Cold Porcelain Vs Polymer clay

• What is Cold Porcelain ?

Cold Porcelain is a soft clay which is softer and more versatile  than polymer clay, making it easier to work with.

• Cold Porcelain requieres baking ?

 NO, Cold Porcelain is  air dries Unlike polymer clay.  Also, Cold Porcelain Is Non-toxic- You won't have to worry about  toxic fumes because it is made with natural ingredients.  (Cold Porcelain is ideal for children to play with)

• How about versatility ?

Making corrections is possible with cold porcelain (before it dries) but not with polymer clay. Also, cold porcelain can be manipulated to look like marble, glass, ceramic, wood, metal, and other mediums.  Cold Porcelain can be painted, varnished, stamped, sanded, etc.

• How about price ?

Cold porcelain is cheaper if you compare it with polymer clay,
But here you have an example:

112 grs Fimo costs £3.79   (just one colour! ) with aprox £5 you can make 800grs of cold porcelain and just add the colour you want to use!

 Cold porcelain  has a millions of fans already and is gaining more popularity. Also it is being used more by sculpting artists.

Then, have a Go! try it now :)

Hello Friends!

Here's today's card!. I have always found cards for men to be a bit tricky for some reason, but if you can have all the materials to improve your creative capacity is going to be a lot easier.

For this card I used the paper pad "Falling Leaves" from #Trimcraft. (The colours are just amazing for male themes! ) Also I embosed the panels with the #Tri-boss cogs embosing folder. Then I added some wooden cogs and a tag made of cold porcelain stamped (urban Stamps from #Docrafts ) and painted it with mica. Finally I added the sentiment in the corner in black colour to mach the base layer.

Hola amig@s 

Esta es la tarjeta de hoy. Hacer tarjetas para caballeros es un poco dificil ya que la eleccion de colores, adornos y frases se reduce muchisimo..! Pero de todas formas es una buena forma de  mejorar las capacidades creativas de cualquier manualista. 

Para esta tarjeta use el papel "Falling Leaves" de #Trimcraft para hacer los paneles en colores armonicos a los cuales les aplique la textura de Cogs con #Tri-Boss. Tambien les pegue unas tuercas de madera y finalmente le añadi un tag de viajero el cual fue hecho con un sello de #Docrafts sobre porcelana fria.

Espero que les guste. Gracias por la visita ♥

'Take A Technique' TEXTURE - Challenge

Hello everyone!

This week I made a special card for the on coming  challenge of  "Craft Stamper Magazine" 

'Take A Technique' 

TEXTURE

http://craftstamper.blogspot.co.uk/

I did this card by using "Flutterby Stamps" by Debbi Moore. I stamped the Dragonfly over a piece of soft cold porcelain clay. This created a  de-boss effect in the soft clay. Then, I cut the piece and I painted it with mica powders. After the clay was completely dry I sprayed a fixative varnish.

Anyway here it is:

My stamped piece was hand painted and finished with varnish for protection and a vintage look.

Cold porcelain pieces are light, durable and very versatile!

Jewellery in Cold Porcelain

Hi everyone!

Few weeks ago I did these lovely cold porcelain pendants. Totally hand crafted ( home-made cold porcelain, shaped, stamped, painted and sealed) with an original design. I used Kaisercraft vintage Handwriting Script stamp and I coloured the porcelain with metallic mica powders.

They has been sealed to endure light moisture as well as wear and tear. Also as they are made from cold porcelain they are lightweight and durable.
Here the wonderful pendants!!

Homemade Cold Porcelain

I have got several years working with cold porcelain, it has been used in a lot of my projects. The great thing about it is that you can make it yourself, it is easy and cheap. For me is far better than polymer clay.  There is no need to put the cold porcelain in the oven and also its non-toxic!! .The cold porcelain produce very durable results,  is very nice to work with and can be easily coloured.
Some people cook the douhg ! if you want to do it there are plenty of tutorials in youtube..

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (240ml) of cornstarch/ corn flour
• 1 cup (240ml) of PVA glue (PVA for Wood)
• 2 tablespoons of vinegar/ lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons of baby oil
• Hand lotion (use in your hands durng the knead)

There are some tutorials on YouTube demonstrating the stove method. 

Mix together well and knead until smooth and elastic, adding more starch or glue if necessary. Wrap it tightly and store in an airtight container. You can add a little white oil paint , to give it a white colour when it dries. Otherwise, it will be translucent and kind of yellowish if left uncoloured.

 You can start  using it the next day!! Remmenber to use oil paint (colour choice is up to you)  to colour the dough before start modelling.
