I have something exciting I recently discovered that I realized I had not shared here yet so figured now is a good time.</p><p>I see so many asking the question "what sealer works best on polymer clay?" But does polymer clay really require "sealing"? My answer: "No it does not". A lot of my creations have no "sealing agent or glaze" and even years later they still look good as new. If I want a high shine, I prefer to sand and then buff with my Dremel tool. I especially love how it feels when I touch it with my hands. You can read more info on this if you click on the tab at the top of this blog "<a href="https://2goodclaymates.blogspot.com/p/polymer-clay-tips.html" target="_blank">Polymer Clay Tips</a>". Here is a video of my past hubby/claymate buffing a piece with the Dremel tool. <a href="https://www.2goodclaymates.com/product/buffing-pads-for-dremel-tool/1347?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=105" target="_blank">I have the buffing pads I make myself listed in my online store here.</a> (right now on sale until the end of the month).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxnstCily0m9quzBYnYGsUjixEpmKEjvLbJ5TgtevzpTOzgXz76UZpyIrt498eNx_G8V8nDoinQAAT9Ysrybg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><p>I also create pieces that I cannot sand or buff and DO require a sealing agent or glaze. This is when I add coloring agents to the outside of my piece such as mica powders, inks or pan pastels as in the textured tube beads shown in the photo below -- <a href="https://www.2goodclaymates.com/product/textured-tubes-more-pdf-tutorial/666?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=104" target="_blank">my tutorial for this is here</a>. If the coloring materials are not sealed, they can eventually wear off over time.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><a href="https://www.2goodclaymates.com/product/textured-tubes-more-pdf-tutorial/666?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=104" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="639" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk_NaA21xs2rwCPwXx4wZl4KmGWzCGjn52fmBYnA2V-KEIoYtHiq4kx-BaRGG08w1Gi-KDW2P5wtTv7d9V0ctjczgfJLulnTS63Zm2f7AwqyH9iGlQT0q16btq-_mlrQoOI3HDA7jgJb8l-OiIIQOJ8LIrV18gMr4wr7OzCXx0jbswP_l7bWlimj1ALE7-/s320/Texturedtubes2.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.2goodclaymates.com/product/textured-tubes-more-pdf-tutorial/666?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=104" target="_blank">Textured Tube Beads</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>To Glaze or Not to Glaze . . .</b></span></p><p><a href="https://2goodclaymates.blogspot.com/2010/09/to-glaze-or-not-to-glaze-that-is.html" target="_blank">I wrote a blog post quite a few years ago on glazing your work (in 2010) and realized it needed an update</a>. So many products are constantly changing and have even been discontinued over the years. It seems I just find a product I like and then it suddenly isn't available any more! I am constantly in search of a better product -- not just something better to work with but that gives excellent results and is also safer for the environment.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLeoaY6OKn7aZRqCP2AUJx3Q5cVg-EqY-3reis1E_KlsDMxHst07BW7k2kbzr_3c1Riqr-6TtGI8RIlPiEVdly5e9lf_K4wzAdFdGnEAFLnSambkTOxnCS4-07YoShm2L2FnWIxi6kTK5uyQmQrct6PfpuRgb8tKGZvqGfL3rBvL1T4Y0hrVQ4ufpp-lCq/s596/Future%20-%20original%20vintage.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="596" data-original-width="322" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLeoaY6OKn7aZRqCP2AUJx3Q5cVg-EqY-3reis1E_KlsDMxHst07BW7k2kbzr_3c1Riqr-6TtGI8RIlPiEVdly5e9lf_K4wzAdFdGnEAFLnSambkTOxnCS4-07YoShm2L2FnWIxi6kTK5uyQmQrct6PfpuRgb8tKGZvqGfL3rBvL1T4Y0hrVQ4ufpp-lCq/w108-h200/Future%20-%20original%20vintage.jpg" width="108" /></a></div><p>One of the products I have been using for many years to seal my work (that has coloring agents which require sealing) is, believe it or not, "Future Acrylic Floor Finish". I know many who have been working with polymer clay over the years are aware of this trade "secret". Some, like myself, still use it today. Many "newbies" are not aware of it, or when they see a photo or a reference to it, they are confused. This is a product that was introduced into the market as far back as in the 1960's. The bottle pictured above is of the original vintage bottle. Over the years, the label had changed many times and was later purchased by Johnson & Johnson, thus eventually becoming "Pledge with Future" and then lastly, "Pledge Revive".</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB7wQGU3tic5EMVSAql3ejYgTFgIvEJfElUKu-ITVrmeIwSYEYuLVTJhhhWaAhzbJNiuU5m6djgNBPxGOF78jeD3pIUNTcIM90Xt4ROBcDkYt7V7I8LCNQ1hyphenhyphenVcFgGaNdTWSaxhXwI47PPjB4hpdoehw3vCt8zoSmzCy9BCv4zwwXcHq0ExLwymWOK5ei-/s574/Future%20history.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="301" data-original-width="574" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB7wQGU3tic5EMVSAql3ejYgTFgIvEJfElUKu-ITVrmeIwSYEYuLVTJhhhWaAhzbJNiuU5m6djgNBPxGOF78jeD3pIUNTcIM90Xt4ROBcDkYt7V7I8LCNQ1hyphenhyphenVcFgGaNdTWSaxhXwI47PPjB4hpdoehw3vCt8zoSmzCy9BCv4zwwXcHq0ExLwymWOK5ei-/w400-h210/Future%20history.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So now, Johnson & Johnson discontinued their latest product and sadly, is no longer available.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Or is it?????</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Well, introducing . . . . drum roll . . . . <span style="font-size: large;"><b>Quick Shine!</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgakmv6WntKg4aVv4ULoRjqqJvRancWgFoqN1S_DPCrBvbh0e2rylQzGLT1zrPj1_qkU4NEBnLOjLr_C44I4IqkqJBSzkF541TwgND0obi2k_m8ywlZ_4VT5r629Wqkl2rFHc0nzoPLGJ4C3hJLJKnekbgT_C0DA8bhi4nvuttq-OWYFjF7q5tZDKL_oN53/s539/Quick%20Shine%20-%20safer%20choice.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="407" data-original-width="539" height="242" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgakmv6WntKg4aVv4ULoRjqqJvRancWgFoqN1S_DPCrBvbh0e2rylQzGLT1zrPj1_qkU4NEBnLOjLr_C44I4IqkqJBSzkF541TwgND0obi2k_m8ywlZ_4VT5r629Wqkl2rFHc0nzoPLGJ4C3hJLJKnekbgT_C0DA8bhi4nvuttq-OWYFjF7q5tZDKL_oN53/s320/Quick%20Shine%20-%20safer%20choice.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div>It is by a different company but very much the same as the original "Future Floor Finish". I have been testing it out to see how it compares and so far, it is pretty darn close --- other than the smell. I really didn't mind the smell of the original Future (had somewhat of a fruity odor) but this one is not as strong and slightly different, yet not objectionable -- at least not to me.<div><br /></div><div><div>I should mention I also like to use the other glazes made for polymer clay such as the Cernit brand -- which comes in a matte finish besides glossy.

Just compare the labels. Quick Shine has the "Safer Choice" seal and all you have to do is look at those danger warning signs on the Varathane.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"># 2 - Quick Shine has just as hard a finish as the varathane, and maybe even tougher. After all, it is made to be used on floors which can take quite a beating.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"># 3 - Cleans up easy off your hands, etc. with soap and water.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"># 4 - Cost! Quick Shine is by far way cheaper than the varathane plus the bottle size is larger as well and keeps for a very long time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So where can you get it? I bought mine in a hardware store in the floor care section. You can google it to find what stores sell it in your area. I did see it on Amazon but at double the price but if you cannot find it elsewhere, then that can always be a back-up plan.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And here are a few quick tips for working with the Quick Shine (or Future if you still have some hanging around like I do):</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvFsxL5s3qMnRBS4tE0gfLOJNB2Z_wL6zdmVkvqQGyyEWpXneIgRUv_IHEvY4nHWoKzowgp6ft76a0rUZUAftErG3HUQXtHN5HQji1sPZ78KKFoKHFRaxl1wLb1HN2H7iIrNllbzoB1taQT70DsgakM5G1m6Eq2OCPiX7kikkLxLGfysHzQu9tUzZ3dTFr/s2257/Quick%20Shine%20in%20jar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2257" data-original-width="2255" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvFsxL5s3qMnRBS4tE0gfLOJNB2Z_wL6zdmVkvqQGyyEWpXneIgRUv_IHEvY4nHWoKzowgp6ft76a0rUZUAftErG3HUQXtHN5HQji1sPZ78KKFoKHFRaxl1wLb1HN2H7iIrNllbzoB1taQT70DsgakM5G1m6Eq2OCPiX7kikkLxLGfysHzQu9tUzZ3dTFr/w200-h200/Quick%20Shine%20in%20jar.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Pour some Quick Shine into a small clean jar (not too much as you can top it up as needed). This way when you are done you can tightly seal the jar to use next time. Over time, the Quick shine can start to thicken. If it does (reason for not too much at a time in your jar), take some paper towel to sop it up and wipe the jar out. Discard the paper towel in the garbage and add some fresh product into your jar.</li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>When applying it to your piece, use a dry, soft, clean, brush. Apply a thin, light coat to your piece. Allow to dry and then apply a second or third coat if necessary. It is better to do several thin coats than one thick one to prevent streaking, etc. It will also make the finish more durable. Wash your brush out with soap and water before it dries and hardens.</li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>After your pieces have dried, they can be "heat-set" by baking again but this time at a much lower temperature (200 F or 100 C) for 15-20 minutes. Also be sure to place the pieces in a pan that has a cover or tightly cover with tin foil to prevent any fumes from escaping (just in case).</li></ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrc2-_pVIf3ipiXsymM4j0NX_jeTmH_dnzKcyToE-pFzvLKVx31uzX86rs_RYeGSU8-yTFdNv_kmml-peDwdvhqVnE2OVp5vULXBh4aHXvl9xtnNeRiBtRPq2b0FggGSoAPX1UnO61PVpcugtOZgEbTSs2PeVQITjdl5DlkF58VgJw4gknCTAmAsoKH6ZO/s273/Glazes%20B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="273" data-original-width="254" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrc2-_pVIf3ipiXsymM4j0NX_jeTmH_dnzKcyToE-pFzvLKVx31uzX86rs_RYeGSU8-yTFdNv_kmml-peDwdvhqVnE2OVp5vULXBh4aHXvl9xtnNeRiBtRPq2b0FggGSoAPX1UnO61PVpcugtOZgEbTSs2PeVQITjdl5DlkF58VgJw4gknCTAmAsoKH6ZO/w186-h200/Glazes%20B.jpg" width="186" /></a></div><div><br /></div></div><div>So lastly, if you prefer, you can always use other glazes that are created just for polymer clay such as Sculpey or Cernit. I quite like the Cernit glaze and like how it also comes in a matte finish besides glossy. These both also recommend "heat-setting" which makes them more durable. I haven't used them for sealing mica powders as of yet but have another special use which I will share with you in another post later sometime.</div></div>2 Good Claymateshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15628362579882660652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814405208283796044.post-27243385564407467432023-11-14T20:49:00.000-08:002023-11-14T20:49:26.105-08:00Barbie Pink in Polymer Clay<p>I don't go out to the movies anymore since I lost my "Claymate" and hubby Dave. I prefer now to wait until I can watch the latest films from the comfort and convenience of my own home. Not that I don't miss going out. I do very much and our favorite way of celebrating our Anniversary was dinner and a movie. I have seen so many trailers for the latest Barbie movie and I have to say, it looks like a whole lot of fun.

At that time, it was the only brand that was made in the true artist colors. Previous to that, Premo (Sculpey brand) also had the true artist colors, but made the huge mistake of discontinuing them. This created quite an uproar within the polymer clay artist community, so Sculpey decided to put back some of the colors into circulation -- but only the three primary colors -- Red, Yellow and Blue. When the Sculpey company did this, a lot of clay artists jumped ship and switched to Kato clay.</p><p>While I personally like working with Kato clay, many artists find it difficult to condition (it is very hard/firm) and many have issues with the smell. For me, it had become more difficult to obtain here in Canada as the shipping charges and extra import fees are horrendous. And in the last few years, other clay brands that are made in the true artist colors have become more widely available, like Cernit (Number One series) and Fimo Professional (Not Fimo soft). </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFB7kuNDqVVhfRuSnY-q4TJ9D-gjL3QYDswAU6k4kGfk_7mE7sWMk6BzI7vgYT95MLTw-VKK8v1jTJfchw78djxGVcJzdzg9uZrNG4WmO60x9taQeEMHdlnN7jm09qWN6UINDakZY7iyh-4TxX8O2esXvN2mBX06TLLuX0d84GJJp85_IKIJw41Eu3Uw9b/s2365/Fimo%20Professional%20-%20Cernit%20No%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1330" data-original-width="2365" height="113" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFB7kuNDqVVhfRuSnY-q4TJ9D-gjL3QYDswAU6k4kGfk_7mE7sWMk6BzI7vgYT95MLTw-VKK8v1jTJfchw78djxGVcJzdzg9uZrNG4WmO60x9taQeEMHdlnN7jm09qWN6UINDakZY7iyh-4TxX8O2esXvN2mBX06TLLuX0d84GJJp85_IKIJw41Eu3Uw9b/w200-h113/Fimo%20Professional%20-%20Cernit%20No%201.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><p>I have tried Fimo Professional and find it quite nice to work with, however it does have it's issues.

If you would like to apply any type of powders to your textured clay, after using cornstarch as a mold release, any colored powders will not stick.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8lbdMssys2riSQkMcjw1jSW3MpNStUtUjR5RA143TNEN0JBf9wiNHUxoKmXE7mr_MIhZtp1pU3y2oAUaWD6AgEUXBwetslWpx4gSBPIFWCIcOzMwIv1gnKUV2KwV8sDgvD9i-LWy6DErTesXkNk6Q9-euZ3ymKTVdV-FP2hMZ3y5cvg9Z8j2RapeEaekq/s2797/Cernit%20Number%20One%20Clay.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2378" data-original-width="2797" height="170" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8lbdMssys2riSQkMcjw1jSW3MpNStUtUjR5RA143TNEN0JBf9wiNHUxoKmXE7mr_MIhZtp1pU3y2oAUaWD6AgEUXBwetslWpx4gSBPIFWCIcOzMwIv1gnKUV2KwV8sDgvD9i-LWy6DErTesXkNk6Q9-euZ3ymKTVdV-FP2hMZ3y5cvg9Z8j2RapeEaekq/w200-h170/Cernit%20Number%20One%20Clay.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Since a year ago, I started experimenting with the <a href="https://shadesofclay.com/products/polymer-clays/cernit-polymer-clay-and-other-cernit-products/page/2/?v=3e8d115eb4b3" target="_blank">Cernit brand clay</a> and discovered how much I like it.

I am also intrigued with the Translucent as I have seen some amazing faux glass pieces created by other artists.<div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2x_d_t-HL8mQ-9hE2G1o72_XODX6pZ1z-MNsogZvCuGbpkhZueiMyN3faYOs2sRfJMB6dUk3jkjRU1VG7SZdR1wchJ426VGsTSxYpJV844hkSeSq3GMq_QeX5mzxMALAZKx6kvs22ls2XDEjJ4sdU4UI7I-b9_l38SJKK2nGrJmshyVfhnKpX5BVzgyZB/s797/Pantone%20Fall%202023%20Fashion%20Colors.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="353" data-original-width="797" height="142" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2x_d_t-HL8mQ-9hE2G1o72_XODX6pZ1z-MNsogZvCuGbpkhZueiMyN3faYOs2sRfJMB6dUk3jkjRU1VG7SZdR1wchJ426VGsTSxYpJV844hkSeSq3GMq_QeX5mzxMALAZKx6kvs22ls2XDEjJ4sdU4UI7I-b9_l38SJKK2nGrJmshyVfhnKpX5BVzgyZB/s320/Pantone%20Fall%202023%20Fashion%20Colors.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>So in my last blog post, I announced that the Pantone color recipes would be the last I would be sharing with you here as I will be no longer using Kato clay.

It does not have all the extra color recipes provided in my Original Clay Color System that uses Kato clay but these recipes can be purchased separately or as an extra bonus. Many of these recipes are used as base colors to create the Pantone color recipes provided on this blog (see the link at the top of this page). This means you can still create the older color recipes provided here using other clay brands besides Kato, but the end results might not be the same.</div><div><br /></div><div>So if you do not have my Clay Color System and would like to learn more about an easy way of mixing color, I have it on sale (30% off until the end of this week. To celebrate finishing my work, I decided to put <a href="https://www.2goodclaymates.com/shop/tutorials-pdf-lessons/104" target="_blank">all my other tutorials on sale for 30% off as well</a> (excluding my snap tutorial with the bonus Starter packs). No coupon code is necessary. The prices have already been reduced. The sale will end on midnight next Saturday, October 28.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>* Also my preprinted color recipe cards will be available soon - as soon as my materials arrive.

Click on the photos below to see the individual recipes. You can access the past Pantone seasonal color recipes by clicking on the tab at the top of this blog. I have my Pantone color recipes posted on this blog that go all the way back to 2011 when I first published my Color System tutorial. I have been mixing up Pantone colors using Kato clay much longer than that and always found it to be inspiring and a way to spring board my creativity each season. </p><p>Now I feel it is time for a change and so sadly, this was the last time I will be sharing any future Pantone color recipes here on this blog. You will be able to purchase any new designer colors through my online store in future and I will be sharing here instead ideas on using these new colors.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://2goodclaymates.blogspot.com/2023/03/viva-magenta-pantone-color-of-year-2023.html" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="577" data-original-width="747" height="247" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg5fob7KRp-e3bNIZURnLhy5-QknnRQ2-VR8jKofcDgnCcJIVBEuNLj0h4Z0zbTJQDKeWnp2ptgAy_4F2RuMNODnouMjr08Bdu9PTB9kSqX9mvSp4XmkarbQiTDQqOQO5lz7qpaBdR-7wxk8ttneHKugKHAVKhVsnhAAaYuB2b0_BrNd1K6iZM-BsWyCYl/s320/Viva%20Magenta%20-%20Color%20of%20the%20year%202023.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Viva Magenta - Color of the Year</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><a href="https://2goodclaymates.blogspot.com/2023/10/pantone-fall-2023-fashion-colors-red.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="219" data-original-width="764" height="115" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiULLCxMq9JrW9j66Eb5in-LmyHFzwALdDQ7wY3Ro6D_jzxD2SZPV0SJCb1Uo6NeqS-ovD-ErL0sOST4RoY5zhVjazq8evjmKHWVW5rj03nLjJFR2nPHEap-lGKUOYFcjbWVGEW9vjxsyp8L4ItBFfGW4eRRJpsE6uG6aIQH5Klqwuna08ces2y0WAFcYl-/w400-h115/Pantone%20Fall%202023%201a.jpg" width="400" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://2goodclaymates.blogspot.com/2023/10/pantone-fall-2023-fashion-colors-red.html" target="_blank">Red Dahlia - Red Orange - Burnt Sienna - Rose Violet</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><a href="https://2goodclaymates.blogspot.com/2023/10/pantone-fall-2023-fashion-colors.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="230" data-original-width="587" height="125" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYnamzGWu2CUipbts6aQwzRvHJtgZ-J5MutvqgEKbgIy-pi8tvieVSp0Mtf10vJ6nsq2Egi5nDhh1TnS1rTC-nNEQ6va9nfYkbm0VAEGJOTpHM5EQeaU8H3jth_2kFOiJeLrJYt8oJVqhbta7qBPQUMVHLU5adFmLcJIzr3HdSvCam_0C5SrYp4W_DsGm5/s320/Pantone%20Fall%202023%201b.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://2goodclaymates.blogspot.com/2023/10/pantone-fall-2023-fashion-colors.html" target="_blank">Carnival Glass - Kohlrabi - High Visibility</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><span style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><a href="https://2goodclaymates.blogspot.com/2023/10/pantone-fall-2023-fashion-colors_6.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="218" data-original-width="591" height="118" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ-E5f24mjSGGtNuykTSjuwbZkI0QZSvaLF9J8Lbh9rrHXxNgm9nuT5EbGsrQU_Wv6bG2XHksx2199lnbMOtDbburW6JSP9KoD4gypQ0lkSJr_pJ5C5ymIMEfcitoddWVzjTL6Hl9icvIUqMwMcTWFSa58nxri1hfHkoKrbiLCHtsEeY8lzJrSIAkeNDs4/s320/Pantone%20Fall%202023%201c.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://2goodclaymates.blogspot.com/2023/10/pantone-fall-2023-fashion-colors_6.html" target="_blank">Persian Jewel - Tender Peach - Doe</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div>I hope you enjoy these new recipes.

It is also on Pantone's list for a "close match" so this is why I chose to use the same color recipe again for this fall.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVLqG64El0Il-yrhz8gAuBinpQlRrerdBAHzUwCTMfUOEqFtAZ6pR8FupTfwuOaniQ0ULzBc5UMYSDtVpSw3unWH3rSS280MkJbXCXg7fqJMhhMRN9JeUqzHU0mU1GEKiThhy_EQylOWAKeaVmHekRJVqEUtn6DqXE7FetnSgbwYIS2VeLmUxe0NZ84W24/s606/High%20Visibility%20a.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="606" data-original-width="606" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVLqG64El0Il-yrhz8gAuBinpQlRrerdBAHzUwCTMfUOEqFtAZ6pR8FupTfwuOaniQ0ULzBc5UMYSDtVpSw3unWH3rSS280MkJbXCXg7fqJMhhMRN9JeUqzHU0mU1GEKiThhy_EQylOWAKeaVmHekRJVqEUtn6DqXE7FetnSgbwYIS2VeLmUxe0NZ84W24/w200-h200/High%20Visibility%20a.png" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The only items I have made with the Pantone Fall colors for this year so far are a few of my little textured buttons.

This clay color may appear light after mixing but you will find it to become darker after it is baked. That is one of things I noticed with using Kato Brand Clay, especially when working with red, magenta and sometimes violet if added as an ingredient. I have learned to make an allowance for this when mixing my colors. I am currently working out some of these recipes with other clay brands, particularly Cernit, to see if I get the same results.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6puvkXeKWXaFk2_iGH4DyzD4O2i8MpvqCusOmCXU7DWFP5DRM4CdMeFGmZAZszPmcN8DeM6wIc27AuqntiaoolD31brOmbeVpCwrXkCBxmsg2ErDjCsZCZ5e_SCPyL2RNmKSKLl08TII8d3JQVcFWsiCYZu_D5Ub2lWnONlJcgwu3yUB-af-tRbzvbgcr/s598/Red%20Dahlia%20a.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="598" data-original-width="598" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6puvkXeKWXaFk2_iGH4DyzD4O2i8MpvqCusOmCXU7DWFP5DRM4CdMeFGmZAZszPmcN8DeM6wIc27AuqntiaoolD31brOmbeVpCwrXkCBxmsg2ErDjCsZCZ5e_SCPyL2RNmKSKLl08TII8d3JQVcFWsiCYZu_D5Ub2lWnONlJcgwu3yUB-af-tRbzvbgcr/w200-h200/Red%20Dahlia%20a.png" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Red Orange</b> is not exactly as it sounds.

You can see where Macchiato is a mix of orange and green (half way between - more or less), thus creating a shade of brown. It is also on the opposite side of the color wheel to the two blue colors making them "complimentary". Complimentary colors generally make a good contrast to each other and can also look good together.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLIIa-0ePreB_ggQGsYKw56X2Lv0bMRheUA0q3tueh_w0th5cQUyB0tEN5wL9ELwDQIfU3T9eznq6djc_ZC2XMVnqq-fHr5IO9LUesEyz8Gkqy5d9GsU3KgSvwK509nDhCQIvQclDEI9OpijFpbcyzd7iFxBCKON_2a5UITGtHlnFa0BHZfy-_aDulbw/s548/Screenshot_20230323-114647~2.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc0PuB8dc971qmd01q-d0lQxCoRXtZZgw3T_3XLqO45Q76see3UnXvDqr-aUvElV8Ifzs1Pl3rhNzPTQDlOTKpQGLklffwbTS1QYgeIcBM7ntnAcowxHkCOXx6dqSaBAhp-ZqGKVE6O7epsVg604SPpmzUtyhgzaqTmAPHeEuQyz6ZJJE3N_6K0FpZTQ/s672/Color%20wheel.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="672" data-original-width="663" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc0PuB8dc971qmd01q-d0lQxCoRXtZZgw3T_3XLqO45Q76see3UnXvDqr-aUvElV8Ifzs1Pl3rhNzPTQDlOTKpQGLklffwbTS1QYgeIcBM7ntnAcowxHkCOXx6dqSaBAhp-ZqGKVE6O7epsVg604SPpmzUtyhgzaqTmAPHeEuQyz6ZJJE3N_6K0FpZTQ/s320/Color%20wheel.png" width="316" /></a></div></div>Here are a few other illustrations combining these same five colors to see how they look on various color backgrounds and also as a gradient blend.<div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfno8ajGGDPTgmo9h1y_c32pxUOLX9fINkqF1CEtSRazJv8RLqMYHgWwQSYqlWNhtGevKzBMsdtBm7CYn8WEgS0qQbGurkjZaq6R2ngrS-3aQ-NPZo7ux7S6NDUlb6MfI01jywazaJh_3iuFnhZXM3pxPbLyNOjj5nBEG0Mn0ZHJ5TRgGIWsE4sc0n9A/s664/Gradient%20Blend.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="304" data-original-width="664" height="147" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfno8ajGGDPTgmo9h1y_c32pxUOLX9fINkqF1CEtSRazJv8RLqMYHgWwQSYqlWNhtGevKzBMsdtBm7CYn8WEgS0qQbGurkjZaq6R2ngrS-3aQ-NPZo7ux7S6NDUlb6MfI01jywazaJh_3iuFnhZXM3pxPbLyNOjj5nBEG0Mn0ZHJ5TRgGIWsE4sc0n9A/s320/Gradient%20Blend.png" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Gradient Blend</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjoMNJJV8R_teWPTecZGo6gfxnDmkEvt7T_8dYVr7q93CdxufRodzLmhqE5imbsYzFUbDBj_nm3z3fEvj7nijO7hmqeA1wfp5hvemcXS5gLWlHOLGTD_lmK5wLBFDuhET24NVtqhi1Z2yOdWkL0YMAMJpT82bnjUm7Tdue9DI7gwNqPOH1XLvllthhaQ/s696/Color%20Background%20Combinations.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="335" data-original-width="696" height="154" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjoMNJJV8R_teWPTecZGo6gfxnDmkEvt7T_8dYVr7q93CdxufRodzLmhqE5imbsYzFUbDBj_nm3z3fEvj7nijO7hmqeA1wfp5hvemcXS5gLWlHOLGTD_lmK5wLBFDuhET24NVtqhi1Z2yOdWkL0YMAMJpT82bnjUm7Tdue9DI7gwNqPOH1XLvllthhaQ/s320/Color%20Background%20Combinations.png" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Mixing the different color backgrounds</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhox2pbDIIGzpfTXwaMWy2RP05Uzj-IVhIYCpY-mz_qJi6j29_k6jcXhyZ4GD8F529R5I1GtejNQqgtr-KnBsCqz0Mb_OrV4ONRd537gEAGRAM3Mp81waIWHVS4ZM757_Ry1LvdcZCLiABCXRrbd7rF9S8nvAGBGuh2I9MYDKWw42TtzMxjYukL930dnQ/s643/White%20vs%20Black.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="338" data-original-width="643" height="168" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhox2pbDIIGzpfTXwaMWy2RP05Uzj-IVhIYCpY-mz_qJi6j29_k6jcXhyZ4GD8F529R5I1GtejNQqgtr-KnBsCqz0Mb_OrV4ONRd537gEAGRAM3Mp81waIWHVS4ZM757_Ry1LvdcZCLiABCXRrbd7rF9S8nvAGBGuh2I9MYDKWw42TtzMxjYukL930dnQ/s320/White%20vs%20Black.png" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Colors shown on a white vs. black background</td></tr></tbody></table><br />I like to play with my Pantone app and create various color palettes to see how they look together.<div><br /></div><div>I should mention that the Pantone color Skylight is a lighter version of the <a href="https://2goodclaymates.blogspot.com/2022/02/pantone-colors-spun-sugar-harbor-blue.html" target="_blank">Pantone Spring 2022 color Blue Harbor</a>. Since it takes a fair amount of white to lighten, it is much easier to use a small amount of the Blue Harbor as the base rather than mixing the Skylight color from scratch. If you already follow my <a href="https://www.2goodclaymates.com/product/carolyn-s-clay-color-system-pdf-tutorial/663?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=104" target="_blank">Clay Color System</a> and saved any left over clay in the color Harbor Blue, you already know how convenient this method is. That is why my Color System tutorial is more than just color recipes.

That is why having a yellow in between works as a sort of "bridge" and prevents the mud effect.

It was a dear ringer match for the color on the walls I had painted! <a href="https://2goodclaymates.blogspot.com/2021/06/our-new-home-updates-finally-done.html" target="_blank">You can see my blog post here</a> on the renovations I did.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwMzagiBXRTSSqR49qn1PTw_fvi2aj5H2lBPG5cPy34t8bldewiuVnY3IK7KK9U4bIWwRQ4-6c3whWw026sFfMWUyCCScG5FmcN_Z3NEMSp-Xm9nHnHGX5J1aFN1XPwTdh7Wzsv2vdjZsQKhqrhiXvb1ZdoiHC71I0FkQJ4I7Lw2dXNHL_jOUq8RqxgA/s3490/Kitchen%20-%20After%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3490" data-original-width="3488" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwMzagiBXRTSSqR49qn1PTw_fvi2aj5H2lBPG5cPy34t8bldewiuVnY3IK7KK9U4bIWwRQ4-6c3whWw026sFfMWUyCCScG5FmcN_Z3NEMSp-Xm9nHnHGX5J1aFN1XPwTdh7Wzsv2vdjZsQKhqrhiXvb1ZdoiHC71I0FkQJ4I7Lw2dXNHL_jOUq8RqxgA/s320/Kitchen%20-%20After%202.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love this warm color and how it makes me feel whenever I am in the kitchen.

But it seems the cycle never ends and January means back to end of year bookkeeping, taking inventory and such. Counting all the trillions of little items for inventory is not my favorite task but has to be done. I am quite strange though as I have taken all the accounting courses and quite enjoy it. I just find it difficult to switch back and forth between that and my creativity in the studio. It is like a struggle that goes on between the right side and left side of my brain. So I will forge ahead and wrap up the paperwork as quick as possible so I can go back to the fun side of life!</p><p>Unlike a New Year's resolution, I have instead been contemplating on what my focus should be for this year and I feel I have a good plan. I have already started off by implementing a few changes with more to come later.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRkfXrNPIukZK16CV5CqNVtPfHn_IGLibM6i6SnBqbxryQWsLaNjDtFlknCc5yNfi2XGzYgLmmQvgnhtyS2-SvfXy9Ho2TGkksb1qIIyXsocfXW5hF6BiblWK9IJs8S3LrKWVJoR4LTwXiA-rFByXScNpDYdGmJtsLH2BTD6BUAj67ej_6BoFMZB6sPg/s800/Snap%20-%20Flower%20-%20Purple%201b.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRkfXrNPIukZK16CV5CqNVtPfHn_IGLibM6i6SnBqbxryQWsLaNjDtFlknCc5yNfi2XGzYgLmmQvgnhtyS2-SvfXy9Ho2TGkksb1qIIyXsocfXW5hF6BiblWK9IJs8S3LrKWVJoR4LTwXiA-rFByXScNpDYdGmJtsLH2BTD6BUAj67ej_6BoFMZB6sPg/w200-h200/Snap%20-%20Flower%20-%20Purple%201b.JPG" width="200" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Eight years ago I created my first interchangeable "snap" jewelry pieces!

Artic Wolf is actually more of an off white. I have to say that is one of my main dislikes with Kato clay is that their white is not really pure white but more of an off white and wondering if anyone else has noticed this? Just hold the block of clay next to a white from any other brand of clay and you will see what I mean. And not only is it not that white to begin with, it is notorious for discoloring even more after baking! Donna Kato had publicly shared how she bakes her transluscent pieces in a pan of baking soda (completely cover the item) to prevent darkening or discoloring. I do the same for my whites as well.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhowYdwRmL8labk33MeykzDpL2XxeH6f_15MQiIrlrMaaTJUQFfqUYBcIHYyltr7bw4nsJgWh8BOSwBuvqbvwYZFEK0uTMKEqK70HbQOoCwqnlieOXEu_7hKezRi_mhwsArhiqw1qpkfEhCG3WcQSsKRWHpo3HIq-oVDYEPQWEf066csu6bStUwbfAhOQ/s1600/Step-32d.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1294" data-original-width="1600" height="259" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhowYdwRmL8labk33MeykzDpL2XxeH6f_15MQiIrlrMaaTJUQFfqUYBcIHYyltr7bw4nsJgWh8BOSwBuvqbvwYZFEK0uTMKEqK70HbQOoCwqnlieOXEu_7hKezRi_mhwsArhiqw1qpkfEhCG3WcQSsKRWHpo3HIq-oVDYEPQWEf066csu6bStUwbfAhOQ/s320/Step-32d.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>I actually bake this way with a lot of my clay beads and larger items for another reason -- to prevent them from actually cracking! I use to get a lot of pieces with surface cracks until I started baking my pieces this way. Just a quick note: I know many have confused baking soda with cornstarch. I do NOT recommend cornstarch to be used this way. After baking, the baking soda will wash right off where cornstarch will not and actually get embedded into the clay. Cornstarch works best only as a mold release when water isn't suitable.</p><p>Anyhow, I felt it was futile to mix up more shades of white, black and grey but will share recipes for Loden Frost and Autumn Blonde. Loden Frost is a very soft and muted shade of green. For Autumn Blonde, the color "Linen" is a close match which could be used instead.

I am also seeing a lot of animal prints in the stores going into fall. I generally do most of my animal prints with "canes" that I create myself but I happened to have this <a href="http://www.tonjastreasures.com/blog/" target="_blank">silk screen from Tonja</a> and so thought I would try it out. There are six different style prints on one silkscreen so I decided to experiment with three different clay colors and screen print all at the same time. I lined up the Caramel Cafe for a Leopard print, a white for the zebra and a grey for the snake.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzuCeLmj5BFqare8r1dph9GZ3Xrf21vdl4nUUwuF5Ws9XGhqGJaQkhq-Qm0mW9LBKWdaYOhgkHr9CInLo7-LLxO64hAQij_4E553kqs222hsJl9DfTuvMcm_RWdjrDdWYv6DAoPy8cR14voOxy0eNEbcFkqXF8WbynlfDtAm1ONyGcphQq6MtSCWR9SA/s3052/Caramel%20Cafe%20-%20Silkscreen%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2276" data-original-width="3052" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzuCeLmj5BFqare8r1dph9GZ3Xrf21vdl4nUUwuF5Ws9XGhqGJaQkhq-Qm0mW9LBKWdaYOhgkHr9CInLo7-LLxO64hAQij_4E553kqs222hsJl9DfTuvMcm_RWdjrDdWYv6DAoPy8cR14voOxy0eNEbcFkqXF8WbynlfDtAm1ONyGcphQq6MtSCWR9SA/s320/Caramel%20Cafe%20-%20Silkscreen%201.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisjf6Ak8kYpBiVGGH9KAizYqOfpS1iNisF1WPSFHAk06sWYI3gILOyu__hhEq2nlDNzRIVyigB-E7-nSmL2JI4RZvi9BeaHarM1cQNl5kpdQ48VlXKeX0VPqWShv6_L9CiuYn32xB_1WTP2QBnh0l-77eknBGlbIQUMdG2AFnr_UmaTjwNNbakTMBreQ/s3456/Caramel%20Cafe%20-%20Silkscreen%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2344" data-original-width="3456" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisjf6Ak8kYpBiVGGH9KAizYqOfpS1iNisF1WPSFHAk06sWYI3gILOyu__hhEq2nlDNzRIVyigB-E7-nSmL2JI4RZvi9BeaHarM1cQNl5kpdQ48VlXKeX0VPqWShv6_L9CiuYn32xB_1WTP2QBnh0l-77eknBGlbIQUMdG2AFnr_UmaTjwNNbakTMBreQ/s320/Caramel%20Cafe%20-%20Silkscreen%202.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I then screen printed all three colors at the same time in black and this is the result.

In fact I have used this exact blue recipe to create some of my faux denim pieces. In order to do this, all you need is actual denim fabric to use as your texture! I just create a thick sheet of smooth clay, spray the denim fabric and clay with water as a mold release and then run it through the pasta machine together on a thinner setting. (Tip: this does not work with Fimo clay as fimo reacts badly to water and will become really wierd and gummy so best to do this with any other type of clay).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLNTTNENQ5eMTfBRtQJUIhuOsNBhad-UJuZIkYtKMutjIlTcZQ1xAzfI9pFP8TBSuPlBHAzEoQ8dFjuVFfamnZPSfi1eiR-gVMZnEyG8XBwpdtCDOP9zvHOSr8pJwBxTH4y2Y_XLqNGObv47sSgVtk_rzrwc3Fnso4YLxqEqrF2ghbHfEtcV1PkynLTQ/s1932/Midnight%20-%20Denim.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1932" data-original-width="1931" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLNTTNENQ5eMTfBRtQJUIhuOsNBhad-UJuZIkYtKMutjIlTcZQ1xAzfI9pFP8TBSuPlBHAzEoQ8dFjuVFfamnZPSfi1eiR-gVMZnEyG8XBwpdtCDOP9zvHOSr8pJwBxTH4y2Y_XLqNGObv47sSgVtk_rzrwc3Fnso4YLxqEqrF2ghbHfEtcV1PkynLTQ/s320/Midnight%20-%20Denim.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div>By the way, the Midnight blue clay shown above here looks a bit lighter but that is because it will darken after it is baked. In fact many of the Kato clay colors will change slightly after baking and so when I first create my recipes I generally allow for this factor and the final color match test is after it is baked.<div><br /></div><div>So here are some denim snaps and earrings I have created using this exact blue color. After texturing, I create my pieces and bake. After baking I will rub in white acrylic paint (make sure it is acrylic or compatible with the clay) and then rub off any excess until I get the look that I want. I will then bake again to make the paint adhere to the clay more.<br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbwxoAlYbX8WYdPVEFNyjWCqagOI3WYUl15SQRjVESXmIJV6FJ-nUTHRePvSoM7MyAvQsEkPf4tzM3l7jTDeZJWXQDYuBC3IsjheLaHJct07nuiYWfC015X5n2OSLGaqyc9N9rA8cko3N6r-6KZfxdrCti4esqgrLkLcWelDDT7iaXBhhNXhLCvPGEZg/s499/Faux%20Denim.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="499" data-original-width="491" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbwxoAlYbX8WYdPVEFNyjWCqagOI3WYUl15SQRjVESXmIJV6FJ-nUTHRePvSoM7MyAvQsEkPf4tzM3l7jTDeZJWXQDYuBC3IsjheLaHJct07nuiYWfC015X5n2OSLGaqyc9N9rA8cko3N6r-6KZfxdrCti4esqgrLkLcWelDDT7iaXBhhNXhLCvPGEZg/s320/Faux%20Denim.jpg" width="315" /></a></div><div><div><br /></div><div>Martini Olive is a rich olive green and slightly darker than the Olive green in my Clay Color System.

The hardest thing I find with mixing up the new line of colors is that some of the current ones I am not quite ready to give up yet. So I will add those favorites to my permanent collection in my "<a href="https://www.2goodclaymates.com/product/carolyn-s-clay-color-system-pdf-tutorial/663?cp=true&sa=false&sbp=false&q=false&category_id=104" target="_blank">Clay Color System</a>".

In my studio I have these photo cases that I keep many of my "canes" or clay veneers organized. You can buy them individually or the best deal is the case that contains 16 for a special price. I have lots in the clear that works well for seeing what is inside easily but I also like the multi-colored ones (as in the photo shown above) so I can coordinate with my clay colors and find the ones I want quicker.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7NTj_qBm1wQQ2LNcAjqtmZXT-0lVTARcJSFiRUErHIv__geV2v-MAhP-8Gm-AptAP0nEIyHziRdEXzDOZ70oC1T72a9B1V8GX0EKtnu62tOD1vYA6FKuPzNygiXzPmbHxe7hM6BOthWohf7CSWWy_dqGz9xL80Bk-nlaDyNIlEeHu5KQJE2t4zgDk-w/s4640/Photo%20containers%20for%20storage%202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4640" data-original-width="1089" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7NTj_qBm1wQQ2LNcAjqtmZXT-0lVTARcJSFiRUErHIv__geV2v-MAhP-8Gm-AptAP0nEIyHziRdEXzDOZ70oC1T72a9B1V8GX0EKtnu62tOD1vYA6FKuPzNygiXzPmbHxe7hM6BOthWohf7CSWWy_dqGz9xL80Bk-nlaDyNIlEeHu5KQJE2t4zgDk-w/w150-h640/Photo%20containers%20for%20storage%202.jpg" width="150" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">These photo boxes fit perfectly in the media storage shelf that I have next to my clay mixing table.

If you want a head start, here is a clue: Check out the labels on the cases that show the 10 colors in the photo above.
