To help your clay release from your butterfly cookie cutter instead of corn starch use plastic wrap on top of the clay. Press down on your cookie cutter on the plastic wrap which is on the clay and you will maintain your design and the clay won’t stick.
You just make my day, you make me giggle!!! I love how you think and don't give up on other ways to achieve different outcomes🎉. You are in our thoughts since you have had your new knees and are going through the healing process let alone some jerk rear ending you leaving you in more pain!!! Healing thoughts and blessings❣
I just love those fairies and you are the best teacher. You have great ideas. If I can figure out how to do shoulders and arms, I will get a mold or whatever I find for you too.
I've just found you after learning to work with air dry clay for art therapy. I think you are brilliant and look forward to trying some of your projects.
I love watching your creative process. New Sub 🧚 Nothing better than seeing an artist in the studio imo. Very inspired and can’t wait to watch all of your videos.
Brilliantly detailed as always. Your fairies remind me of Fuchsias, they would be great with some dangling legs too.....very fiddly diddly. Hours of fun to be had ❤️
Hello. I just stumbled upon your CZcams channel. I am a potter myself and also teach pottery courses. These are really magical fairies. Well done. I have a little tip for you if you cut out clay with cookie cutters. What I use to achieve a clean cut and edge is a simple and efficient method so that the clay doesn't get stuck in the cookie cutter. I always place some thin plastic wrap over the rolled out clay before using the cookie cutter. You can use a thin shopping bag, for excample. Unfortunately, this method doesn't work if you use a texture roller beforehand. The pressure you put on the plastic film with the cutter will of course blur the stamped pattern. You can always put a pattern on after anyway ;) Maybe this could be an idea for you and you'll might give it a try. All the best to you. Keep up the great work! A kindred spirit potter from Germany :)
Thank you. I've used plastic before but always forget, lol. So great that my videos have reached Germany. It's a country I've always wanted to visit as my husband has ancestry there.
If you always put thin plastic wrap over the clay then press down the cookie cutter… you’ll be able to release and have rounded edges every time!! Love your angels!,❤
I swear you are so like myself or vice versa. I could literally live on this earth alone and do my own thing forever. I simply am so preoccupied creating things and have got to keep busy. Besides I bug people with all my crazy habits. Oh well! I just found your tutorials and they keep me sitting for a little while. Your talent is because of your love of nature and a God given talent! Thanks for the fun! Your humor made me laugh out loud in delight! Keep creating, your amazingly talented!
Your fairies are super cute! I bet they would be great with dragonfly wings also. You are so funny! I love your crazy brain. I hope you're recuperating well!
Love the updated fairy! The only thing I could see or didn’t see is texture on the front of her wings. (Just a question about something else. Are you going to do a tutorial for the ). Thanks, I’m in love with your work. Just awesome!
put you onto full screen just as you lifted up the 2nd ladybug holding fairy and she is pretty, thanks for sharing as always, agree about the fairy bride, prefer the ladybug x
I love these fairies but out of curiosity did you make that little tool box on your table, I just love it and every video I watch I end up just staring at it. It’s gorgeous and would you ever do a video on one of those if it is made from clay.
A fairy without arms makes me anxious. How can she find nutrients? Her wings get her around, but she needs those arms ( sure, hide the hands), to get something into her mouth. I'm given to questions like these...that is why I am considered anxious. Tiffany is my clay guru.
Love your videos Tiffany. Been watching for some time now. I don’t often leave comments as I watch from my tv so comments are hard :) but I hope you are recovering from your surgery well. I just love your butterfly rolling pin. Can you share a link to it? I’d love to add it to my Christmas wish list :) Thanks and happy potting :)
I see Vaughn Smith used glad wrap to stop clay clogging his rolling pins. I wonder if you could use glad wrap on the clay and press your beautiful butterfly cutter onto clay? Oh I see many other have also made this suggestion. Thanks - you present such enjoyable content.
Hi Tiffany I am also made about fairies these are amazing. I haven’t got a kiln yet, hopefully next spring. Would it be possible to do these with air dry clay (das) thanks jane 😊🇬🇧❤️
Hi. You are very easy to listen to and understand. I don’t have a way to process the clay so I use air Dry clay, would it work on the fairy.? 😊 ❤ Linda
Thank you. I keep thinking your fairy’s head should be a bit larger and maybe have her hair flip up and to the side a little. But that’s my vision. ENJOY making YOUR FAIRIES!!!✨🦋✨🦋✨🦋✨
Sunday morning 6:30, a cup of coffee and fairies to start my day. Does is get any better? 😀 Love a peek into your mind, mine works very similar and no, never to much hippie. 😉 When you were fiddling with her 'flat chest' I was saying to the screen; "flip over that half flower and make it into the top of her strapless dress!" lol Hope to see you dancing around the studio soon! xx Monique
I too use Saran Wrap between the cookie cutter and the clay, it leaves a nice soft edge on the clay. Thank you for sharing the fairy! You might also use the top half of a two smaller hearts for a bodice.
@@patriciaoswalt6464 Love the idea of 2 hearts! I've used plastic wrap before. It's hit and miss for me. Sometimes I don't like how it flattens the design on the edges. But I do like the ease in smoothing one edge. Thanks for watching.
My Mom had both her knees replaced, and was able to continue square dancing for many years after! I remember going to the hospital to visit her after she woke from surgery, and she flipped back the covers and said (while still very high on morphine) "Look! They touch!"
Lol! You're mom sounds like a hoot. My mom has had 3 knee replacements in 20 years and she commercial fishes on the Bering Sea of Alaska, so my expectations are high. Just need the recovery and physical therapy to not take so long. Thanks for watching.
@rokoroo LOL! Love that one. I had my first in March, and that gets a reconstruction on Nov 30th since that doctor messed it up. My 2nd was Oct 12th. So, while my mom had 3 in 20 years, I get 3 in one year. Ugh. I'll have to share that with my kids. They'll love saying I've replaced my 3 knees. 😀
@@hobblecreekpottery thank you. I take pottery class, 6 weeks at a time, 3 times a year. I love it so much. Wish I could find someone like you around here. Love your pottery, I'm going to try to copy some.
I think arms would be good if shoulders and elbows are more defined. Love the roller for the butterfly wings- so pretty. Like the idea here in comments to have design on both sides. You look too young to have needed bilateral knee replacements!!
Ma sei bravissima e molto fantasiosa, amo la tua arte, mi spiace però non capire quello che dici perché non c'è la traduzione in italiano, ti seguo solo ma non so' che materiale usi per i tuoi lavori,
Hi Tiffany, lovely video, such a good idea to feed us addicts with videos while your recovering 😃. May I suggest an option for people to donate to you for watching your videos? I know people can buy your things but I'm in England so makes it difficult for pottery pieces. I wonder if you had this option and mentioned it on your videos that you are going to try this option rather than having adverts and see what the response is? I would love to contribute to you and nit have adverts spoil it. I've had to stop my subscription to someone who out up their prices and all I could see was lots of advertising really so I'm thrilled to have found you. Thanks again for all you do😃
So glad you found me! I have relatives in Oxford and my family tree hails from Wales and Scotland. I'm not one to ask for donations, it's just not in me, and the only way to make all the work of editing/equipment/videoing worthwhile is to monetize the channel. Plus, there are so many people wanting to learn pottery but can't financially afford to take classes or purchase the expensive equipment to make doing pottery possible. Hopefully CZcams choses ads that you can skip through. CZcams controls what ads they put on the videos and I hope they don't go crazy. It's hard to make everyone happy, but I think if you subscribe to CZcams, like a cable channel, you don't have to see ads. I'm not totally sure about that, but it might be worth looking into. Thank you for reaching out and I hope you can get your hands dirty in the clay today.
@@hobblecreekpottery yeah I see your point totally. I'm the same with money and have made a useless business woman in the past😏. Keep up the great work and speedy recovery. 🍾😃
I really appreciated watching you create your garden fairy. The hair you gave her was a hoot! I suppose this reads like a fault, but no harm, no foul. She looks like a modern version of a classic version of an SNL cone head...she sports a penis head. I am an avid fan of your channel. Hope I did not offend you.

@@hobblecreekpottery Your Welcome! Hope your feeling better 🩵
You and I are a lot alike in our approach. I throw on the wheel, but when I hand build, it’s all whimsical and fun. Great video!
Yes! Great minds. 😀
That is a fabulous fairy. I love those wings!
You very detailed as am I. I use a lot flowers in my work. I'm still crawling in this vast worl of modeling. I loved this class of angels! Hugs!😊😊😊
Much better than the first one. Soooo cute yay!!!
Brilliantly detailed as always. Your fairies remind me of Fuchsias, they would be great with some dangling legs too.....very fiddly diddly. Hours of fun to be had ❤️
Soooo many hours! Thank you for watching and I love the idea of dangling legs.
Merci excellente journée ❤️
I love the way you talk throughout the video, it really brings me into your studio.
Ahh, thanks. It's like you guys are there with me too.
PS thank you so much for sharing your art with the world!
Love the fairies. I bought the rolling pin for butterfly wings! Thanks for being such a great teacher.
Love the second one's bodice. I think it would look really pretty if you stamped both sides of the butterfly wings.
I thought the same thing, and doubled down about stamping both sides of the wings
Brilliant tutorial. To release clay from a detailed cutter I spray the cutter with some cooking oil. It makes it easier to do.

Suggestion: when stamping, spread plastic film over the clay, it doesn't stick and the stay in a beatiful shape, try it!😊😊😊
If you always put thin plastic wrap over the clay then press down the cookie cutter… you’ll be able to release and have rounded edges every time!! Love your angels!,❤
You crack me up! Everything works for you because you always make it fun!

Ahhh, thank you sooo much for your lovely comments. Yes, I need to stay busy. It's safer for everyone around me, lol.
Bought from there too....use oil liberally.. Saran wrap may also work
I push clay through a tea strainer or sive to make hair. Love the fairy. Thank you for sharing 😇🙏
Your fairies are super cute! I bet they would be great with dragonfly wings also. You are so funny! I love your crazy brain. I hope you're recuperating well!
Lol, crazy brain is the perfect description. I love the idea of dragonfly wings. I need to get better fast so I can try that. Thank you!
Love the updated fairy! The only thing I could see or didn’t see is texture on the front of her wings. (Just a question about something else. Are you going to do a tutorial for the ). Thanks, I’m in love with your work. Just awesome!
Great idea to add texture to the front of her wings. Also which tutorial were you hoping I'd do?
put you onto full screen just as you lifted up the 2nd ladybug holding fairy and she is pretty, thanks for sharing as always, agree about the fairy bride, prefer the ladybug x
Thank you for your great videos 🙏💫🦋
Sweet. Could you put texture on both sides of the wings for more visual, textural, interest?
Linda!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟
Simply Gorjuss ❤️❤️❤️
Muy bonito .Muchas grácias.
Love fairies ❤
Bien!!!.Gracias ...
Try using oil and make sure the sides are well oiled. You could also try using flour or baby powder on a dry form.
I love these fairies but out of curiosity did you make that little tool box on your table, I just love it and every video I watch I end up just staring at it. It’s gorgeous and would you ever do a video on one of those if it is made from clay.
I'll add it to my list. You aren't the first who had asked. 😀
@@hobblecreekpottery oh thank you. Have a lovely day.
Hi, love your fairies. The arms look okay. I have the same problem with limbs. I can't wait to have a go at making a fairy ... without arms 🙂
A fairy without arms makes me anxious. How can she find nutrients? Her wings get her around, but she needs those arms ( sure, hide the hands), to get something into her mouth. I'm given to questions like these...that is why I am considered anxious. Tiffany is my clay guru.
I love the fairy.
Lindas! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌟🌟🌟😍😍😍

great job! what size butterfly cookie cutter are you using for the wings? tia
I believe it's 4 inches wide.
Very cute!
Thank you! 😊
Try useing a blob of dough to pull up the dough from the cutter or shape this worked for playdough wf granddaughter
Bonjour magnifique vos créations, félicitations, merci pour votre partage.
Merci beaucoup 😊
Sorry for the lateness of my response. If you leave part of the clay on the outside of the cutter and pull it out gently, it should release.
I think that you should consider using dragonfly wings instead of butterfly wings for your fairy. You can buy dragonfly cookie cutters.
I see Vaughn Smith used glad wrap to stop clay clogging his rolling pins. I wonder if you could use glad wrap on the clay and press your beautiful butterfly cutter onto clay?
Oh I see many other have also made this suggestion.

I'm from Brazil and I will make similar ones, inspired by your beatiful! 🥰🥰🥰🌟🌟🌟

I have been watching your channel this week. but today I had to subscribe to an elemental sister.
Ahh, thank you, and welcome, sis. 😀
So cute 🤩 🧚♀️
Thank you 🤗
Hi Tiffany I am also made about fairies these are amazing. I haven’t got a kiln yet, hopefully next spring. Would it be possible to do these with air dry clay (das) thanks jane 😊🇬🇧❤️
I would definitely try. You might need an armature like aluminum foil.
Hi. You are very easy to listen to and understand. I don’t have a way to process the clay so I use air Dry clay, would it work on the fairy.? 😊 ❤ Linda
You might need an armature when building it, but I believe it would. Good luck.

Lol, love that you get me. What a great idea! I know I'll be making a lot more. She was too much fun.
Love the back but the hair kills me. I would have done arms with the smaller heart cutter. I do love her though. :)
Do I need to hollow the head before firing the piece?
Depending on the size. If the head is about the size of a grape, you'll be fine. Just make sure to give it enough time to completely dry. Good luck!
Try putting plastic on your clay and cut on top of the plastic. Works for me
I too use Saran Wrap between the cookie cutter and the clay, it leaves a nice soft edge on the clay. Thank you for sharing the fairy! You might also use the top half of a two smaller hearts for a bodice.

Bmix fired to cone 5/6. I haven't had any issues with it left outside even in the winter.
