Patricia, I'd like to share a tip with you and your viewers. While looking for dowels to make your endcaps on, I happened to notice a set of sponge brushes with various size dowels for handles! The package contained two each of size 1 inch down to 1/8 inch. The set was $3.10 at Walmart! Tried them out tonight and they were perfect! Easily stored in a zip lock bag!.....Thank you so much for your tutorials. You are a great teacher and your work is beautiful.

I don't know if you ever read these comments but if you do.. don't even waste money on clay yo texture sponges. I bought them-3 per order- 9.99-expensive. That aquarium filter is the same thing only. I love the "nubbly" look too.I don't use the finer ones. It looks like rough sandpaper texture. I have a solid foot scrubber, Wal-mart, that makes great nubs. I spray it with armorall & put the clay on it instead of it on the clay. cooli-o Thank you for these great vids. It's lots of work and I appreciate it.

Hi Patricia, I’m watching your wonderful end caps video and I noticed the pretty greenish ones which look like the Lily cane that Cindy did on polymer clay tv. I tried to find it but I couldn’t so I think she must have removed it or whatever. My request is: could you do a Lily cane video using the pretty pastel yellow and sage green colors that Cindy has in hers? I would be ecstatic if you can! I want to do a Lily cane but can’t find hers and the others aren’t as nice. Thanx! You are an amazing, talented and generous soul and artist to share all your knowledge and works with us “newbies”!

I really like these end caps. Saying that I’m goint to try to use my little magnets about the size of the eraser on the end of a pencil, make the clay solid about 3/4” the way and leave 1/4” hollow for the magnet. Then put an eye pen into the solid part and the magnet in the hollow part. I hope it works! You can use it if you get it work and make a video, I don’t know how to make a vid. And. Don’t have a computer etc. I hope you get what I’m saying.

@patriciaroberts-thompson
7 жыл бұрын
I work mostly with Premo by Sculpey. Dry and cracking clay sometimes just need to be conditioned. You can put it in a ziplock bag and try hitting it ( not too hard ) with a hammer or better yet, a mallet. Or if it's not too dry I slice it into 1/8" pieces and use a roller to flatten before putting it in the pasta machine. You could put it in a bag and add a couple of drops ofclay softener or baby oil, and let it soak in. Lots of things you can try

Just curious, when making these and rolling them on the paper covered rod to form the tube..say you get a little heavy handed and flatten out some of the design, can you not take that decorative roller and roll it around the rod to re texture it ? And if I may..when you were saying see the daylight putting the wire through the cap, how about a small flashlight that you can set up on the end of the cap for a guide ? I dont know I have not tried it but I have a hard time with little things like that.
@patriciaroberts-thompson

You can certainly use your texture mat or roller on the endcap - lightly so not to distort the shape. I don't usually have a problem finding the hole, but I have to bring the work closer to my eyes. I just couldn't do that in the video
