A Dialogue of Creativity for Polymer Clayers | Maintaining Creativity Through Creative Space Immersion

Last week I did a spin off of a post I made some time ago on FaceBook that garnished a lot of attention. So, last week I did a YouTube video on the same ideas and wrote an article about creativity [read it & watch it now]. Today’s video is a continuation of some of my thoughts, ideas, & some of the things that I do to help me maintain my own creativity.  In the following video I expound on this idea and share with you how I get it done. Creativity and remaining creative is something that I truly believe in and am very passionate about.

Polymer Clay Color Recipe for Blushed Orange

Orange is a wonderful color … however, it is one of my least favorite. And no offense to any of you who like it, but the orange Premo is just NOT my thing. I like my oranges to have more of a pinkish undertone, more of a jewel-like tone I guess you might call it. This polymer clay color recipe could NOT be easier. Enjoy!

Polymer Clay Face Vase by KatersAcres

Many polymer artists, especially those who are making series or duplicates of items, rely on color recipes to make uniform pieces.  For those of you who have been with me for awhile now, you know that I rarely use recipes. Why? Because I like that all my pieces are different in color, that I don’t repeat colors, and that nothing I make is ever identical. To me it adds to the special nature of my sculptures. But I’m not the norm when it comes to polymer artists… However, that’s not true in all aspects of my sculpting. Especially when it comes to one thing … skin color. For that I do have a recipe, a base recipe that I rely on over and over again. This is my favorite recipe and I rely on it often, it’s how I like to make my skin for my figurines that you can see in The Adoptables.
