Lets add some color to Creative Paperclay Tip By Gloriann Irizarry

 

August is in and today tip will be base on a question I been asked many times.

 

Can you add color to Creative Paperclay® Material?

 

Well the answers is:

Yes you can.

 

This material is so versatile you can sculpt is right out of the package or lets add some color to it.

Its easy you can use many mediums out there like:

 

Water Colors

Acrylics

or my personal favorite the Tim Holtz Adirondack Alcohol Inks

 

 

 

If you want to try to add color to your Creative Paperclay® start by adding some color to your paperclay. 

 

 

Open your favorite color of Tim Holtz Adirondack Alcohol Inks and add drops directly to your clay.

 

 

I do recommend to wear gloves while mixing the clay since the alcohol ink will stain your hands.

Mix has much color has you want. Remember the more colorful you want the more ink you need to add to the Creative Paperclay®

 

 

 

I like to color my clay when I'm sculpting masks, Art dolls  and Ball Jointed Dolls BJD

 

 

By adding the color directly to the Creative Paperclay® is simple. This step will save you  time by not having to color or paint it once your done sculpting your piece.

 

 

 

Have in mind the color of the clay will lighten up once it dry.

Look at these BJD torsos examples of already dry Creative Paperclay®.

 

 

 

 

The Creative Paperclay® used one on the left torso is lightly tint with Tim Holtz Adirondack Alcohol Ink and the started torso on the right is plain white right from the Creative Paperclay® package.

 

Sanding the tinted clay will not change the end color. Try it and feel free to share with us your results with us at our Creative Paperclay® Q&A Facebook page Click here to join us.

Dawnmercedes' March Tip

As promised, here are some helpful tips for dying Delight ™!

Here is a magnet I posted last month.

Don't you love the color!

You can create all sorts of colors using your reinkers.

Supplies:

frisbee

reinkers

rubber gloves

Delight ™

I have found all sorts of uses for Frisbees. 

If you are like us, you'd have to be an Octopus to be able to use them all! haha

Why not put them to use in your craft room!

They are reuseable.

They are washable.

There is a lip to keep things "in place."

And, they come in all sorts of pretty colors!

Tear off a hunk of modeling compound.

Smoosh it a bit...and add some reinkers.

Get creative...mix shades of reinkers to come up with your very own green color!

Remember, start off light with your colors. It's easier to add more to go darker.

Getting it lighter...well, that's another ball of Delight ™!  

I used rubber gloves to protect my hands when kneading 

Delight ™.

Remember to store the extra Delight ™ in an airtight container.

Or...stay up late using it up on another project!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Thanks for stopping by

Now that major holidays have come to an end

we have a little breathing space to

create some future Hallmark celebrations

My daughter is getting older

and she now wants to pick out her own

clothing, do her own hair, etc.

I know she loves this color combination

I decided to make her a

BIG HEART 

great for Valentine's Day

 rolled the lavender one out and made it 1/4" thick

combined all the Creative Paperclay® colors

Love the way the colors swirled

 rolled the  Creative Paperclay®  thick enough

 to pierce the wood skewer through

about 1/4"

Knowing my little kiddo

she is going to want me to change the ribbon

for a leather or stretchy string

See you soon!
