HOW TO: STEAM PUNK! with POLYMER CLAY! #horse #steampunk #polymerclay #polymerclayartist

There I was staring lovingly at my most favourite picture that I printed out from Pinterest, I'd done this for a few months and suddenly the time was now. So I set to work re-creating this piece of art in clay, my favourite art medium in the world....It was certainly not without its challenges and in the end I worked out it took me about 11 hours- but of course I couldn't have done that all at once, so I made it over a week and this was my final result! As you might be aware from my channel I don't plan completely how I am going to make something, I don't test it first, so everything you see I haven't made before or even practiced. I'm so pleased to be able to share this with you and I encourage you to search to find your most favourite picture and do the same! I had so much fun :D Link to the original picture & fantastic artist! https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/23334... https://www.pinterest.co.uk/johan_sky...

Tools: -Oh I used everything I could get my hands on -Craft knife, tissue blade, all the dotting tools, plastic marking tools, sharp pointed pen tool, cocktail sticks, small 1cm, 2cm,3cm round metal cutters -Metal cog looking things (thanks dad!) -Mica powder in yellow (I used this because of the colour of clay I used) -Mica powder in gold, bronze, black, bright blue, red, silver Posca pens highly recommend for polymer clay! (I will be buying many more!) Baking: Use Polymer Clay packet instructions. Good tip is to bake no higher than 100 degrees Celsius. It's better to bake at a lower temperature for longer, than higher for shorter. Larger clay items need longer- always check after 10 mins- sometimes things fall over in the oven & can be rescued at this point. Watch for burning! Especially white as it's quick to burn (don't know why...) and can turn yellow! Electric ovens work better as the temperature is even, gas oven temperatures fluctuate do not keep a steady temp for baking polymer clay.... I don't like to state baking times because all clay is different- there are so many different products and ovens, it's hard to advise....
