Sculpey Tool Organizer Review and Special Guest

00:00:03 –> 00:00:08 Hi guys, its Cindy Lietz, your Polymer Clay Tutor, and I’m here in the studio today

00:00:08 –> 00:00:11 with Bertha Adamson.

00:00:11 –> 00:00:18 And she is one of our members from Aurora Colorado, and she had to come out to Vancouver

00:00:18 –> 00:00:23 for a conference and she asked if we were available, and we were, and so now we’re

00:00:23 –> 00:00:27 hanging out in the studio and we’ve been eating cookies, and drinking coffee and talking

00:00:27 –> 00:00:29 about Polymer clay.

00:00:29 –> 00:00:32 So it’s been very fun to have you here, welcome.

00:00:32 –> 00:00:33 (B)Great, thank you.

00:00:33 –> 00:00:39 (C)It’s been quite fun, we’ve been talking about lots of different things, one of the

00:00:39 –> 00:00:42 things…a few videos ago, I showed you a bunch of new products that we have from Sculpey

00:00:42 –> 00:00:47 that came out, and this is one of the ones that you guys asked if I could show you a

00:00:47 –> 00:00:50 demo on and it is the tool organizer.

00:00:50 –> 00:00:53 And I thought… since we were hanging out here in the studio, I might as well just show

00:00:53 –> 00:00:56 you this and how it works.

00:00:56 –> 00:01:00 And it’s kinda one of those things that I…you know I thought it was neat and everything,

00:01:00 –> 00:01:07 until I actually put it together, and I wanna show you…I’ve got a table here full of

00:01:07 –> 00:01:13 all kinds of tools, texture plates and a bunch of different things, and normally they’re

00:01:13 –> 00:01:20 just in a bucket or something laying to the side, and this little tool organizer is quite

00:01:20 –> 00:01:26 cool…if I can get this box open, alright.

00:01:26 –> 00:01:32 It’s really simple in design but it holds all kinds of stuff…what did I throw down…you

00:01:32 –> 00:01:33 got that?

00:01:33 –> 00:01:39 Now it’s got a couple of little pins that you pop in, thank you, and we’re just gonna

00:01:39 –> 00:01:46 pop it together, and it has obviously been designed for the clay artist, because everything

00:01:46 –> 00:01:51 fits in here, the roller fits in, all of these little tools.

00:01:51 –> 00:01:57 And I’ve got the…you recognize these, they’re just about in every tutorial, these

00:01:57 –> 00:02:01 are the style and detailing tools, there’s little slots for those.

00:02:01 –> 00:02:07 The clay blades…there’s sort of a rectangular spot up here at the front, and all the clay

00:02:07 –> 00:02:16 blades will fit in there really nicely, which is great because you don’t want these laying

00:02:16 –> 00:02:19 around, they’re sharp, they’re…you know, they’re dangerous, you wanna be able to

00:02:19 –> 00:02:24 grab them whenever you can and you wanna be able to see them…and so they all fit in

00:02:24 –> 00:02:25 here beautifully.

00:02:25 –> 00:02:28 I think you were sort of surprised how much stuff goes in here right?

00:02:28 –> 00:02:35 (B)Yes, well, as I’ve mentioned, a couple of people in my Polymer clay guild, the local

00:02:35 –> 00:02:40 one in Colorado, had received some of these items from Sculpey as well…they have a relationship,

00:02:40 –> 00:02:46 and they had them out, and I saw this, and I thought ‘oh yeah, another organizer’

00:02:46 –> 00:02:52 and I wasn’t quite sure what to do with it, and I thought, ‘we’ll see’, and

00:02:52 –> 00:02:58 when you know, you kind of showed me and told me how much it holds…I was just stunned,

00:02:58 –> 00:03:00 it’s like…it actually looks like it works.

00:03:00 –> 00:03:04 (C)Yeah, absolutely, I was surprised, because there’s all these little things that…like

00:03:04 –> 00:03:09 mandrills, you’ve got miles of them and little sculpting tools, and this one also

00:03:09 –> 00:03:10 holds…

00:03:10 –> 00:03:16 I was just actually quite surprised, it holds the little rollers for their…you know their

00:03:16 –> 00:03:20 little roller edger tool… thingy, I don’t know what the real name is, what is it, a

00:03:20 –> 00:03:21 roller edger?

00:03:21 –> 00:03:23 (B)I think I’ve used that name, if that’s the name…

00:03:23 –> 00:03:25 (C) That’s the name specifically?

00:03:25 –> 00:03:31 (B)It is really nice for these tools, because right now I have some of these in a drawer,

00:03:31 –> 00:03:32 where I’m storing clay…

00:03:32 –> 00:03:35 (C)Right (B)And you’re kind of looking for things, but a lot of these things are kinda

00:03:35 –> 00:03:36 sharp.

00:03:36 –> 00:03:37 (C)Yeah, yeah…

00:03:37 –> 00:03:40 (B)So I feel funny just rummaging through the drawer trying to find particular tools…

00:03:40 –> 00:03:41 (C)Well yeah…

00:03:41 –> 00:03:46 (B)You don’t wanna poke yourself.(C)I know…and it’s…and you want them on hand because

00:03:46 –> 00:03:50 you’re using them all the time…and like look at that, all the little texture plates

00:03:50 –> 00:03:58 fit in the back, it has a slot here, I actually… my acrylic plate that I have, that I use all

00:03:58 –> 00:04:03 the time, fits in here perfectly, but it also fits the new one that comes in the bead kit,

00:04:03 –> 00:04:08 so that’s where you would put your little acrylic piece…I like this one a little better

00:04:08 –> 00:04:17 ‘cause it’s bigger, but I’ve got bead reamers and all kinds of things, clay shapers.

00:04:17 –> 00:04:26 This tool here is one of their 5 in 1 tools, so it’s got the magnet in and it’s got

00:04:26 –> 00:04:35 the poker, but this also has the little…it’s got a ball stylus and an Exacto blade, but

00:04:35 –> 00:04:41 they have the little holes on the side here for that, to set those little parts in which

00:04:41 –> 00:04:43 is kinda cool.

00:04:43 –> 00:04:52 And then, it also has a spot…I put…you’re supposed to put those little design blocks…

00:04:52 –> 00:04:56 those purple design blocks for the Mokume gane set, they fit in there…I don’t use

00:04:56 –> 00:05:03 those very often, so I put in the…my razor blades, ‘cause that’s where I put those,

00:05:03 –> 00:05:06 and which is nice to have them handy, but you’re not worried about getting cut.

00:05:06 –> 00:05:13 So I just wanted to show you this, and show you how much stuff can fit in here, my ruler

00:05:13 –> 00:05:20 even fits in here somewhere…I figured it out, where did I put that, I don’t know,

00:05:20 –> 00:05:24 here maybe, and I’ve got palettes and everything.

00:05:24 –> 00:05:29 I just thought if I showed you all the stuff that would fit in here, it may look more interesting

00:05:29 –> 00:05:33 to you than when it was just on the shelf in the store.

00:05:33 –> 00:05:39 So I hope that was helpful for you, I hope you enjoyed meeting Bertha, we told lots of

00:05:39 –> 00:05:41 stories and talked about all kinds of stuff.

00:05:41 –> 00:05:46 And she went up to the…you got to see the Shannon Falls…and…

00:05:46 –> 00:05:52 (B)Yes, I did the Sea to Sky highway starting at Lighthouse Point…and yeah, Colorado,

00:05:52 –> 00:05:57 we have mountains, but we don’t really have oceans and bays, so it’s really nice to

00:05:57 –> 00:06:01 see it, and it’s beautiful up here and I highly recommend coming up here.

00:06:01 –> 00:06:05 (C)Yeah it’s really stunning, and you like to do photography and things like that too,

00:06:05 –> 00:06:06 right?

00:06:06 –> 00:06:10 So I’m sure now… with all your new photographs and things, you have some inspiration for

00:06:10 –> 00:06:14 some more jewelry and she got to sneak peek at what the next tutorial is…I’m not telling

00:06:14 –> 00:06:16 you, and…

00:06:16 –> 00:06:18 (B)It’s good, stay tuned.

00:06:18 –> 00:06:23 (C)It’s gonna be good, and we’ve had a lot of fun…she’s gotta get heading out

00:06:23 –> 00:06:27 to the airport…here, now I’m all done again, I had to finish, and she’s heading

00:06:27 –> 00:06:32 out to the airport and she’s heading back home, and it’s been a really nice visit

00:06:32 –> 00:06:33 with you.

00:06:33 –> 00:06:34 (B)Yes, I enjoyed it, thank you so much for inviting me in.

00:06:34 –> 00:06:37 (C)You’re very welcome, and you’re welcome anytime.
