Frequently Asked Questions: 1. What clay do you use? I use a paper clay. I either buy it or make my own depending on what I want to create 2. What's the difference between the bought paper clay ( amzn.to/2r5FEHY ) and the homemade paper clay (A) ruclips.net/video/LkYGfBz_MTU/видео.html (B) ruclips.net/video/_Ef-U6aZEoI/видео.html ? The homemade one is not that soft and is only good for textured surfaces like stones and tree bark. It is very cheap to make so it might worth to sand it and work it a little more than buying a paper clay. However, you can't keep it more than 5 to 7 days in the fridge. It has the best consistency when you just made it and it's fresh, so I would recommend you use it in the same day or the next and don't make more than you need 3. Can I use air dry clay? What's the difference between air dry clay and paper clay? Often times shops will sell both paper clay and ceramic clay with the same label "air dry clay". It's true, both are air hardening but there are quite a few differences: air dry clay(ceramic clay) is actually mud, natural clay, while paper clay is made with cellulose and other ingredients. Paper clay is stronger than air dry clay(ceramic clay). Air dry clay (ceramic clay) shrinks and the paper clay does not shrink. This is why paper clay is the better choice for my kind of projects. My projects usually require you to cover a jar or a plastic bottle. If the air dry clay shrinks and the bottle or jar remain the same size... you guessed it... your air dry clay will crack all around. It might be a lot cheaper but it's not what you need for these projects. 4. My clay cracks, how do you cover the cracks? You don't, you change your air dry clay to a paper clay! See why at the previous question 5. How to waterproof my paper clay creations? I recommend using a yacht varnish. Apply a few coats and make sure you cover it all around so no water touches your clay 6. What brand of paper clay do you use? I use "Das modelling material" - amzn.to/2r5FEHY 7. Where can I see the list of materials? As a general rule of my channel... READ MY VIDEO DESCRIPTIONS! I write it for you guys, is no secret what I use. For every video I write a description of what I do and what I use. 8. Do you sell your creations? No, not yet, my daughter loves them too much. 9. What colors do you use? I mostly use watercolors and acrylic paint.
WTF, who would give 100+ negative thumbs down to such creative videos!!!? There must be some sad, jealous people out there that simply can't stand creativity being shared and expressed!
Beautiful. I really appreciate the imagination & talent employed here. I enjoyed watching it from start to finish & loved the painting process with base coats & dry-brushing. It is a very sweet little project & yet another triumph for a very talented mum!
I can't begin to tell you how much Money you save me with these Projects! And that clay Recipe saved me some money too! I am an Artist that has never worked with Clay before, never thought I could do it! You gave me the the confidence to try! And your instruction videos are spot on! I'm sure it takes me much longer than it takes you, but im a work in progress! I have 5 grandkids and for Christmas I made them lamps for their rooms! The Castle, Log Fairy House, Stone and Wood Troll Houses, and the Garden Mushroom Gnomes! They Love them, they say its their favorite Christmas Present! Just wanted to Thank You! I'm working on this one now for my Sisters Birthday, after seeing the Grandkids lamps, now she wants one! I am sure she will love it! I see a lot of comments, on here, about how wonderful your work is! Just wanted to let you know that someone is actually making these Projects! And Again! Thank You!!! Keep them coming I will never have to buy a Present again! I send everybody I can to your Site! You Are An Excellent Artist! And Your Imagination Amazes Me!
Creative Mom has her own clay recipe on youtube Just go to Creative Mom/paper clay recipes on you tube and it works great the only difference that I do as i am in America is I had to convert it to cups and ounces, and I use wet joint compound, instead of dry! it's Great it doesnt crack and it goes on very smooth, and almost dries overnight I also use my kitchen aid to mix the toilet paper and glue, to a pulp, and then i mix the rest of the recipe by hand! To be honest I had to play with to get the right consistence, but hers is by far the best recipe on RUclips And the cost is probably 1/2 of buying from craft stores I make 5 gallon buckets at a time and it last a long time, I had mine last, like about a month, and it was the same consistence for the whole month, i have done a lot of her projects, Just make sure you keep it really covered up! I use a lot of it as I love Her work and am pretty much addicted to her You tube Channel! She is an amazing artist, and her videos real do make it easy!! Good Luck I am sure you will have a lot of fun with her videos, as do I and now my Grandkids Love to use her clay too! WE LOVE YOU! CREATIVE MOM!!!
Ваши домики очаровательные, сказочные, добрые! Вы меня вдохновили на создание подобных сказочных творений! Я создала уже два домика по вашим МК и вашему рецепту массы для лепки, все получилось! Благодарю, вас Диана!!! Дальнейших вам успехов в творчестве, радуйте вашими произведениями дочку и нас , ваших подписчиков!
you and your projects are Awesome ...I would love to live in that one..I love all your videos.... on a rainy day I just pile up and watch them all....love them so much....I think of you every time I start to throw away an empty Bottle.... thanks so much for sharing..Blessing from Florida
Reading through the comment's seeing people stating your not getting credit for your creations. That is the way an Artist creates at first, more less in the shadows till they're name becomes larger then life to take off! Once these companies can no longer hide the Artist's design, because the public always wants to know more. So it's up to the people to call the Artist's work out to highlight their incredible work, and help get the standing they deserve. And as always your talent is extremely detailed, and so beautiful to watch! Thank you!
When i was little my aunt used to tell us the most amazing stories about fairies and elves living in the undergrove in their mushroom houses - your videos bring back all those fairy tale memories- it is so relaxing watching you create...thank you
Genius. I want to cry. I want to live in this fairy tale. Thank you that you are, and show your miracle to the whole planet. I have no words. I am deification of you.
I find myself mesmerized ... watching you make these fairy houses ! I may have found a new desire to make these type of creations myself, thank you for sharing !
When I become a mom.. I want to be just like you, super creative yet humble and really nice person. Keep up the good work mommy. I'm one of your greatest fan. I love your creations, and I wish to create something like that on weekend. God bless you and thank you for inspiring me to be creative again. 😘
OK, it's official. I am so jealous of you. I used to be creative when I was younger, but not anymore. I LOVE watching your videos. Just the fact that you can keep coming up with different creations is more than impressive. Thanks for sharing your videos with us. ♡
You rock my world! Thx for your inspiration! I have just discovered polymer clay, have been playing around, learning mostly! By watching amazing people like you who share ideas and thoughts. Fairy houses, clay and recycling, that’s my idea of fun crafting.
Me fascinan las hadas duendes elfos ninfas todo lo que tenga que ver con el mundo mágico y todas estas cosas que haces son hermosísimas Me encantan Muchas felicidades ... eres una mamá supermega creativa bendiciones....
Simplemente !! Es realmente un hermoso trabajo, donde la imaginación y el don d las manos creativas. Un 1000 d califc. Me suscribo, aunque no se mucho ingles. Cuide mucho esas manos. D Veracruz, México.*-*-*
I'm really loving making your creations and adding my own touches. Glad I just read the comments about using paper clay instead. I'm making a massive fairy garden using lots of different methods. Thanks for the way you present your videos.
Found your videos just today! Not a big RUclips watcher, however! I am so amazed at your abilities and talents. Beautiful use of materials, would never - ever have guessed! Thank you for sharing. Your video skills are appreciated as well. Keeping the focus on your talent and art, not all mussed up with background clutter. Again, you are appreciated. Thank you!
This is so freaking awesome, like it is insane...... *DON'T* *SHOOT* *ME* *YET!* ...But I'm just wondering, if the top/side of the 2-liter soft-drink bottle could be opened up (and hot glued back down) at the top to have the inside finished with painted walls and clay floors (of course the floors be leveled out than clay applied) to be carved out and painted as if it was real wood..or or the floor could be made of some sticky paper or vinyl materials (I'm just shooting out ideas)... Have mini-miniature furniture to be spread around inside...you know like a set of table and chairs, a bed, things you would normally find in a studio apartment, have 3 or 4 pendant black cords LED lights hanging from the ceiling - like the old-fashioned single bulbs... With all of the walls, ceiling, floors, mini-miniature furniture, mini appliances (maybe) and the lighting.. This mini-house if it could be done, and if it was when you look through the small windows or the cracks in the walls of this Hobbit or Fairy's house, you would have thought you were actually looking through the windows of a actual Hobbit or Fairy house and the inside would almost match the outside... I do believe kids and adults alike would be so fascinated looking through the windows of this house...
Watched your video all the way through and its fantastic the work you do. I visualize this full size so a family could live in it! Thanks for taking your time to make such a nice how to video.

New to your channel and love these adorable creations! One question. Might it be possible to somehow make the doors able to open/close?
Just a suggestion... But couldn't you use twisted newspaper for the twists of foil?
получаю удовольствие от каждого видео. Очень люблю Ваше творчество, оно уютное и доброе. Удачи и вдохновения!
Wow! Your painting layering techniques are stunning! Every paint layer adds more and more realism! Thank you for the tutorial!
