I am always amazed at how terrible the process looks - like I can't imagine this looking good. Then all of a sudden you are done and the piece is just the coolest thing ever! Amazing!
Your soft voice, the noises and the atmosphere of the video is an ASMR trigger for me. I could listen to this over and over again. I'm not too good with handcrafts like this, but I may give it a try after seeing this. :)
Amazing! Dragon family, here, but never realized there was something like this out there! Guessing that my husband and son are about to become dragon-rich! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks! It's nice to see how other people do them and get different ideas. I love the use of paper for the skin texture and how you do the spikes. Can't wait for part 2! I'm curious to see why you use the one with alcohol ink if you are going to paint over it.
Thanks Sally. I sometimes use the different colours just to help me add variety, but you certainly could do it in one colour and paint as needed. There are no rules! :D
😎These are great! Thank you so much for sharing your skills and giving me such inspiration to create my own pieces! I can’t wait to try making one of these😍✌️🇨🇦
Hello Patricia. I very much like this piece and also the mica mash cane!!! I work in a medium that is similar to and different from poly clay. In my latest video, the inspiration was from your work. You received credit in the beginning of my video. I also very much like your beta fish. Thank you very much my dear, you do good work. Blessings. Namaste.
Hi Patricia! I've been watching your work with Polymer clay. You are one of the best out there for sure! Your work is impeccable!! No rough edges, everything is cut and placed so beautifully. No uneven thickness in your snakes, etc. I recently bought my first pack of Premo 18 carat gold. What is the advantage to using this, vs. painting something gold? And for that matter, why not use all gray or white and paint everything? I refer to any pieces, not just this sculpture.
Thanks Maggie, actually there is no advantage to using coloured clay or painting your pieces, except that coloured clay will never wear off, and painted surfaces can. Really, it's a personal preference, and both ways have their advantages, and disadvantages. People often find the metallic clays are not bright enough, and will add metallic paint to enhance the effect. Just use what you like, the paints, or clay is just a tool to realize your vision. Have fun!
Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly! So far I have only used white or gray and paint everything and have had pretty good success. I posted one of my 8x10 Journal covers (Dragon Flye with cattails) at your FB Page. It was all grey clay and all hand painted. But yes, paint can chip/wear off. I'm looking forward to watching more of your tutorials. You are very pleasant to listen to and again, your work is just impeccable! Wish you the very best!
Dear Patricia :) I made this pendant some 2 years ago, it turned out very nice and soon somebody grabbed it :) Now I'm trying to recreated it - I don't remember what I did to the back.... How did your back of the pendant turn out after firstly texturing the back, then pressing crumpled paper onto the front, roler and being attached quite firmly to the tile (I get uneaven smoothing) ? Or did you have to glue (?) another texture layer to the back and bake ? I do hope you'll be able to come back to polymer clay, even if I admire your felt creatures sooo very much ! You're not only a talented artist in everything you do but also you're one of the best tutors on YT, and that's not easy to find
I love these. Never have worked with clay but have been wanting to for awhile now. Don't even know where to begin. Also, I can't help but notice the ring on your left middle finger. Love that, too. How did you make the ring?
New subscriber here! Are you working on a tile? If so, that’s a great idea. I’ve been looking for something that is easy to keep clean after crafting. I really like this dragon eye pendant. I will have to give it a try. I even shared this video with a crafty friend of mine. About how long does it take for the alcohol ink to dry?
Hola. Quería preguntarte si no se estropea la pintura (esmalte de uñas?) que has utilizado para pintar el ojo cuando cueces la pieza en el horno.Muchas gracias
I have a Black and Decker convection oven, which I usually set for 1 hour 6 min, . I put my pieces in the cold oven ( almost always ) My oven turns off automatically. Sometimes I leave them in to cool- sometimes I take them out right away. I haven't noticed a difference either way. If I'm doing a bracelet I like to take them out while still hot, because I sometimes will shape them to my wrist as they cool. Or get a shape I like and hold it in cold water to help it keep that shape. Anything with glass, though must cool down on it's own to avoid cracking
You are amazing ! I love your hard work. When you say foil around it do you mean you cover it? When you bake it? Sorry I am trying to find a craft. I may be able to do. What other crafts do you do with those beautiful hands?
Laura Legge , yes I like to cover my work with an aluminum baking tin. I cut the sides so I can arch it over my work, useful when you have taller pieces to cover. I used to paint, wood carve, stained glass and lately needle felt
Very cool! Can't wait to see more by you! :) I tried sculpy clay to may a mermaid and while she turned out awesome, her hair pieces popped off. Is there something I can do to keep that from happening when using oven bake clay?
Thank you for your comment Heather, If you use a stronger clay, such as Premo, Fimo or Kato, it should help with the breakage problem. SculpeyIII is quite brittle after baking. Any clay that you use should be cured at the correct temperature for that clay- you will need an oven thermometer to be sure! I cure my pieces for much longer than recommended because I find that they become a bit flexible, and much less likely to break. ! hour at the correct temperature does wonders! Hope that helps
Your oven is probably baking too hot, an oven thermometer will tell you the actual temperature. If you bake at the correct temperature, you can bake it as long as you want too without burning. Not all ovens are so reliable though. I just find a longer bake time results in a stronger product- but you need to be sure that the temperature is correct- can't trust the oven
I use an Atlas pasta machine, and really it's a great machine! I bought the cheaper one at Micheals when I first started and it didn't last a week. So in this case, cheaper is false economy
do you sell them and if you do what's the website because this is the most interesting and incredible thing I've seen and I'd love to have one because I mean who wouldn't!!!
Thank you Kiana, if you like you could contact me on Facebook Pat's WearableArt facebook.com/PatRobertsThompson?ref=hl . I do sell a few pieces from there. The cost of the Dragon Eye pendant is $30..00 plus $15.00 shipping ( Canadian Funds )
Thank you for you comment! I bought my set on Ebay- look up Boot-lace ferrules. It was a set of 400 in different sizes. I thought it was a lot, but as I reshape them, I'm using quite a few! Amazon also sells them
Patricia Roberts-Thompson I guess I don't mind if I get a bunch of them as long as they are different sizes so I can have whatever shape I want. I haven't looked for that term yet.. Just insulated so thanks for that tip!
Hi, quick question, when you go to bake the eye how to you remove it from the tile without messing up the shape? Just found this tutorial and am currently working on my own.
stringsmom67 , you can use your blade part way under the clay then again from the other side until it comes free of the tile. Or just bake it on the tile without disturbing the piece and add another layer to the back. That works well if you want to sandwich a bail between the two layers. Add liquid clay between the layers and texture the back slightly, it makes it stick less to your skin so it’s more comfortable
@@patriciaroberts-thompson Thank you! I am currently working on my second one! Another question I have is what sizes are your circle cutters? I think mine are smaller. I am trying to get the sizes down better.
Hi i was just wondering if it would be possible to get a list of all the materials and tools that you used to make this pendant from both this video and part two. Thank you.
There is a CC ( closed captioning ) button on the video, if you use it everything I say is transcribed. So all the materials are described as I go along. Too many to list here, but both Part one and Part two have closed captioning. Hope that helps
hallo Patricia, sorry but i vom from Germany and i couldn't understant, if by the end this musst backing. Could you me please write this? How long and which temperatur. My english isn't so good, that i understand your text in the video. Thanks for your answer. Its all verry fine, what you createt
I'm not quite sure what tool you are referring to, unless it is my tissue blade ( clay blade ) the I used after rotting the texture onto the sheet of clay. You just slide it between the clay and the tile to lift the sheet
how much are they and how much are they to the us? I buy things from Canada all the time from Ebay.. maybe they have discounts on shipping through sellers and you could just do a set "buy it now " price .. just saying.. I want one too :) "and I'm pretty crafty but I don't have time to learn all of these different skills and get good at each of them.. lol :) So yeah, I love your art work !
My son really loves your videos

I ALSO DO DRAGON EYES.... BUT I AM SO GLAD TO FIND YOUR VIDEO....I NOW HAVE A BETTER DRAGON EYE...TY
Thanks Kassie, I'm so glad you found it useful!
Amazing! You make something that looks like it would be hard to make and break it down step by step. Thank you so much!

The crackle texture was done with a heat gun. The method can be found on Debbie Crother's site
A very good tutorial!
Thanks Patricia
Marvellous absolutely brilliant x

Where you got the eye? Thank you🤗

Hi! I love this, wonderful work! I have a question.. how do you get the spikes not to break? I made mine and they just broke off once dry.. 😔
Thank you again you r amazing. I want to try this. Can you list your supplies again. Sorry. New to u tube
patricia do you like to let your piece cool in the oven or do you take it right out since you have already baked it for an hour?
I have a Black and Decker convection oven, which I usually set for 1 hour 6 min, . I put my pieces in the cold oven ( almost always ) My oven turns off automatically. Sometimes I leave them in to cool- sometimes I take them out right away. I haven't noticed a difference either way.

must be so hard with shaky hands. but the end reswult is amazing
Is there a list of the products you use, so I can buy the same thing, tools included, it's hard to watch the video and write down what you are using.
Hi Pat, I no this vidio older, Do you still make theses Dragon eyes and do you sell them? Love Love Love them
Very cool! Can't wait to see more by you! :)

j adore trop bravo l artiste
Thank you Liliane!
these are really pretty do you think that you could make the actual dragon?
Thanks Typhoon, I have made a couple of small ones, but my focus is on jewelry and journal covers right now
Patricia Roberts-Thompson Oh OK thank you! Still cool though!
These are so pretty. Love em! Does baking for 1 hour burn the clay? Ive had mine for like 15 & it burned but wondering if its just my oven.
Your oven is probably baking too hot, an oven thermometer will tell you the actual temperature. If you bake at the correct temperature, you can bake it as long as you want too without burning. Not all ovens are so reliable though. I just find a longer bake time results in a stronger product- but you need to be sure that the temperature is correct- can't trust the oven
That might be why, thank you for the info. might have to get a new toaster over that's accurate. I really love these eyes.
Thanks so much!
Hello Patricia, Your video is excellent. Can you recommend a pasta machine for beginners? I will be trying your project soon. Thank you for your help.
I use an Atlas pasta machine, and really it's a great machine! I bought the cheaper one at Micheals when I first started and it didn't last a week. So in this case, cheaper is false economy
Thank you for the advice. PS, my maiden name is Roberts.
do you sell them and if you do what's the website because this is the most interesting and incredible thing I've seen and I'd love to have one because I mean who wouldn't!!!

Thank you Gabriele, I bake at 275F for 1 hour. I always cover my pieces with a aluminum baking tin
thank you very much. i will baking now before i go to part 2, right?
Yes, that is correct
Where do you get the "tool" to get the clay up after you roll it?
I'm not quite sure what tool you are referring to, unless it is my tissue blade ( clay blade ) the I used after rotting the texture onto the sheet of clay. You just slide it between the clay and the tile to lift the sheet
I wish i could make me one
I'm sure you can Melanie
Hi Patricia, how do you attach the metal for the chain?
awesome tutorial by the way
I used Gorilla Super Glue to attach the pendant bail to the clay piece. I find it very strong, and hasn't failed me yet!
do you sell your creations sorry im new to your channel just found you out of the blue
Thanks Corinne, I'm in Canada, we have very expensive shipping, so I do sell a few pieces, but mostly locally.
how much are they and how much are they to the us? I buy things from Canada all the time from Ebay.. maybe they have discounts on shipping through sellers and you could just do a set "buy it now " price .. just saying.. I want one too :) "and I'm pretty crafty but I don't have time to learn all of these different skills and get good at each of them.. lol :) So yeah, I love your art work !
