  • These are my top four (almost 5) clay sculpting tricks. I use Sculpey polymer clay, but these techniques are not limited to that particular clay.
    - DIY SCALES & FEATHERS
    - SUBTRACTIVE SCULPTING
    - TEXTURE SAMPLING
    - SMOOTHING (& "WELDING").

    I meant absolutely no offense by including "the Government" in the video's title. That was just some silly mess. You know those video titles... "Top 5 House Hacks the Electric Company Does NOT Want You To Know (Number 3 made me have to go outside.)".
    I want to apologize to all the government employees I have upset. Never would I have imagined so many DID want to know these tricks.

  • @rubbergigantor6877
    @rubbergigantor6877 Před 4 lety +17

    Crafsman! This is a great tutorial as always! You can also use Vaseline to smooth and even in place of sculpey softener. Also, after you bake a piece you can brush on Vaseline, wipe the excess off with a paper towel and then add more sculpey to it. It'll stick to the original sculpey like glue! I use this technique after I bake the form I want so I can then add details without messing up the sculpture.

    • @Brickerbrack

    Oh the creatures, oh the helpful tips... every last bit of this is fabulous. I don't have a boombox anymore and wish I did.
