Cold Porcelain DIY Review

Its better than polymer clay. It may even be cheaper in the long run!

I've tried a bunch of different homemade clays and never had much success...

Until I ran across This:

I had previously invested in a TON of school glue, so I gave it a shot…

LOVED IT!!! It's so smooth and dries rock hard!! The ONLY issue I had was the sticky stickiness it has even after refrigeration, and I didn't know what to sculpt once I had this beautiful ball of clay in front of me.

If I get a hair up my butt, I'd love to actually MAKE nice little gothy charms with this stuff! SO NICE!

Note: It was a little messy. Having to move quickly to transport from bowl to plastic wrap surface was a bit of a pain, but worth it in the end.

Purple Hair Update!

Due to personal crap, I haven't posted a whole lot any where lately. I think its easier to whine about my shit than it is to post helpful or interesting stuff, I'm not sure if that makes me selfish or self-centered, either way, my apologies.

*sigh* OK, my hair story, haha.

To pick up where we left off…THE MESS I MADE! 

Just messy!

Then a few days after the color had time to fade a bit…

As you can see, my bottom layer is very dark, it still looks almost black.


Now to compare:

BEFORE

 AFTER

HOMEMADE PURPLE DYE FTW!!! I love it, I'm just excited to lighten it a bit so it blinds everyone with its purple glory :)

Until next time, stay cray cray!!

My Birthday post

http://zaneybatzlife.blogspot.com/

There is my personal blog. If you ever get bored, to bore yourself further you can read my random posts on there :)

I am working on getting that tutorial on youtube…long story as to why it isn't up yet. But I will post the video and link on this blog if you are interested.

Plenty of tutorials and posts coming soon! One is about purple and hair ;)

DIY Tools and Necessities

Whenever the moment arises that you just HAVE to make something, its always best to be prepared. Here are a few of my favorite and very necessary tools:

#1. Scissors 

(duh, right?!)

My lovely family always misplace my craft scissors. So, I have a special pair for them and for myself. Keep them in a hidden but unforgettable place!

#2. Exacto knives

(Great for those detailed cut outs)

Buying exacto knives can be a pain, but they last a life time! I've used them for things they probably shouldn't be used for and they still work wonders.

#3. Duct Tape

(Not exclusive for redneck projects)

So many of my projects include duct tape, its ridiculous. I freak out when I don't have my duct tape!

#4. Glue

Us DIYers always need our glues! Fabric glue, hot glue, elmer's glue…all glue is needed glue.

#5. Paint and paint brushes

Paint is always nice to have on hand. Acrylic paint is cheap, handy, and easily accessible. You can get the little bottles at walmart :)

Paint brushes of all kinds! I cannot paint to save my life, but my poor attempts are glorified by the brushes I use.

These 5 things are what make my little crafty heart thrive! Without them, I am useless.

I have been editing a craft video thats almost a year old (hehe) so, hopefully I can get that posted to my youtube AND my blog.

If you ever want to contact me, feel free to comment below! I love you, be safe, craft carefully and keep an eye out for more tutorials.
