How to Make miniatures food - French Breads, Stawberries, Cake

[KandySkullz]

is there a clay that i could use to make canes that can easily mix with oil paints and have a rich color?

[luluminiatures]

@KandySkullz You can use this clay (Grace Clay) to make canes but it might take a bit patience to wait for one part to dry before you move on the other part

[eerb10]

i luv the cake!!!!!!!

[smxiu]

@luluminiatures thanks :)

[bulejuicee]

will pva glue harden when baked?

[luluminiatures]

@bulejuicee it is air dry clay so you dont need to bake. PVA glue wont harden when baked

[smxiu]

If i were to use chalk to colour on top of the air-dry clay, do i apply it when the clay is dry or when the clay is wet? Cause i left alot of my miniatures to dry already without any colouring on top of it. Thanks ;)

[luluminiatures]

@smxiu You may apply when it is either wet or dry, but becareful not to put much water to the colour when the clay is still wet as it will ruin the shape

FACT: Japan IS So Awesome, America's Jealous.. xD

[AngeldemonLOLZ]

[luluminiatures]

@AngeldemonLOLZ Yes you can, but polymer doesn't involve with mixing colours and it requires baking. you may search for other youtube videos regarding polymer clay

[Dalleza]

hey lulu where can i find the japanese clay??? or how much it costs and how is it??its similar to french pastry to make crafts?

[luluminiatures]

@Dalleza It is not easy to buy unless you live in Japan/Hong Kong/Taiwan. I do sell them for AUD22 + postage. Please let me know if you are intersted. Or maybe you can purchase a french bread starter pack for AUD20+ postage. It includes instructions/clay/tools/bonus wooden tray/colour etc

[luluminiatures]

@Dunnoxxz This is air-dry clay and no need to bake

[ArchieLovesMe]

What is Japanese clay and is there a specific brand name, and where can it be purchased? I'm in the US. Thanks. :)

[luluminiatures]

@ArchieLovesMe The brand is called "Grace" clay and it is from Japan, Not sure if you can get it from US. It is resin clay

[luluminiatures]

@Milk4ppl I just used PVA glue to combine the items together :) You can visit my website to see more photos. (Please refer to the video for the website address)

[laynabby1]

[Totalidiocy]

@mileyroxforev No. It's all clay and paint.

[MissCraftyhands]

are you using paint to dip it in ??

[luluminiatures]

@MissCraftyhands I just dot some oil paint to the clay until I acheive the colour I want.

[1988maple]

May i know which japanese clay brand do you use? thx!

[TheOMGILOVE]

=]

[vitablack3]

After you are done, do you bake the figurines or you just leave them in air?

[luluminiatures]

@vitablack3 Just leave them in air and will harden the next day

[wu12994]

hi,i visited your website,great works! i just wanna ask,where do you get all your plates and the box for Krispy Kreme?:)

[luluminiatures]

@wu12994 I made the box myself. and I bought the plate from miniatures shop

[WindsLegends]

i do the exact same thing buy im only on the dimsum lv. how much does the clay cost in japan cause over here its 20

[luluminiatures]

@WindsLegends it is around the same here

[luluminiatures]

@iheartpie10 I import them from Japan

[luluminiatures]

@SuperJoeka

Only this clay can mix with oil paint

[BallerinaProduction]

japanese clay, but what kind of japanese clay?

[luluminiatures]

@BallerinaProduction , this is resin clay

[ohcountrar]

can i use glue for polymer clay or is glue batter with japanese clay

[luluminiatures]

you can't mix glue with polymer clay.

[ohcountrar]

i cant use glue for polymer clay?

[luluminiatures]

you can't because you need to bake polymer clay, so you need to bake the polymer clay first, and use glue after that

[luluminiatures]

That is just some white glue to mix with the clay. The green leaves are actually I purchased from model shop, it is for building the trees, leaves for landscapes

[ohcountrar]

So i cant use glue for polymer clay?

[xoLUVxoMYxoFIMOxo]

what is the name brand of the clay you use? Isn't Fuwa Fuwa Japanese clay? I've heard Luna is the best but I've never worked with anything other than sculpey III, fimo, premo, & super sculpey ... thanks!

[luluminiatures]

The brand is hearty for the cakes. For fruits, meat etc the brand is Grace

[xoxonailpolishxoxo]

what brand of paint,for the clay,do you use?

[luluminiatures]

The brand of the paint in the video is Van Gough, I also use Winton brand as well

[xoxonailpolishxoxo]

thanx!and where do u get the paint?

[luluminiatures]

just any art shop, but I recommend you to buy winton brand. The Van Gough one is quite old and I'm not sure if you can still find it.

[irynz27]

hi,i mix my clay with oil colour but the colour comes out very light..do i need to add more oil colour to mix for a deeper colour?..thxx =)

[luluminiatures]

Yes, you need to add more colour until achiving your desire colour

[luluminiatures]

I add oil paint to the japanese clay

[luluminiatures]

That is glue with clay

[AlexZwinky]

nice job! how do u make cream? pls make more videos!

[luluminiatures]

Please see my previous answers

[luluminiatures]

It is airdry

[Bereetha]

PS: You are amaziiiiing!!!

[Bereetha]

A bit of water? I though it was glue... I wanna learn :(

[CraftyQT]

Where do you get the Japanese clay and what kind of paint are you using?

TFS great video!

[luluminiatures]

Please refer to my previous answers thanks

[SynestheticSoul]

This is adorable!

[luluminiatures]

Thanks for your comment. When I have time I will make more videos

[luluminiatures]

The cream is clay + a bit of water

[Ivychandessu]

what product do you use to make the cream?

[XxAmericanGirlzxX]

Cute !

[kittzykk]

OMG

[luluminiatures]

From Hong Kong or Japan

[rainbowcowsonice]

Would acrylic paint work to mix the clay too?

[luluminiatures]

It works with arcylic too, but I prefer oil paint, because the clay is made from oil tree. For countries where have humid weather it is better to use oil paint to avoid the item get molded in the future.

[FenGTinG]

must this clay be baked? and what is the different between this clay and premo clay? i'm confused with all the clays.. thanks

[luluminiatures]

this is air dry clay and you dont need to bake it. Very convinence to use.

[FenGTinG]

erm.. must this clay be baked? and can u tell miie the different between this clay and premo clay? thanks

[jcyoshi]

hi!

one question what type of paint do you use to mix the colors? (acrylic or poster paint)

thank you so much!! ^^

[luluminiatures]

Hi, it is oil paint

[Estherng123]

After opening the packet of Grace Clay, how do you preserve the freshness of the rest of the clay in the packet?

[luluminiatures]

It is best to use clining wrap over the clay and use a air tight box to store it.

[luluminiatures]

I use oil paint to mix with the clay. Fimo is different type of clay and no need to mix color in

[luluminiatures]

I don't think so, it is a Japanese product and you can buy it from Japan, Hong Kong or from me @ Australia

[luluminiatures]

The brand is called Grace Clay

[luluminiatures]

No, the clay itself is moist and soft, and not wet, it is very easy to mould

[Estherng123]

So you mean when you're doing the whole thing, it's wet?

[luluminiatures]

No, it is air-dry clay

[luluminiatures]

In Hong Kong or Japan, or me from Aust.

[luluminiatures]

Using clear nail polish

[jcyoshi]

how do you make the cake all shiny in the end?? thank you :)

[luluminiatures]

It is just the clear nail polish

[kongm1]

What is the brand name for the Japanese tree oil clay?

[luluminiatures]

The brand is called Grace Clay

[luluminiatures]

The oil paint you can purchase at any art shop. You can buy the clay from me @ AUD20 + postage. If you are at Hong Kong or Japan you can buy it locally at the art shops.

[THEfirby]

The shortcake is very realistic!

[misslove889]

Is the cream glue mixed with polymer? Can I try it?

[luluminiatures]

Yes, but it is not polymer, I think polymer is relatively hard and can't dissolve in glue. The clay I used is Japanese tree oil clay

[cullenboyzrhot]

that cake was so darling!

what kind of paint and clay do you use?

[luluminiatures]

The paint is oil paint and  I was using japanese tree oil clay.

[iLikePieShowZ]

what kind of paint do you use? acrylics?

[Eivob]

Cute!

[kblader101293]

hmm, i've only use western polymer clays since now, haven't tried japanese clay :/, that looks pretty interesting...
