Description
I received a few questions regarding the techniques I use to finish my polymer clay pieces, mainly from dear and , and these two inspired me to write my very first tutorial. I hope some of you might find it useful
I am happy to anwer any questions that you still might have. I feel so inspired by this wonderful community and the people here, and I love to share and give back what I have learned so far.
A similar tutorial in German can be found on my blog .
As usual, I appreciate constructive criticism

I was so excited to see this, but I still have a question. When ever I try to use this stuff, I seem to be really heavy handed - it completely blots everything. I have a hard time making it look accent-y as opposed to solid colored, lol. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

I think it is a matter of practise! Just use a very small brush and dip it in only lightly into the powder!

Hello! I wanted to let you know that I cited your tutorial in the article Introduction to Polymer Clay written for Project Educate because I believe it's one of the best resources available in DA. Thank you so much for your generosity in making tutorials and inspiring others

Hey!
May I ask you how you do a pattern on your clay? I mean, do you imprint something or what?

(smiles) I will, and you're most welcome! The local Fred Meyers sells the colors by the each, rather than only in packs... (drools) I bought a pack, and was vexed that it included pinks, which I'm not too likely to want to use... ever. Not a color I care for much, but use rarely when it's the uh, best choice? So glad that others can love that color freely. (smiles)

(chuckles) Yes, well I'm STILL glad that there are people to love pink in the world, even though I am not one of them.

das ist ein richtig gutes und verständliches tut geworden, klasse
jetzt muß ich mir nur noch pearl-ex besorgen
schon ein wahnsinns-unterschied was die acrylfarbe bewirkt, das herz bekommt gleich noch viel mehr tiefe und die stempel und strukturen kommen richtig toll zur geltung
man denk gar nicht, dass das herz ursprünglich nur aus einer farbe gefertigt wurde

Bitte, gerne, und vielen Dank
Ja, es macht wirklich einen Riesenunterschied mit der Acrylfarbe. Wobei ich mich ungefähr bei jedem einzelnen Teil frage, ob ich es nun patinieren soll oder nicht
Bei allen Steampunk-Sachen habe ich übrigens mehrere Farben benutzt

meinst du mehrere Acrylfarben oder pearl-ex?
tja wenn die acrylfarbe einmal drauf ist bekommt man sie ja nicht mehr ganz runter,oder? hast du eigentlich schon mal metallic acrylfarben ausprobiert, macht das überhaupt sinn (als ersatz für die pearl-ex )

Ich meinte mehrere Pearl Ex Farben. Ich nehme oft Bronze, Kupfer, altes Kupfer, Gold, Superbronze, Silber usw.
Ich glaube, man bekommt nicht mehr alles runter, ich habe noch nicht versucht, es komplett zu entfernen, aber es dürfte recht schwierig sein. Wobei diese Babyfeuchttücher sehr effektiv sind.
Ich denke, es macht schon Sinn, mit Metallic-Acrylfarben zu arbeiten, aber zum einen bin ich so untalentiert, wenn es um Farbe und Pinsel geht, zum anderen finde ich, das Pearl Ex schimmert sehr viel schöner. Aber einen Versuch ist es immer wert!
