I heard that to seal in acrylic on clay it's best to use a glaze. Is there a glaze where it dries matte?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

How do you make sure the clay doesn't get brittle? Or what do you keep the clay in?
I put mine in a container and it all dried up and I can't form anything.

Hi! sorry for the late reply (school...finals..u_u)
I use a plastic container to save the clay..but just for avoid the dust, I never have the problem of brittle, be sure to used polymer clay that dry only with the oven, there is another kind of clay that dry out with the air and sometimes you need water to work with this clay. Please let me know if you resolve your problem and any doubt I´m here

Do you know if it is possible to use a metal armature in the clay? If yes, what kind of metal?
I'm afraid it will melt when I bake the piece in the oven... ^^"

Hi, sorry for the late reply (school u_u)
and it is possible used metal, you can use almost any metal because the mean temperature and time that you need for most polymer clays are not enough to melt metals

In the meantime, I did my sculpture and baked it yesterday!

se hornea?
un horno especial?
que tan dificil es pintarlos? (aca solo venden neutra)
que es lo mas facil con lo que puedo empezar? como... muñequitos de practica o algo xD no se, galletas, o pancakes, algo .-. xD [eso si, paciencia! porque son miniaturas y... paciencia -.-U xDDD]

Hola!! disculpa la tardanza (escuela)
Y no te preocupes yo te responderé lo que sepa
Si se hornea, el tiempo de horneado depende de la marca de arcilla y no es necesario un horno especial, el horno de casa convencional funciona
No es dificil, solo necesitas paciencia para hacer todos los detalles y sobre todo si son piezas muy pequeñas.
Y puedes empezar con galletas

Hi! I been collecting the tools with the time in various craft and arts stores (mostly in Michaels craft store), some of the tools I use are not for modeling clay but if the tools are useful why don´t use them?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well is differente for any kind of polymer clay,and also depends of the thickness of the figure, for example for fimo is 130 °C for 20 min for about one inch of thickness. But don´t worry any clay comes with security instructions and the right temperture
I hope this help you
any doubt feel free to ask

I would love to see a tutorial for how you did your Sakura key, or your robot in your deviantion Biru Biru. It intrigues me, they look so well done. Of course, this is all if you'd want to share your secrets for how you made those. I'd understand if you didn't want to.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
of course! I don´t think that I should save my techniques as a secret because there is somebody that is having a bad time molding clay (I know this because I been there) and sometimes we need a just a little help to practice and with the time create our own techniques to make our own desings n_n
thank you for the suggestion!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My pleasure! And that little robot is adoreable~ I love how the arms and legs are free hinged, it makes it all the cuter.

Wonderful tutorial! I was wondering how much the clay usually costs?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you!!!^-^there are different types of clay, brands and colours, so the price depends of that, but you can have and idea of the cost here: [link]
I hope this will be useful, If you have any doubt just ask
(sorry for the delayed reply)

👍: 0 ⏩: 1
