r/clay

​

I run a small clay business on Instagram, and this is how I pack my orders! I add a little thank-you card, cat meme stickers, cute washi tapes and all that stuff because why not lol.

I've been wanting to make my packaging even cuter, but sales have been a bit slow lately, so I'm holding off on spending more on it for now. Maybe once things pick up a little, I'll get to do all the things I've been planning.

But yeah, what do you guys think? Is this cute enough or is there something I could do better?

Still practicing, but really loving how bright and cheerful the colors turned out together.

​Which one is your favorite piece?

Feedback welcome :)

Polymer clay and acrylic paint

I really like my painting job

My finished death whistle I made for my hs class

Size: 8”
Material: Polymer Clay

this is my first time making a sculpture and i still have so much to learn, but im assuming its because i used too much water to smooth out the surface. I was going to just go over it with pure clay but after reading other people’s posts it seems like it doesn’t always work, and tbh when i mess up a certain amount of times i js crash out and give up but i really dont wanna give up on this so im coming straight to here. any tips would be appreciated even if its just in general as im trying to expand my knowledge too! :)

My daughter and I did a clay making workshop. We had to wait to pick our pieces up as they needed to dry before being fired in a kiln. The delay between the workshop and getting the finished articles home means I've completely forgotten the instructions for painting them. My daughter has an air drying clay kit which has tubes of acrylics and these two jars of colourless goo in them. Unfortunately the kit didn't come with instructions so I'm not sure how to use these and if they'd be applicable for the kiln fired clay. Also, searching for bright oil online gives me beauty products so what would I need to buy to restock it.
