Lorena zitelli
2021-06-20 19:07:28 +0000 UTCI wonder if I could use this mold system to create candle molds
Eleni McKnight

2021-01-24 03:49:18 +0000 UTCThis would be a great way to create wall accents to make a 3D wallpaper

2020-07-27 21:52:43 +0000 UTCI just finished my switch plate covers and I would love to share them. Is there a way to post pictures to this thread?

2020-05-31 21:29:11 +0000 UTCHello! I recently switched over to Youtube Unlisted and just updated the link here. So it should be viewable now :)) I have a pinned post at the top of this feed with links to all of the transferred episodes :D
Christine McConnell
2020-05-31 14:15:52 +0000 UTCFor some reason I can't view this video now, it is saying "I do not have permission to watch," and has me sign into vimeo, then it says "Sorry we couldn't find that page"
Ashley Ross
2020-05-31 01:17:09 +0000 UTCThese turned out fantastic! I really should bring out my sculpty again...
Wren McNally
2020-04-11 16:17:01 +0000 UTCThat was soooo cool. Now I have to come up with a design. I actually love that all the switch plates have the same, refined look. Thanks for sharing!

Katie Dolan
2020-03-05 15:53:34 +0000 UTCmine* ahem...
Laura Auld
2020-03-05 11:21:53 +0000 UTCThe UK light switches are horrid and boxey. I hope I can do this to ALL ine <3
Laura Auld
2020-03-05 11:21:45 +0000 UTCThese are amazing! Got me thinking what they’d look like with glow in the dark sculpey clay.
Erin C
2020-03-05 05:52:45 +0000 UTCso fantastic
Nicola Fordham
2020-03-05 05:08:10 +0000 UTCI also love working with new products! I’m worried this stuff might be too delicate for a large grate piece, but there are other molding materials (some that come out like plastic) that I want to Fiddle with! ... something like that would be ideal for a grate!
Christine McConnell
2020-03-05 04:44:11 +0000 UTCThey’re beautiful! 🕸🕷🖤
Colleen Diane Sakane
2020-03-05 01:51:48 +0000 UTCLove this! I've been staring at my switches for a while trying to figure out a fresh look....I have never use hydro fill before but I love trying new build materials. Also, you think you could use this method for vent grates as well? That is my next project...
Dana Beaufait
2020-03-05 01:34:32 +0000 UTCSqueeeee! This looks like a project I can actually do! And what fun gifts it would make for my creepy-Loving friends. Thank you for this video. You are so incredible, Christine.
Kelly Skelley
2020-03-04 15:05:53 +0000 UTCOh this was so fun! I am trying to think of what I ‘need’ to make now!
Katherine Young
2020-03-04 14:16:26 +0000 UTCOoh these are so beautiful will you be able to put a full list of supplies including the tools you used? Cant wait to recreate.
Hannah
2020-03-04 12:10:08 +0000 UTCwhat brand of "liquid" stone were you using? When I google "hydrostone" I get something else entirely?
Sonja Corterier
2020-03-04 11:41:08 +0000 UTCWonderful!
Robin D.
2020-03-04 11:37:51 +0000 UTCAnother gem!! Love it <3
Studio Elsbeth
2020-03-04 11:34:05 +0000 UTCLoved these, they turned out fabulous!
Clare Buswell
2020-03-04 11:11:07 +0000 UTCI’m going to attempt this project and I already know it is not going to go this smoothly😂
Effy
2020-03-04 07:51:06 +0000 UTCSuch a great idea, practical yet so uniquely intricate and a piece of art. What you said in the video is so true. We touch and see these things every day of our lives. Why not change them from "blah" to "boo ha ha ha"! Love these types of projects from you Christine. Keep up the great work. P.S. Hell yes you should market your own line of products!!! STEP ASIDE MARTHA.😆
Wednesday
2020-03-04 07:00:20 +0000 UTCAs always....brilliant!
Janet
2020-03-04 05:22:21 +0000 UTCSo pretty! Definitely a great idea for that extra personal touch!
Sasha
2020-03-04 05:16:03 +0000 UTCWhat did you make the mold boxes out of? It looked like cardboard, wrapped in aluminum foil wrapped in cellophane.
Kate Frank
2020-03-04 03:07:53 +0000 UTC@ladycroft214 I love that idea!! Also, I wasn’t able to find the ceiling decals from Queenie Black, do you have a link for those?
Hali & Taylor Baird
2020-03-04 02:44:51 +0000 UTCDid you need to do a lot of clean up on your molded pieces? Or did they come out of the mold pretty clean? I love this project. I have always decorated my swithplate covers either by decoupaging my artwork on to them or gluing objects like buttons or googly eyes or washers or pennies or whatever to them. But these are so elegant! Great idea. Thank you
Patricia Kelly
2020-03-04 01:59:23 +0000 UTCI wonder if you could make ceiling tiles in a similar fashion 🤔. Queenie Black (check out her instagram) made these really awesome ceiling decals (like around her ceiling fans or light fixtures) that are really really neat.
Codie K Conklin
2020-03-04 01:53:08 +0000 UTCThis is super cool, can’t wait to try this!
Liv
2020-03-04 01:25:24 +0000 UTCYou make me wanna be crafty! LOL!!
Theresa Clay
2020-03-04 00:41:10 +0000 UTCLove them! Thank you for sharing ❤️
Hope Aldeman
2020-03-04 00:14:50 +0000 UTCCan we get a list of materials used? This is a new medium for me and Id like to avoid over purchasing. Thank you!
Megan
2020-03-03 23:41:47 +0000 UTCSooooo freakn cool. Cant wait to try everything!
Denise Moreno
2020-03-03 23:36:00 +0000 UTCThanks for being generous and telling us the names of the products you use, so we can try to replicate your process.
Sarah
2020-03-03 21:47:52 +0000 UTCI'm sorry it turned out to be more difficult than anticipated! Thank you for the update and very much looking forward to it whenever it comes!
Thatgirl
2020-03-03 21:28:53 +0000 UTCAmazing!
Nikki
2020-03-03 21:20:40 +0000 UTCThese are so cute!
Ali
2020-03-03 20:52:58 +0000 UTCAbsolutely love these. Going to have to try mold making one of these days. As if I need to learn another craft😁🕷🕸🕷
Tracy Martinez
2020-03-03 20:34:27 +0000 UTCLove the look of these! Such a shame that the light switches in the Netherlands are so bulky, otherwise I would try to make some myself..
Shirley Kanar
2020-03-03 20:22:08 +0000 UTCLoved it!! You're amazing!
Kathryn Webster
2020-03-03 19:51:50 +0000 UTCThat was great!! Can't wait to try making one!
Brenda Hunt
2020-03-03 19:46:15 +0000 UTCJust signed up for Patreon and this new post brought me such joy, your creations have been a light in a dark time! Highlight of my week 🖤
Clara Vratsanos
2020-03-03 19:45:47 +0000 UTCI would purchase a silicon mold in a heart beat. I can't sculpt to save my life and these would be perfect in my house.
Rachel Gardner
2020-03-03 19:45:46 +0000 UTCPlease, is the spooky scarecrow going to be one of the patterns? I have be anxiously awaiting since I first saw him in your opening scenes. :)
Angela Fink
2020-03-03 19:16:33 +0000 UTCThis was such a cool idea! I can't wait until I finally get some time to myself to experiment with this. The rubbing alcohol tip was great btw, I will definitely try this.
Katherine
2020-03-03 19:07:01 +0000 UTCHello! I actually started filming this episode and realized I needed to figure out a more effective method that others could realistically replicate. So I sadly had to push it out! It will be coming, but may be something I tackle a little later this year once I've moved. I apologize for the delay, just want to make sure I'm putting out the best work :D
Christine McConnell
2020-03-03 19:01:37 +0000 UTCYay! and YES! I'm working to get patterns and materials list's for the last few episode out in the next couple days :D
Christine McConnell
2020-03-03 18:56:59 +0000 UTCI was wondering if next time can you write the materials used? Polymer clay, type of mold liquid, etc. WOuld really appreciate it!!
Stella7.0
2020-03-03 18:32:48 +0000 UTCI can’t wait to try this! I attempted to create your bat, Pubert, last Halloween and discovered a love for sculpting.
Jennifer Faria
2020-03-03 18:21:15 +0000 UTCPlease, please tell me that you are going to sell these since you now have a mold. I need to buy one so bad. Will you also make companion wall plug covers?
Saltywench
2020-03-03 18:12:09 +0000 UTCDefinitely doing this project idea. I love it.
Denise Osborne
2020-03-03 18:01:19 +0000 UTCWow! I already figured out how to dust the intricacy of the design (although I rarely dust) - with a rounded stencil brush!
Aunt Debbie Halloween
2020-03-03 18:00:51 +0000 UTCShe did mention recently that the dress form is still coming, although I can't remember the source. It was in one of her recent videos. I thought I would mention it because I am also very excited about the dress form coming up :)
Jennifer Faria
2020-03-03 17:58:14 +0000 UTCLove! You truly made it all look so easy!! I'm always left speechless by your talent! Amazing job as always!
Kristin Ott
2020-03-03 17:56:36 +0000 UTCThis is amazing!!!! I want to make these asap! Will there be materials list for this episode?
Kelly McManus
2020-03-03 17:49:25 +0000 UTCI don't want to seem unappreciative, I love everything you do--but I've been waiting with bated breath for the dress form episode. I've wanted to be more sustainable and deliberate in my clothing choices and was so excited at the prospect of being able to create something that makes the process a thousand times easier. I truly hope it is still coming!!
Thatgirl
2020-03-03 17:44:17 +0000 UTCWhat a cool idea! How fun to accent a specific room with a touch of the macabre! Perhaps one specifically around the doorbell for those unsuspecting salesmen!!
Jackie Adair
2020-03-03 17:43:31 +0000 UTCDivine!!! You are so talented!
Kitty Lang
2020-03-03 17:36:52 +0000 UTCI love them, now I want to make a different one themed to each room in my house! 😆
Sarah Kane
2020-03-03 17:29:30 +0000 UTCKids, do attempt to do this at home!!! :P these are AAAmazing!!!! So can't wait to try this!! :)
Kathleen
2020-03-03 17:29:02 +0000 UTCI want that
Brandon Grew
2020-03-03 17:21:12 +0000 UTCOoooo spooky vent / return covers!!!!!
Suzanne Zorich-Feathers
2020-03-03 17:19:48 +0000 UTCThis is beyond gorgeous. I would buy these in a heartbeat 🖤 What an amazing project
CarpeNoctem
2020-03-03 17:17:43 +0000 UTCAnd matching outlet covers.
Chris Cornett
2020-03-03 17:15:18 +0000 UTCThis is SO amazing!!! Absolutely love the idea! It'll probably take me a week to do what you did in three hours, but so worth the time :D
Naama
2020-03-03 17:12:15 +0000 UTCIf you ever do decide to manufacture some household items, I would buy these up. I have been looking for new light switch covers as well as outlet covers. Obviously, these blow all the others I've seen out of the murky water.
Chris Cornett
2020-03-03 17:11:13 +0000 UTCThis hadn’t even occurred to me! Now I’m looking around too! ❤️😍❤️
Christine McConnell
2020-03-03 16:57:27 +0000 UTCI am amazed at how meticulous you are about everything you do!

Agothecary Art
2020-03-03 16:53:45 +0000 UTCThe idea to use the spiders to cover the screws is BRILLIANT. I’d love to see the ideas you have for transforming other small fixtures in the house like doorknobs, hinges, drawerknobs, vent covers, etc!
Hali & Taylor Baird
2020-03-03 16:44:30 +0000 UTCAnd again, your talent blows me away xoxo
Sherrie Potgieter

Carley Arnold
2020-03-03 16:34:16 +0000 UTCI love working with polymer clay. What a fun project.
Andrea Pate
2020-03-03 16:33:42 +0000 UTCSo happy to see a new video! I love them, they look so good! My 3 year old said they look scary awesome. So that’s always a good sign lol.
Cora Kathlea
2020-03-03 16:32:35 +0000 UTCI like the simple little projects easily doable and still very unique and fun
Summer Rose Barnes
2020-03-03 16:32:25 +0000 UTCIt looked so good on the wall! :D I want to try to make my own! You are so inspiring! X
Pip Costa

Cindy Kessler
2020-03-03 16:22:03 +0000 UTCIn AWE! The way you interpret crrepy crawlies i to your beautiful work is by far one of my favorite things you do.
Samuel Gomez
2020-03-03 16:20:12 +0000 UTCbrb just making some tofu green thai curry then you’ve got my full attention Christine, im so excited to watch ♡
Emmie Rosa-Baker

Kylie Miller
2020-03-03 16:19:25 +0000 UTCSo excited! Can you please show how you made the piece that hangs over your sink between your cabinets? Not sure what it’s called LOL I would so buy a mold of this, it’s so beautiful!
Rebecca Valentine

Jolié Nicole
