Which statement is true of polymers Videos

+conversequeen64 Polymer clay does not really "dry up", but it does become unconditioned. you need to "wake up" the elascticity and maleability of the clay but conditioning it. knead it in your hands, run it through pasta machine several times, work it until it becomes pliable, then let it rest for several hours. there are also things you can add to clay to recondition it or make it softer but I know nothing about them. I have, however, become so frustrating when trying to condition crumbly clay, that I have given up and chucked it. not because I thought it was ruined, but because it wasn't worth the hassle of working to condition it. I just bought another block.

Huh. I still feel like my clay gets so hard when i don't wrap it up, but I usually use Sculpey. Will try Premo and Souffle to see if they stay soft longer! Thanks for answering my question!

+conversequeen64 Premo polymer clay does not dry out. It is not air dry but an oven bake clay.

+PolymerClayTutor Tell her it's very cute and the love it was made with is all that counts. :) It's nice to have those small reminders of days past. I still put things my girls made in preschool on our Christmas tree.

+Calisa Selfridge My daughter made that for me in grade 4 or 5. She was embarrassed to give it to me because it wasn't up to her level of creativity. I hung it there on the door and it never left. She's 18 now and it is nice reminder that she loves me.

Bad me - I didn't know !  I run around the house in sock feet too.  Just kidding, though.

+Patt Word I'm always in socks in the house (or slippers when it cold). In Canada most people take their shoes off in the house. Most of the kid's Asian friends even leave their shoes outside on the porch if it is protected. I have noticed that in the States most people left left their shoes on. Every culture does things a little different. As far as the necklace goes, that was made from an old tutorial called the Parrot Tulip Bead tutorial.

i'll have to keep my eye out then…yeah, there's probably a reason why they are at a liquidation outlet…lol. thanks!

+g3min1969 I got it at a liquidation store. It works great for the low temps of polymer clay but the one I put in my kitchen melted... probably the reason it was at the liquidation outlet!

+PolymerClayTutor Will do...thank you :-)

+Dawn De Luca Thanks! Go to my site at www.polymerclaytutor.com and type rock tumbler intot the search box there. You'll find all kinds of info there.

+sherry bear Thanks! That is actually a textured paintable wallpaper. It has definitely improved the damaged slanted ceiling.

sorry premo clay

I'll gladly do a swap for some of your sunshine, lol!Mind you this year we've had about two good weeks, so shouldn't complain :-)

+Jennifer A Shepherd LOL I just saw some footage of the British Open in Scotland and a couple of the days were pretty miserable! Sure is pretty and green though... the rain being the price to pay for the beauty. Can usually relate being from British Columbia Canada, but lately we have hit a dry spell and everything is yellow and there are tons of forest fires. We'd love to have your rain... if you'd send us some! :)

+Linda Ketner Agreed! I try and learn something new everyday. Even if it is some tiny thing like a new word or something. Its good for the brain and makes you a more interesting person!

+PichiMagic Thank you! :) Here is the link to more info on the tutorial: //www.beadsandbeading.com/blog/hammered-copper-bookmarks-polymer-clay-tutorial-video/13507/#video

+PolymerClayTutor Ty.

+Buttered Lumps That depends... if you use it to antique a piece like I did and it is sitting in crevices... then no. If it is in an area that might be affected by dirt and oil or will get a lot of scratching on it, then yes. Any polymer clay compatible finish should work fine for protecting this finish, should it need it.

+Coffe Cats Thank you! :)

+Vicki Tomlinson Thanks so much Vicki!! :)

+Rhonda Magee Thanks again. <3

+Brie Minar Thank you! The pigment sticks well when applied to raw clay, but it would be wise to glaze it. :)

Hi +Angela Long yeah the smell is pretty strong. Not so bad if you only do one piece but if you were to do a whole rack of them, it might smell up your kitchen and may not be good for the baby. Use the water based one instead.
