Exploring Paints on Polymer Clay

When it comes to adding color to polymer clay, there are a variety of paints that can be used. Acrylic paint is a popular choice and can be applied directly to the clay surface or mixed with liquid clay to create custom colors.

Alcohol-based paints, such as alcohol inks, can also be used to create unique effects and can be blended together to achieve a range of colors. Additionally, chalk pastels, mica powder, and eye shadow makeup can be used to add color to polymer clay.

Here are some creations by Karla @claylove_bysol using some of these materials:

Here is a quick tutorial we came across that shows these different options in use: Painting Raw Polymer Clay before Baking.
