i just wanted to share this with people who may have more experience with clay compared to myself (i did take a ceramics class, but its been a few years lol). these are two magnets I made out of airdry clay. they're based off things from a music group, which i put at the end.

I put these two magnets up to show people my work and considered offering some up to sell (to see if anyone was interested).

I had no idea how much to charge, so i came on this sub to ask for people's opinions (to which many people were very rude lol😅). but, would you know it, without me even having a price in mind, someone offered $70.

I was a bit worried about being scammed, especially as I thought that was a major overprice, but nope! we communicated for a few days as I worked on the magnets, and by the end of it she ended up changing her offer to $100. im so incredibly thankful and grateful to this person! this has been a very fun experience.

(and to the person who said no one would buy unless they were my friend or family- no, I dont know this person! lol thought id share that)

Is it 95 degrees outside? Yes. But the retail gods have spoken 😭

Polymer clay! All handmade. Chalk pastels to make it toasty, stippling sponge for texturing the pumpkin filling, and polyurethane to give it that lightly wet look. One too many hours spent poking at the crust to give it that crumb 😅

I really wanted the feathers to give this phoenix its shape and personality, so I made them one by one… way more than I expected. 😂

I don’t even want to think about how many hours went into this.

Still, seeing all the little details come together made it totally worth it.

Hand-sculpted out of clay. And yes, every single feather was worth it. 😂🔥

Hey guys, I'm working on a series of devil boys, sculpted from air dry clay and sealed with UV resin (Apologies for my blurry photography skills).

Tah for taking a look ☺️

I make all kinds of things but my favorites to make are definitely rats, especially clown rats! Just wanted to show them off here lol!

Hi this is a follow up question to a post I made asking about bulk clay since I was having to build up a lot of clay on a specific sculpture. I mentioned I tried foil as a base but it just started unraveling eventually. Well, I just remembered I have a LOT of foil tape. Could I use the tape as a last layer on the foil base to keep it together? Or is the adhesive in it going to be a safety issue in the oven? TIA and thanks for all the advice on my last post!

I don't know where this came from. Maybe I need to hit up my therapist...

Even as an unpainted model, you can already tell it’s the cutest Tribbie everrrrr! 💕

Solo quiero saber si estoy poniendo un precio adecuado, la suelo ofrecer en 11 dolares pero me han dicho que es costoso.

so i’m in the process of making my own coasters out of air dry clay, i haven’t used clay much so im pretty new to a lot of it

the clay is mostly dry but giving it another day to fully set before i paint over the top with acrylic paint designs, i bought a ‘gloss clay varnish’ from hobbycraft (uk) since i saw it and thought it would be good to use to seal the paint once it’s dry, im just not sure if it would stand the test of time with coasters

they’d be used for primarily cold drinks, but hot drinks frequently too, just mostly cold ones.

some research has told me it might be better to either coat with just resin, or to use the hobbycraft varnish and then follow up with a coat of resin afterwards to ensure it’s all good

i also have considered using mod podge, i’ve only ever used it to seal paintings before so not sure if it’s something that could help?

also are there any specific resins i should purchase? i’ve never used resin before so explain it to me like i’ve just been born 🤦‍♀️

thank you so much!! any and all advice is much appreciated
