Loving the pieces you made, Sarah, & your info & inspired packed video. Thank you.
Thank you so much, YES, after there being endless possibilities…here come even more possibilities 😁❤️
@@RedRockingBird lol, absolutely 😂

Thank you 😊🐦
I love your little birdie!
Thank you 😊 🐦❤️
Great comparison video. Many thanks for sharing xx
Thanks 😊 hopefully gives an insight to the wood clay
Looks like fun. You are very ingenious. Lovely 😍
Thank you 🤗 definitely fun
I love this, going to have to try it out. I love the little beads you make, so cute. ❤❤
They’d look lovely painted too and so good we can make them any shape and size we like, thank you 😊❤️
Very curious. Never saw this, but would like to try it. Thank you for this video and your testing to show us.
Blessings 🤗🦋
A bit different isn’t it? Slightly harder to work with when wet maybe but once dry I absolutely love the DAS wood properties ❤️ thank you
This is probably stupid to say, but I absolutely love the wooden side table you showed.
Thank you, not stupid at all, it’s pretty old, was my husband’s grandma’s, I sanded it down as it was darker and was going to paint it but decided it’s just lovely the way it is, you’d hate it if I painted it wouldn’t you? 🙈 Thanks 😊
Thank you for showing us the properties of this clay. I saw it in Hobby Lobby the other day and wondered what it was like.
Thank you and good to know you can get it in Hobby Lobby, here in the UK we have ‘Hobby Craft’ 😊 Hopefully this gave you a good insight. Question is will you try it? ❤️
It can also be purchased in Blick (Dick Blick) stores
Ever since I saw this being announced by DAS on Instagram (I even tagged you:)) I’ve been looking forward to watching a video of yours! Thank you so much for the feedback on this new clay!
Unfortunately I cannot find it on Amazon Spain yet (where I purchase from).
YES…thank you, hopefully available in Spain soon 🤞❤️😊 I LOVE it, hope it won’t disappoint ❤️
This is just the right time for this video! I was thinking by using this wood clay but I was totaly unsecure. No I am not anymore. Thank you. And yes, please more videos with this clay.
Good to hear you have seen the clay and now you’d like to use it, yay 😀 What will you make? Thanks
That was fab to watch. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed, thank you 😊❤️
Thank you for the video, you're very thorough and inspiring.
You are so welcome, thank you for watching 😁
Thank you for this tutorial. You are very thorough.
Thank you, I try to be 😊❤️
So exciting! Thanks for showing us🌹
Thanks for watching, it’s my pleasure 😊❤️
What?! Wood air dry clay?! Yes please!! Such great ideas! Oh yes you did inspire me. My mind is racing with thoughts of using this. Thank you!❤❤❤
Wonderful, good to hear the inspiration is coming through , enjoy 😊❤️🪵 thank you
Lots of fun additions to furniture,and i could see making some frames or bases and incorporating it with some of felted creations, maybe carved horns or something, cute wooden moths, bunch of ideas 💖
So many ideas, I love all you mention and that is exactly what I hope for…the spark of inspiration. Thank you, more coming soon too ❤️😊
@@RedRockingBird can't wait to see what else you have coming! and you do always inspire 💖
@@jessicadanielson4543 amazing, thanks 🤩❤️
Very informative, helpful to someone relatively new to using clay
Good to know thank you 😊
I'm really pleased you made this video, as I've been wanting to add clay art to a set of draws, never been to sure on what type to use
Oooo fab well I wish you luck with your project, definitely a product to try, you can use wood glue or strong white glue alongside this for you ideas if need be ❤️😊 thanks
So much fun to watch. Thank you for all of the great tests. Gives us loads of information to help with our craft art decisions. So many ideas generated but you asked about the little bird. I think it would be cool to design a tree out of the clay (flat on one side) with lots of branches and add all kinds of different birds in shapes and sizes. You could wrap it up around the top of a door. Could be an actual front door of a home or as a fairy cottage door. Thank you again.
This would be a great product for fairy houses and I love the ideas you have…very creative ☺️ Glad you enjoyed and that it was useful, thank you
The little bird is adorable!
Thank you, I’ll be making more
That's fascinating and I'm so excited about the strength test. I'd love to have a play with this. ❤
Most definitely, I’m going to be doing lots more with this, it works differently when wet but the properties once dry are just AMAZING, thanks ❤️😊
I will have to try this. Thank you for the tutorial.
@@sherryedwards5978 you’re very welcome, I hope you love it as much as I do ❤️
It definitely looks a bit more difficult to work with. I love all the creatures you made with it though! So inspiring!! ❤
It is but you get used to it and I love the properties once dry 😊❤️
Very interesting - thankyou!
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you 😊
Your projects are Always Beautiful❤❤ I had no clue that Das made glue!! Thank You as Always you brighten my spirit❤
Aw lovely, thank you for your lovely comment, from what I can tell DAS glue is the same as most white glues 😊❤️ have a wonderful day
@@RedRockingBird ty❤
This clay looks like such fun, I can’t wait to try it! I think ill rey to make a necklace holder with it! 😁❤️👍🏻
I like it a lot, it’s quite different to work with as you can see but when dry is so much stronger, I can’t wait to do more projects with it. Thanks Wendy and enjoy ❤️⭐️
Nice alternative to foam clay 👌
Definitely yes, very different too 😊
Wow I didn’t even know this existed 😮thank you, really helpful video and lovely projects as always x
New product and just released here in the UK, I’ve seen it’s been available in the US too a little while. Glad you enjoyed and thank you for being a fan, much appreciated 😁❤️
@@RedRockingBird I managed to get hold of some from Hobbycraft and had a play today. Very different from the normal clay, found it a bit drier and the smell a bit odd, but once I got used to it thought it was good. Had a go at the little bird you shown, so hopefully I'll be able to paint it in a few days 🐦
@@MrsKateT wonderful, I’m sure once it’s completely dry you’ll love how robust it is, then knowing how it behaved you can hopefully do more projects to its strengths, enjoy and thank you for sharing your thoughts 😊❤️
As far as the piece that broke off, maybe having a little amount of wood glue/clay/water mixture to use as slip to attach the pieces together before they dry will work. If a piece breaks off after it’s dry, wood glue should do nicely as a fixative.
Yes wood glue or the DAS white glue works great at fixing it back together, I just made this piece to show you that it’s better for form/mold/sculpt the clay into a shape rather than attach it together with the score and slip method that I show in my regular air dry clay videos, so I wouldn’t therefore make a slab pot from DAS wood as the joints are not as strong, thank you, have you tried this clay yet? ❤️😊
I love this clay! So many ideas 🖤
Have you tried it? Thanks 😊❤️
I have not. This is the first time I’ve seen this product. I will definitely order it when I find some.@@RedRockingBird
@@PrincessScary well that makes me even more happy that you say you love it after me showing it you, yay, happy crafting 😊❤️
This DAS wood clay looks to be a better quality than another brand I saw on another channel. I’d like to try it. Thinking of building a little haunted house decoration out of clay, or faux old-style wooden Christmas ornaments. Thank you for the vid. I would’ve have bothered trying this product if you hadn’t reviewed it! ❤️
Sounds wonderful, takes a little more getting used to but I’ve not had it crack on me yet, and then once dry I love it’s properties, I’ll be making lots more, thank you and enjoy
How awesome
I know, I love it when a new product is out, thanks 😊
Thank you! I’ve never seen any but I’ve heard about it. Say I use it in a mould to apply to frame while wet( I have withe regular air dry clay) will it crack and fall off? Or am I getting ahead of your instructions 😂? I absolutely love your pieces but that bird has my heart. 💜. The whale is pretty fantastic too. 😊❤
Hi Margaret, oh you’re just the BEST. I would mould the clay, leaving it to dry on the frame so that it dries in the right shape, then once fully dried I would add some white glue, like in the video and then let it dry, I hope that helps and you agree. So far I have not had this clay crack on me, so it’s a real winner from that point of view. I’m going to have to make more of the little birds and every time I make something my mind always veers towards birds 🐦🙈😂😆❤️ thank you
thanks for a wonderful video. where did you get your rolling pin with those side ridges which help roll out even sheets! I think I need one!!!
the one I have is the DAS one, or anything like these: amzn.to/3RfmePp
Oh wow, fantastic didn’t even know this clay existed. Thank you so much 😊
Thank you, hopefully make another video using the DAS wood 🪵⭐️
❤❤
Thanks for watching ❤️😊
Very informative video! This looks a very interesting product. I've used something years ago from the company that makes Hearty clay. The wood chips were too big and the finished project didn't look nice. This, however, looks very promising. Do you know when this will be available in the UK?
Thank you. As always DAS will have put so much good research and development into this product and it shows, hobbycraft now stocking it. Will you be getting some? 😊
@RedRockingBird I've used all the 3 colour clays from Das at the moment, so yes I'll definitely be having a go at the Das Wood. Hobbycraft didn't have it in my local store this week, but hopefully they'll have it in store soon. It looks like this version of Das looks far more robust than their other clays. Perfect for some many applications. Thank you for the great video. 😀
@@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts it’s on the website now, definitely so many applications, I hope you get hold of some soon ❤️😊
@@RedRockingBird I certainly will!
@@MixedMediaArtsAndCrafts 😊❤️
Can’t wait to try this! I just made 77 Daisies (out of the white clay) for a 3D border in my Bathroom. I may have to do them again now 😹
Oh wow Mandy, that’s dedication…77. I hope you are sealing them really well for your bathroom 😁🌼
@@RedRockingBird Yep, Non-Yellowing Yacht Varnish. I figured if it keeps boats dry …..
@@Mandola-Jane definitely, always a fan of polyurethane and mine says suitable for yachts too ☺️ ❤️
@@RedRockingBird Perfect! I live in a 100 yr old fisherman's cottage in a tiny harbour in Ireland. We should put our yacht varnished creations to a proper test 😹
@@Mandola-Jane sounds gorgeous, I hope everything is still holding up well 😂
Good evening, thank you for your videos, I am completely new to working with clay. Can you also drill a hole in the (regular) Das clay with a mini drill? Thanks in advance for answers, love from the Netherlands 💜
Yes you sure can, it's a little easier in the regular clay too, and I do this often, happy crafting, thanks, any others questions please do ask, plenty of inspiration over here on my channel czcams.com/play/PLTZIfLyvDtql7y1SKF84Jz-n8Upx5UwuO.html
Great video! I will definitely try this Das Wood clay! If I can’t find the Das glue , what kind of glue should I use? Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, enjoy, it’s basically the same as any white craft glue, here in the UK we call it PVA 😊
Ok thank you!
i few days ago i got the das stone and das white type, my first time trying this modeling, and when i see website of das i noticed the wood hehe sadly the store i got it didnt have the wood type tho but id love to try it too :D but my closest web store for ordering home only has Cernit Varnish brand not sure how it works with das clay tho :D
Super, how are you finding working with the stone and the white?
I like the wood, some people don’t but it’s light and robust, I will be doing more with it on here. I have not seen cernit air dry clay, I see they do polymer clay, so I can’t comment sorry as I’ve never used it 😊 happy crafting
@@RedRockingBird an not sure, i have not tried yet but soon ☺ yes the wood looks really nice, looking forward watching more with it 😊 oh i see hehe its ok, thank you ☺
@@StigDesign have fun with your creations
Am very excited to try this but doesn’t seem available anywhere! Love the little birds 🥰
Have you googled it? Where are you? Thanks, new here this week in the UK ❤️❤️❤️
@@RedRockingBird I have googled it, I’m in the UK. On eBay but £24 postage! I’ll keep checking 🤞🏻 thanks 😊
@@moirawhite8042 hobby craft 👍❤️
@@RedRockingBird thanks🙂not near me though yet. I will have to be patient unless I pay as much again in postage 🙁
@@moirawhite8042 maybe something to purchase when you have more things to order, worth the wait ☺️
Random question but would you know if this wood clay would take wood stain in a similar way a wood-filler would?
It’s porous so does stain yes
How durable is the result, please? And do you know if it want be attached onto air dry clay, please? ❤Thank you kindly!
Did you see the drop test in this video?
I’ve not actually tried attaching the 2 together, possibly, thank you
@@RedRockingBird Yes, I did.But I was more wondering about thin, smaller things. 😊Like the ears of a cat, or a thin christmas tree Ornament. ✨
I’ll be doing more for videos soon, thanks
I've commented below but I went out to try to purchase it and can't seem to find anyone that sells it here (USA). Didn't appear to be on Amazon. Can you provide a source please? Thank you.
Someone on here commented that they had seen it in Hobby Lobby, do you have one of those stores near you? It’s a new product so just coming out here in the UK too. I googled it and found it in a US store I’d not heard of too, so in places other than Amazon 👍
Thanks for the quick reply. I have a HobbyLobby less than 5 miles from home but it only currently has the DAS white, stone and terra cotta. I think I may have found a source though after some more hunting. Thank you again.
@@timeenuf4200 super, please let us know where you can purchase in the US, might help a few others out 😁❤️
Just got an email back from Dick Blick's - one of their buyers took a look at your video and they are taking the steps to put this product in their catalogue. It could take anything from a few weeks to several months but they encouraged me to keep checking back. I expect our local stores like Michaels Arts & Crafts, JoAnnes, and Hobby Lobby will provide it at some time too but all three are notorious for moving slow on new things.
@@timeenuf4200 wonderful and thank you for sharing this with me and all of us here reading, 🤞for you 😊❤️
I had bought this in hopes to use it to make tiny clay birds. It is NOT useful for that. Attaching the wings isnt going to work and the cracking is too much for small pieces. Very disappointed. After watching your video i will be trying something else with it as I do now own it and dont want to waste it. I will probably never buy it again.
It is quite different than air dry clay but I like it’s unique properties and the fact that it is light weight in comparison, but yes not for every project as it is wood fibres, I hope you enjoy what you next choose to create with it, thank you for watching and sharing your experiences with us 🦜
Interesting, but I don’t see the benefits for me right now. I’ll stick to the traditional clay. Thank you for the video!
thank you for watching, yes of course not for everyone, good to know it's there, have a great week
