For today’s post I thought it would be fun to update a classic hollow bead technique that I’ve used for many years by using the delicious new bright colours in the Souffle line. I was sent some of these to try (along with some other fun stuff – thanks Polyform!) and I think they are just the thing for me...
I decided I wanted to see how these vibrant new colors play with Souffle Igloo to create pastel. Again, I was surprised that they reacted like any other color (don't ask my WHY I think it would be different - no idea!) And I really liked the addition of the Igloo to the original color palette as well as a...
When I first began exploring polymer I was coming from years working with hot glass. You can imagine how excited I was to find that translucent clay existed in a few varieties in the Polyform line! I found it was a natural progression from sandblasted glass to translucent polymer clay. It’s very easy to add small amounts of colour to...
I've been mixing the new Souffle colors with the Premo Accents Pearls, but I thought it might be a good idea to mix them with their Souffle teammates. So this month, I'm mixing Mandarin, Grape and Raspberry with existing Souffle colors, starting with Cinnamon this week. Now it's no secret that you can Ochre pretty much any color by mixing...
1. True or False – you can mix new colors using our current colors of clay? Answer- True! Sculpey oven bake clays come in hundreds of amazing bright colors but the best part is that you can create your own unique shades by mixing them together! 2. True or False – You use a kiln to cure polymer clay? ...
Okay, Cornflower is a Super Hero of color - Look at that range of mixed colors it produced? Blue, grey, bronze and green? Whaaaat??? I'm going to take this color SERIOUSLY!! I love the color actually- it doesn't seem to have a black tint to it like I feel most dark blues have. Check out these sub-palettes: #1 Wow! Look...
By: Anke Humpert My favorite technique in polymer clay is a very simple one. I learned it from Donna Kato and I have used it ever since. It´s easy to make but very versatile. And you don’t need a lot of tools: You need at least two colors of clay, but you can use more if you want to. I...
If you had told me that Raspberry would be my current favorite color, well, I would have laughed at that nonsense. But...it is! I can't stop using it! It can go from intense color to a beautiful subdued range of pinks. To the sub-palettes! #1 Classy transition palette from Summer to Fall right? I want to make a bunch of...
Creating polymer clay sculptures is a great way to engage your child's imagination — and yours, too! The clay starts out soft and moldable, but once you bake it, the polymers fuse and harden. Magic! If you've never worked with polymer clay before, you might have some questions about the process of baking it. That's why we created this "how...
I love this new member of the purple family - Souffle Grape. It's very, well purple, but it's not a somber color and look at those amazing mixes! And look at how strong the Grape mix is with Pearl! I'm gonna use all four of these mixes for sure! #1 What a classic combo! And that Gold/Grape mix is going...
Multiple shades of Green? YES!!! Metallic greens? YES YES!! Souffle Shamrock is such a fun color, I immediately ran out of the little bit I was given and I'm anxiously awaiting it's release so I can restock. This is going to be a great mix color and an outstanding color on it's own. To the sub-palettes: #1 Oh yeah, I...
Once again, I got tricked! When I first got the new Souffle Colors, my eyebrows went up - and once again, I can't live without these colors! This month I'm mixing each of the 5 new colors with 2 Metallics and 2 Souffle colors. Let's see what happens! This week I'm mixing the new Souffle color, Mandarin, with Pearl, Latte...
This week I mixed with what I call my neutrals. There wasn't any really surprises here except how well the Poppy Seed influenced the 18k. That is a beautiful RICH color! Now to the sub-palettes! #1 -a classic combo #2 Ohhh, this is a different take on a classic - i like it! The smooth Latte really grounds the sparkle...
This guide is for you if you are wanting to get into making cute clay charms out of polymer clay or have already started and consider yourself a beginner. I have been making kawaii style charms since I first picked up my first blocks of clay in 2012 and have learnt lots along the way, so I hope you get...
Ahh, it's the Souffle blues and greens week - just in time for St. Patrick's Day! (my mother was a Murphy) I'm still amazed that Pistachio, even at a 1:4 ratio, still makes itself known. And who would guess that Jade would almost bow out while Sea Glass definitely holds it own (and I love that metallic green it creates...
It doesn't matter if you're new to clay or you've been working with this medium for many years. With so many types of clay out there, it can be hard to remember exactly how they're similar or what their unique characteristics are. Terracotta and polymer clays represent two different types. If you're new to this craft, or even if you...

I have found that with the many years I've been sharing my polymer clay work online I often get a lot of questions about different the techniques and processes I use, which is great because crafters are trying to learn new things and further improve their skills. Some of these questions are quite advanced and some we can consider quite...
These are interesting! Again, you can clearly see what each of the Glitters bring to the table in terms of warm/coolness. I think the Rose GG/Turnip is my favorite! I kinda want that in nail polish.. To the sub-palettes! #1 Yes! I would totally use this sub palette - especially for jewelry, but I can also envision these colors on...

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 am probably the biggest fan of Souffle out there! (and you probably already gathered that from all my posts..LOL) It wasn't always that way.... Part of what I do for Sculpey is create projects with the new products and items for the packaging photos. I also like to say that it's my job to try to break the new product ...
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...
by Megan Durocher We all have someone who inspires us. For me, that was my stepfather, Dennis. While he was on hospice, I took care of him. During this time, he told me that I needed to do something for myself as well. I tried to think of things that I could pursue and find time for while still being...

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. ...
