This month I’m exploring how some of the new Souffle colors mix with BOTH the Premo metallics and the original Souffle colors. I chose to mix with 1 part of the selected color (Grape this week) to 2 parts of the mix colors (Bronze, Silver and Canary this week) – instead of my usual 1:1

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
I have nicknamed this month “Missing May” – WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO MAY? I blinked and it’s almost gone… So before I go out to the garage, er, my Deluxe Designer Studio in my “attached She Shed” to start my June NCT I figured I better drop my last NCT for May. Pistachio is
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
This week I mixed 3 of the new Souffle colors with Souffle Canary in 1:1 mixes. Canary can usually hold it’s own in mixes, so I wasn’t too worried about losing it. I WAS super surprised with the first mix of Mandarin and Canary – I expected something practically glowing from that bright combo, but
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
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
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
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
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 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
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
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
By: Anke Humpert I love tools, and I love textures. So talking about my favourite tools will naturally also be a lot about textures. The first set of tools I would like to show you if the one above. It´s a set of dentist tools that I found at my local flea market. They have
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
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
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
This guide is for you if you are wanting to get into making cute 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
Now we already know that Souffle Turnip can do magical things, but check out Cherry Pie! We now have a Orange/Mango Glitter! And how about Royalty with that cool Brass tone? Guava makes the 18k warmer and richer while Turnip gives us a deep Rose Gold. The mica in these mixes is just lovely. To
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
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

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
YES, Premo Accents 18K Gold is my current Color Crush! Especially when I mix it with Souffle – any Souffle. I love to see how the Souffle disperses the mica throughout the mixes. This month I’m going to mix with colors kind of in groups. This week it’s the natural tones (of Fall maybe?). I
Well, February was over in a flash! Actually, a splash where I live – historical amounts of rain and snow here in SoCal. This week I’m mixing the Glitter Golds with Souffle Sea Glass, which is one of my favorite mix colors because I never know if it’s going to go blue or green. I
One of the best parts about working with polymer clay is being able to transform it to resemble practically anything. Stones, shells, wood and more can be imitated using polymer clay, making it one of the most versatile mediums on the market. Even though these elements can be mimicked with clay, using natural materials with
