Over the years a common review of my videos brings up the material I love the most. Model Magic is a modeling clay

So many people over the years have asked questions about using this clay that I have come up with some popular questions and answers.

Q: What is Model Magic?

Glancing at this packing you might think this will too child oriented for any practical use and to a degree this is correct. Using the clay straight from the package leads to major problems such as uneven texture and drying or worse cracking.

Q. How do I fix texture and cracking?

To remedy this I use a spritzer bottle filled with water to spray my clay as I am sculpting to keep it hydrated. I will also keep some in a plastic zip-lock bag and spray water in when it begins to dry. By controlling the hydration of the clay it allows for the clay to dry evenly and when it has fully dried (about 4 days on average) usually it has an even texture that is hard and sustainable.

Q. What can I make with Model Magic?

Just about anything can be made with model magic, if you want to see pictures of some of the projects I have created take a look at my Pinterest Board -https://www.pinterest.com/alicearisuheart/model-magic-crafting/

Marc Jacobs Blaquer Mascara

So I may be the last person in the word right now to tell everyone what I think of Marc Jacobs beauty but slowly I'm making my way through the products. http://www.sephora.com/lash-lifter-gel-volume-mascara-P379421 The first product I want to talk about is the Marc Jacobs Blaquer Mascara, this product is a tubing mascara and builds up amazing volume. The wand is triangular in circumference which is really great for getting to all of my lashes, it's also very long which grabs most of them at once and since it's a tubing mascara it would need to. My eye lashes are super black and don't smudge or run and I have extremely runny eyes that just pour tears out of my outer corner whenever they are even slightly irritated. So lucky me, this mascara is yet another 25$ way too expensive product but honestly it's great. Here's the down side I do not recommend putting mascara on the top and bottom at the same time. Some mascara's don't mind touching together but sin...

AAH - Art Sketch Books That I Have Used 11/20/21 Currently I am using a sketch book called the Artist Line sketch book. This can be purchased from Dollar Tree though sometimes it is out of stock. Apparently this is a popular item because recently I have not been able to buy one near me. I found some in stock at a Dollar Tree about an hour away though so I purchased more stock. I still have 3 books that have not been touched and my dog destroyed two lol. So far I have completed about 7 journals considering my dogs destroyed two. I really like these books mainly because they are small and easy to carry around. There are only 50 pages they are hot pressed and are best used with pencil or ball point pen. Considering almost all of my sketches are done in pencil or pen these are the best bang for my buck. There is another line of sketch pads that Dollar Tree offers and I have tried most of them. So far these are my favorite but I will show off the other drawing pads later ...

Graphic 45 Mother Goose Tag

Here is my first blog post for graphic 45's design team cast call. This tag is using the Mother Goose 8x8 collection. I also cut pieces from the Prima nursery rhyme collection journal card book. I made a pocket with the journal card and fussy cut some flowers to make a cluster on one side. I love the way this tag came out because I have admired the work of many youtubers and bloggers who make amazing work with graphic 45 papers and I am happy to see that I can also create something amazing. I also filmed a youtube video that I will link as soon as I am done editing it so everyone can see the process.
