    Could you use a picture of the finished project as your thumbnail or show it at the beginning of the video? It would help to know what we are trying to achieve as we watch you.

      pro trick : you can watch movies on Flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.

    I don't remember whether I had commented on this video when I first saw it, but I knew I'd come back one day. Now I'm ready to at least _try_ to duplicate it. I remember you said you were adding the one lengthwise cut, and that's what I'm going to do too. I don't know what it would have looked like otherwise, but your finished work is stunning. I have a lot of Premo here already, so I might stick with that rather than buying Souffle.

    Loved this one. Amazing , especially when you've never attempted it before 🙂. I love the effect, almost like a three dimensional effect.

    I'm new at this but I liked it so much I gave it a try. I can see the swirls but it is primarily MUD. I guess I will have plenty of pieces to wrap with something more colorful. Thanks, I do love it.

    • @Mimismarketva
      @Mimismarketva  Před 5 lety

      Thanks! This is a fun cane to do. AND you'll never get the same design twice. It's always a surprise!

    Such fun! A great idea for using my small amounts of color mixes left over from other projects. Thanks Gayle!

  • @craftyshamrockdesignsbyshe5871

    Thank you so much for your help...I do use a pasta machine, oven thermometer, my pieces have been small like a pendant and earrings...I have read so many conflicting times on baking... I followed the package directions, and also baked for longer at the 275 it said from 15 min to 1 hour all had the same results...with minimal pressure they broke...I will try the clays you suggested this weekend and also watch your videos...thanks again for helping!! I'll let you know my results!! Also loved your exciting news video and cards!!

    • @Mimismarketva
      @Mimismarketva  Před 7 lety +1

      Thanks! If you have done all of these things then it is probably the type of clay you use. Try Premo. You will be much happier! Let me know your results.

  • @ClareCreationsAL
    @ClareCreationsAL Před 7 lety

    I LOVE this cane!! My favorite part is how it is made! Easy and FUN! This cane reminds me of Natasha beads! I'd love to see you make them also. Thank you for sharing!

    • @Mimismarketva
      @Mimismarketva  Před 7 lety

      Thanks! I believe I have shown how to do Natasha Beads on prior videos but not a separate video on them. Maybe I'll get one done soon!

      @Mimismarketva  Před 7 lety +1

      Thank you for watching! I'm glad you like my teaching style. I prefer to make it feel like we're sitting around a craft table working together. Not everyone likes it though. But that's my style.

    Thank for you well explained tutorial I have never done polymer clay I can see that every piece demonstrates your own creation is beautiful but I'm afraid not for me, I have very bad arthritis, but thank you again.

    • @Mimismarketva
      @Mimismarketva  Před 7 lety

      Thanks you for your kind comment. I'm sorry you feel you cannot do polymer clay because of your arthritis. I appreciate you taking the time to watch my video.

  • @natalieh1231
    @natalieh1231 Před 6 lety

    I love this tutorial…I use a similar technique when I start my Natasha beads. I use my scrapes to make Stropple cane variation… someone had done a video chopping up the scrap for it… comes out quite differently. I use black for the base of my cabochons… instead. Of the cane scrapes for that reason.cant wait to do a demo on this. For my SEFPCG… of course giving you credit

    • @Mimismarketva

      I was a charter member of the Orlando Area Polymer Clay Guild (OAPCG) until I moved back to VA. There are so many great clayers in FL but not many in VA! That's why I started doing polymer clay videos!

    • @Mimismarketva
      @Mimismarketva  Před 6 lety +1

      Thanks. I have been working with polymer clay for over 18 years! I've been fortunate enough to have taken classes by some of the polymer clay GREATS - Donna Kato, Judy Belcher, Lindly Haunani, Marla Frankenberg, Lynn Anne Swartzenberg, KLEW, and many more. I was also on the Board of Directors of the National Polymer Clay Guild (now IPCA). When I retired, I invited my mother to come visit me when I lived in Florida. She got sick after about 6 weeks and couldn't come home to VA because she needed 24/7 care. I took care of her in FL for a year and then sold my house and moved back to VA to be near family - and some support! I lost my mother 5 years ago and found that there were not many clayers in Richmond, VA so I turned to CZcams go get my "groove" back. I met someone that was doing some polymer clay tiles. I found out that she really was a decorative painter but liked trying other craft media. She really didn't know a lot about polymer clay so I started giving her hints. She convinced me that I needed to do polymer clay videos. SO - I did! That was in May of 2016. I like to share what I've learned through the years with anyone that is willing to learn. Sadly I've made a few 'enemies' from people that charge for their tutorials. One prominent clay instructor actually threatened me with a lawsuit claiming that I had copied one of her tutorials. Of course the technique she used was not unique to her. I'd seen the same technique from other tutorials but to make her happy I took my video down. Most everyone that is subscribed to my channel is very encouraging and supportive. I'm glad you found me!

    • @marionmathews9852
      @marionmathews9852 Před 6 lety

      Gayle Thompson . Well, I really enjoy watching you and like your thought process. I’m learning such a lot from you and I can’t thank you enough for your entertaining videos. I find it really sad that you’ve made enemies just by sharing your experience freely.

  • @craftyshamrockdesignsbyshe5871

    Hi Gayle, I am new to polymer clay, and your videos and tutorials are great. I've tried a few projects, and am using sculpey III, and my pieces keep breaking, I was wondering if you have any beginner videos that might help. Thanks again for your wonderful tutorials, You are great! Sherl

    • @Mimismarketva
      @Mimismarketva  Před 7 lety +3

      Thanks for watching my videos. Here are 3 basic tips: Stop using Sculpey III. It is very brittle when baked. You would do better with Premo or Souffle. They are very strong when properly cured. Second - make sure your clay is properly conditioned. Even a soft clay needs to be kneaded or run thru a pasta machine in order to mix the clay particles and the plasticizer. Imagine that it is like oil and vinegar. You need to mix everything together. Lastly, use an oven thermometer to make sure you are baking at the proper temperature. Clay must be brought up to the temperature marked on the package. Premo and Souffle are to be baked at 275 degrees. If you follow these 3 things, you will be successful.
      I am doing a How To Series for beginners but I just started and there are only a few posted right now. But if you go back to my very first videos you should get some basic tips and also some projects you might like.
      Let me know how you do!

  • @jomontgomery4261
    @jomontgomery4261 Před 5 lety

    When you have ragged edges ,it makes me crazy with all the pinching and patting of the clay. suggest you learn to edit. It's amazing how well your canes nd projects turn out.

    @ruthkiley6292 Před 6 lety

    Hi Gayle! Can you tell me what brands of clay you use? Thanx

    • @Mimismarketva
      @Mimismarketva  Před 6 lety

      I mainly use Premo. I would prefer Kato but it is not as easily available and is more expensive. Premo is a strong clay when conditioned and cured properly.

  • @lynnkennedy6703
    @lynnkennedy6703 Před 7 lety

    What is your base material for rolling on made of?

    • @Mimismarketva
      @Mimismarketva  Před 7 lety

      If you are talking about my work surface I have two! My main work surface is a glass mat with a grid on it (link below in Description - click SHOW MORE) but because it is clear and has so many lines, it doesn't do well in videos so I placed a large smooth ceramic tile on top of it. When I try to get rid of glare I put a sheet of Mixed Media paper on it. If this doesn't answer your question, please let me know.

  • @katiegarrett1441
    @katiegarrett1441 Před 7 lety

    Can you use embossing plates for texture

    • @Mimismarketva
      @Mimismarketva  Před 7 lety

      I'm not sure I understand when you wanted to use the embossing plates. You can use just about anything for texture. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

    what is your Lucy slicer?

    • @Mimismarketva
      @Mimismarketva  Před 5 lety

      It is a clay slicer designed and sold by Lucy Clay in CZ. They also have a store that serves the US and Canada. Here is the link so you can see it. It's a bit pricey but worth every penny if you have problems slicing consistant or thin slices

      The mini-slicer is cheaper but don't waste your money.

  • @silverguardiancreations2014

    That was awesome I am a newbie at this. Why do you need to bake for an hour and what to you bake you pieces on

    • @Mimismarketva
      @Mimismarketva  Před 7 lety

      Thanks for your interest in my tutorials. If you are like I was, you will be completely addicted to clay before long! I bake my pieces for an hour because it makes it stronger. I use Premo or Kato clay and both are great clays. Be sure to always bake at the recommended temperature for your clay. The clay package usually says to bake for 15 minutes per 1/4" of thickness. That is a minimum baking time. The longer you bake (at the recommended temperature) the stronger it will be. Hope this helps.
