One of the best things about Sculpey polymer clay is experimenting with all the amazing colors that are available. By taking some notes as I blend my own colors, I can easily recreate them. I’ll share some of the ways I take my colors to the next level and create a completely customized palette. Here is an exercise that will...
I decided I wanted to see just how well the Souffle disburses the glitter in the Premo Accents Glitter Golds since I love how Souffle disburses the mica in the metallics. I started this month with one of my current favorites - Souffle Guava. I got so entranced with the mix I did of Guava and 18K Gold (1G/3-18K) that...
This is the first mix of the 2019 year - Premo Accents Silver mixed with Souffle Poppy Seed, Guava and Bluestone I wanted to take the last NCT of January to show you two mixes from this month that I thought were just extraordinary. The first is Premo Accents Silver mixed with Souffle Poppy Seed, Guava and Bluestone. I don't...
I love me some 18K Gold, so I decided to add it to my mix list this month. Of course, I used some of my most favorite Souffle mixes with it - Latte, Pumpkin and Guava. Now I DO tend to come and go with Pumpkin, but then I find it again and think to myself, "Why did I use...
Premo Accents Copper languished on my clay shelf for far too long. Then when I picked it up again, I was like "hmm, why have I left this for so long?" Now it's one of my staples, especially for mixing because it adds a richness to the colors without the boldness of mixing with Gold. Try it with Souffle Turnip...
Looking for a way to get a slightly more pastel color, maybe a little sparkle as well? My method to do this is to mix with either Premo Accents 18k (for a warm tone) or Premo Accents Silver (for a cooler tone). So this month...
Happy Holidays to you all! I'm speechless that it's the LAST NCT of the year - where did the time fly by? For me, a lot of time was flying by while I was gleefully making a mess at my clay table. A lot of time was spent traveling from one retreat to the next, from class to class. The...
This is actually a recent mix from October. I continue to be surprised about how strong both Canary and Robins Egg perform in mixes. And LOOK at the color that they create! What a perfect new Spring Green! Of course, I also love the Pumpkin/Canary because it's...
It should come as NO surprise that a palette that yielded greens would be in my Favorite List! Let's look back at March for these wonderful soft Spring greens. The soft look of them comes from, of course, the Latte mixed into them. I also have to point out that these 3 colors have yielded color mixing surprises throughout. Robin...
I want to start my look back with my favorite mix of the year. I have mixed these colors over and over and used them whenever I could sneak them in. They feel both retro and on-trend to me and, of course, greens are always timeless to me! The fun part of mixing with Souffle is that they are already...
I can't believe it! The last NEW color palette of the year..WHERE THE HECK DID THE YEAR GO?? I thought I would do my last palette with as many of my 2018 "color crushes" as I could- so you see Pistachio, Guava and Copper - all have been noted in my NCTs as favorites. And Souffle Lagoon - a quiet...
Hmm, apparently I no longer remember how to tell my fingers to type out the entire month name of November - it took 3 tries. This week is another NCT Winner for me - I swear you can't go wrong mixing with Pistachio. And Cinnamon is ALWAYS a winner with me! Look at that beautiful soft maize color! I really...
Two of my favorite Souffle colors (really obsessions) are featured in this mix: Cinnamon and Pistachio. I don't think you can go wrong with either color as a mixer! Of course, I think Cinnamon looks great on it's own with just about any other color in the Souffle range as well as at least the Premo metallics. Cinnamon...
Okay, this is one of the wildest color palettes I've had on my table - LOOK at all the different colors! And it appears that if you run out of Souffle Jade, you can mix a VERY close version with Pistachio and Lagoon.. I really, really like that deep grey color that Pumpkin/Lagoon 1:1 makes as well as that soft...
Anytime I mix with a pinkish color, I now I'm going to get a make-up palette of colors - this is sort of a highlight/contour palette? I really like the Guava color - I think it's kind of a magical color because it looks bubblegum pink in the package, but when it's cured it has a warm/orangish undertone to it. ...
I admit it, I've become obsessed with these 3 mix colors. I've used them in at least 2 projects and I have more of the blends sitting in my travel bag, ready to go to Kansas City and Chicago! This month has triggered me to use blended colors for EVERYTHING. That Pumpkin/Pistachio 1:1 makes a great golden color in Souffle. ...
By Debbie Bulford Whilst studying Interior Design I discovered a really interesting fact: we all have a ‘safe colour’! I know this sounds strange but it will all become clear I promise! Even though you may follow fashion and colour trends, everyone will have one colour that they keep returning to. What happens if that clashes with the rest of...
All four of these colors, Pumpkin, Canary, Jade and Latte are my "go-to" colors right now (along with Pistachio). All of these colors have languished in the clay locker at one time or another and then I rediscover them and can't live without them. Am I fickle? I'd say so! I can't even blame it on a seasonal thing- that...
Well it's October so, of course, I had to feature Pumpkin in the mixes this month! I also was intrigued to see what I would get and I wasn't disappointed - I got some of the biggest ranges of colors yet! I started this month's mixes off by adding the 1:1 color of Canary - actually I started with several...
I've become quite fascinated with Souffle Canary again. It can really hold it's own in a mix, even with Premo Accents Bright Green Pearl. I love, love the 1:1 mix of these two colors as well - it's a perfect bridge between yellow and green. And of course, I already love Latte and Canary together to mix the Key Lime...
I'm beginning to think that Souffle Turnip is a magical color. First, it creates that ultraviolet blue color when mixed with Premo Accent Peacock and it even plays nicely with Bright Green Pearl! I like this beginning color palette of Bright Green Pearl, Souffle Bluestone, Cinnamon and Turnip. (Yes, I would like any palette with Bluestone and Cinnamon). It's a...
I know, technically these are NOT greens in the mixes, but LOOOOK at how luscious those colors are! That Bright Green Pearl and Cinnamon mix is all kinds of skanky brown/green and I love it! The same with the Bluestone/Cinnamon - it's like a dark dust bunny brown but I really like it. Put that color together with Souffle Igloo...
ARgh! Second Monday caught me unaware that it's ACTUALLY Tuesday! I'm using Premo Accents Bright Green Pearl as the standard color in my mixes this month, so these gonna be some greens! Wheee... I decided to play it a little safe and mix my 3 palette colors (Brt. Green Pearl, Peacock Pearl and Graphite) with Premo Accents Gold. Loooook at...
This is possibly one of my most favorite mixes of the year (do I say that all the time?) Not only did I start with 4 colors that are probably my most favorite Premo colors, but the 1:1 mixes are so rich! Premo Accents Bronze was my go-to color for a long time and then I suddenly developed a color...
I love the bright colors in this palette! They aren't a typical combination of colors, but I think they really work. I especially love the Peacock, Bright Green Pearl and Magenta Pearl together - maybe with a little kick of White or Black? Bright Copper Blended Clays Now to the sub-palettes: #1 This is my favorite - it's both rich...
Ahh, now we are SOLIDLY in my favorite color range - a mid-century modern color palette of greens and golds. I'm also discovering that Premo Accents Graphite pretty much fits in any palette - much more so than just black. I suspect that Premo Accents Copper could be one of those "fits all" colors, but it is not as dramatic...
Right? At least we like to *think* that there is a little Peacock in all of us, showing our glory to the world..not peaking at our reflections in shiny car doors.. This month, I'm featuring Premo and Premo Accent mixes. Yes! I set down my beloved Souffle for these 4 weeks of mixes. Peacock is going to be my "featured...
While I think that Souffle Bluestone is the wild card of the Souffle family, Turnip comes sauntering in this week to remind me that it can do some crazy tricks as well. For instance, check out that 1:1 mix with Jade - that is seriously a gorgeous color. I was expecting mud and I got a...Midnight Blue? Deep Purple? I...
I forget about how much I like Souffle Latte from time to time. Then once I remember, I can't quite using it! I love these three basic colors in the top trio - Bluestone, Pistachio, Jade. Jade is one of my more recent Color Crush, but Bluestone was my very first Souffle Color Crush. I clearly remember taking the plastic...
No lie, this mix starts with 3 of my favorite Souffle colors: Bluestone, Guava and Cinnamon. ALL the Souffle colors are amazing, but these three are such workhorses for me. I love, love the 1:1 mixes as well as the actual...
