimo, can you mix those together. I understand the manufacturers would say not, but would I really get into too much trouble?
Some people mix clay, but I don't like to. Not because the company said so... I don't care what they think about that. But more because of the difference in qualities and baking temps between brands. Some clays are pretty similar in baking temps and ingredients like Premo and Souffle for example and I have no issue mixing them. Others are too far apart like Fimo and Kato for example and I wouldn't trust that either clay would be properly baked if they were in the same piece.
That's really helpful Cindy. That's just the kind of trouble I meant. I will watch out for the baking instructions on the packet. I'm new to polymer and I have been finding your videos extremely helpful. Thank you so much. Marie x
hey! love your videos, im a newbie with clay but have been a cake decorator for years so have the tools atleast. only think I don't have and was wondering, what brand is the cutting board you are using? it's perfect size and seems to work well with your clay. also, do you remember the store you got it from, if it's a larger name store (we are lacking most names in hawaii)? thank you so much, sorry it's not a question about the technique :P
Hi Tiffany, I did a video on that glass mat that you might want to check out. It is called a Precision Glass Cutting Mat by We R Memory Keepers. I got mine at +Michaels Stores
hey!! do you have any ideas if Its safe to bake my polymer clay in home oven?? and is it safe to store baked and raw polymer clay in a glass container???
Hi Amanda, I am sorry, I have not made dolls in polymer clay yet. (There are so many things that can be done with the stuff, isn't there?) I think that maybe +SugarCharmShop may have done a video, but I am not sure. If you type Ball Jointed Dolls Polymer into the RUclips search bar, you should be able find something that will help. Good luck!
it depends on the scale of your bjd but if you are doing a smaller scale you can use a polymer clay bead roller. that way they are all the same size and shape.
I got mine at Michael's arts and crafts store. I tried to get it in Walmart but it was way over priced. I googled it at first, then did the search through different stores around the area.
REALLY basic request....can you show how to get a large flat sheet of clay pressed in the pasta machine? i know they wont come out perfect, and you can cut them to make a perfect sheet, but every time i try its not anything near to a sheet of clay. they come out totally mishapen and cant even be cut into a nice sheet. lol. thank you!!
I met a wonderful channel 6 years ago. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work! It looks great.

Excellent idea. The best ideas are always simple and right in front of you.
They often are!
Thank you so much. Love this!!

+PolymerClayTutor Thank you! I haven't seen it yet but ill keep looking! :)
Last day I heard of Gelliprinting for first time in one of the face book forums.Can you please demonstrate or pass some hints on that area. TIA
I will eventually have a video on that because I am interested in that technique as well.
Thank you :)

Cool! I am happy to hear that! 💖
Nice video. I enjoy it a lot. Thanks for sharing! Sifoutv Pottery
Do you know how to make ball joints in polymer clay so that you could make a bjd doll?
Hi Amanda, I am sorry, I have not made dolls in polymer clay yet. (There are so many things that can be done with the stuff, isn't there?) I think that maybe +SugarCharmShop may have done a video, but I am not sure. If you type Ball Jointed Dolls Polymer into the RUclips search bar, you should be able find something that will help.

it depends on the scale of your bjd but if you are doing a smaller scale you can use a polymer clay bead roller. that way they are all the same size and shape.
Where could I get a matt like your is with measurements and lines and angles?
Mary Jackson I got mine from American Science and Surplus, but most craft stores carry them, as well as art sites like Dick Blick
I got mine at Michael's arts and crafts store. I tried to get it in Walmart but it was way over priced. I googled it at first, then did the search through different stores around the area.
It reminds me of peyote stich in the beading world
Good point!
REALLY basic request....can you show how to get a large flat sheet of clay pressed in the pasta machine? i know they wont come out perfect, and you can cut them to make a perfect sheet, but every time i try its not anything near to a sheet of clay. they come out totally mishapen and cant even be cut into a nice sheet. lol. thank you!!
Try holding your fingers on either side of the clay sheet to control it. I show this in my Skinner Blend and Teardrop Blend videos. That may help.
+PolymerClayTutor thank you! i will check it out 😊
