Tips For Doing The Teardrop Skinner Blend Properly - (Polymer Clay Ombre Tutorial)
Whether you call them Skinner Blends, Teardrop Blends or Gradient Blends, if you want to up your polymer clay game, you're probably going to want to master this color blending technique.
Skinner Blends are a polymer clay artist's way to shift one color to the next. Whether you use Premo, Fimo or Sculpey you can use these ombre blends for shading in canes, to create depth and interest to backgrounds and to make polymer clay pieces more beautiful.
There are some tricks that need to be mastered though. In this polymer clay tutorial video I will show you how you need to "stay in your lane" with your colors; and how to avoid bubbles and blur blends that are too stripey. You'll learn a lot of cool things about making a good Teardrop Blend/Skinner Blend/Gradient!

It is larger than the one I have and am wondering if this disk comes with your extruder or if you bought it separately. I don´t have your make of extruder- I have a Makin´s extruder so am looking for a large square disk to use with that. Thanks in advance.

      Hi Aniko, so lovely to hear from you! Still use some of your gorgeous stamps!! Hope you are well. I am happy this tip worked well for you! Because the paint thinner/mineral spirits does gas off over time, it can dry out again, but you can fix it again by adding a little more again. One thing I have learned since filming this video is, you can also add a few drops of glycerine in addition to the thinner. This will slow down the drying out of the thinned Gilders Paste. Hope that helps! Take care, ~Cindy

    I'm making color swatches with labels behind them written in pen ink, but i accidently found out the ink can and most likely will transfer onto other clays if i line them up Infront of each other. I can't wash or alcohol off the ink even with the 90% alcohol. I figured id put archival tape over the labels to prevent the transfers but the one i'm thinking of getting says it's a 'solvent-based acrylic adhesive'. Even with it not actually touching the clay itself since it would be on the label instead, would i still have to worry about the adhesive residue somehow interacting with the clays? Those tapes are too expensive to just pickup and test out on the clay, and then if it doesn't work out i'll be stuck with multiple tapes that i have no use for since my family don't even collect books.... I could try other clear tapes but i know they yellow overtime which is why i wanted the archival types because they advertise themselves as being acid free and non-yellowing.

    Would you recommend using ultra dome UV resin for cylindrical things like pens? I have noticed that the UV resin that i am currently using as a finish for my polymer clay pens has a habit of pulling inward so i am left with areas of my pens that are covered in a thinner amount of resin than other areas of my pens.

    I'm struggling. I don't want to store mine in folders because it will end up being too many of them, because now i'm going to keep a color swatch of every color i ever make (i suck at mixing colors in clays in a short time so better to keep a record so i wont waste time the next time i happen to want to make that color again), but if i make a color swatch for every color then ill end up with too many folders. The only option there is for me is large plastic boxes that i'll section off and keep each swatches lined up in front of each other via color rainbow order. Each of my swatches are only 20mm squares so they wont use up too much space in the box, then ill make cotton fabric box shaped divided holders for them and stack them on top of each other similar to stacking egg trays. The problem is 3 or 4 layers of those clay stacks per box would amount to 21lbs each (i did the math via 2oz polymer clay blocks imagining them instead as loads of tiny clay color swatches). I want the Iris plastic large boxes for scrapbooking but their whole shelves can only hold 33 lbs, whereas the way i want to iuse them would be 120 lbs, each shelve only holds 5 lbs but the way ill use them will end up being 21 lbs per shelf..... 3 boxes for color swatches and 3 for raw clays (I also want to store flat pieces of rolled clay color mixes in plastic sleeves in binders as storage). I figured that id get heavy duty shelves instead to hold the individual iris boxes but i cant find any on amazon that's about the same size as the Iris plastic shelves. Sure i could just stack the iris boxes on top of each other without the use of a shelf, but if the shelves themselves cant hold that weight, i doubt the boxes themselves can hold that pressure piled on top of them. Id love for the heavy-duty metal shelves to look similar to the iris shelves that perfectly fits the boxes snuggly. I'm wondering if anyone know where i can get metal heavy-duty shelves in white that holds the Iris scrapbooking boxes perfectly to size, most likely adjustable? The iris boxes are about 13 x 14 x 3 inches. I've gone over the weight limit before with plastic shelves, don't want to repeat that mistake again because they break and snap pretty easy going over the recommended weight and those box unit shelves are too expensive to repeat that mistake again.

    I mostly use Cernit - it's easiest on my aching hands, nice and squishy. I never have fingerprints because I burnish front and back before baking. I transfer the piece from my work surface to my baking sheet using my blades, not my fingers. If I have to touch a piece, I do so by the edge. Even when pinching the edges of a thick stone piece, I avoid fingerprints.

  • @lindseymercuria3971
    @lindseymercuria3971 Před 2 měsíci

    The Adirondack inks have some kind of oil in them. I rarely wear gloves and my fingers wind up sticky after mixing. This is why it takes alcohol to remove the ink. It also makes sense since polymer clay contains oil, among other ingredients. The alcohol inks have to dry before you blend because water would cause scaling, and oil & wayer don't mix. The pigment oil is perfect for blending into PVC. Rit dye is wayer based so it's not going to yield a good result when thinned out with alcohol. It's a great experiment but I'm going to stick with the Adirondack inks. They're consistent and it's less work.
