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
Whether you’ve been thinking about getting into clay crafting or you’ve been doing this unique hobby for a little bit now, you may still be learning about different tools and clays and coming up with new projects to try. There are all kinds of clay out there, and you’ll probably give most of them a try
When you work with clay, you have endless possibilities in the types of pieces you can create. Your only limit in this unique craft is your imagination! When you use Sculpey® clay and our specialized tools, you can make just about anything. If you’re looking for unique new ideas for Sculpey® clay, try making clay
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
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
Ohhh, I love the greens! Jade has been an underused color in my palettes that has lately risen to the near top (which is permanently occupied by Cinnamon). I love all three of these mixes for their unique color properties – the Rose mix is rich and warm; the Yellow is warm and bright; and
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
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
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 know about you, but I seem to forget about Silver from time to time because I
First, as I’ve said many times, the colors really surprised me when I opened the test box of clay. But after a full day of working with it, I realized how they were designed to go together and pop against each other. They look like custom colors right out of the package. Second, when I
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
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.
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
Remember when last year January felt like it was 15 weeks long? Well, this year on the calendar it IS long – 5 weeks! This week I’m mixing Premo Accents Antique Gold with Souffle Poppy Seed, Bluestone and Pumpkin. The souffle combo is an unlikely favorite of mine – it’s not a light palette or
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
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,
I tend to participate in craft fairs only during the holiday season. I’m sure I could pursue farmer’s markets and summer craft fairs if I really wanted to. However, there’s something about the season of gift-giving that makes me all giddy about presenting my art to the community. I want my art to be the
