Tuesday discussion will be how to prevent moonies or white marks in cooked polymer clay

Moonies, white marks on cooked clay. Every artist me included despise them when sculpting a doll. Sometimes they can be repairable or not, depends on how many you have. Unless you want them and think they have given a cool look. Then this wouldn't be for you. Next Tuesday I will be answering your questions on moonies and will be sharing with you how I have learned to prevent having them. I have not had a moonie or white marks in years and I mean years. I wanted to get these pictures up sooner while the sun was still bright but I didn't make it. No moonies in this piece of cooked clay. It took me a long time to find what was going on and why. The example in picture is straight translucent clay no white has been added.  I will be sharing with all of you next tuesday my solution. Hope to see many of you there.
Have a wonderful evening everyone. Hugs

Update still moving along with my ball jointed doll

I wanted to share what I have been doing with my ball jointed doll. I haven't been able to spend enough hours with it this week due to class's I give. 
I also would like to say this with my style of making bjds. I may not make them as others I honestly don't know. And I say this because I'm the type of person I love to figure things out for myself. I learn much faster when I think things out and then make a mistake. We all are different and we must do what works for each of us. When I was making porcelain dolls it was my whole starting point of learning and expanding onto many different things. So, I already had a little knowledge with ball jointed, but I never had enough experience. I feel even today experience has no end in any kind of medium we choose to use. For many years I have been wanting to create for myself polymer clay to look and feel like porcelain. By incorporating the wax I can now have a much thinner layer of clay that now gives me a translucent look.

Setting the eyes lots of pictures

Are you ready ok here we go! You will see by learning how to make a hollow head.  You won't be limited to what you can do or use.  No more concerns with the heat from your oven.  At this stage my doll head will never go in oven when doing a ball jointed doll. If not a ball jointed I still would make a hollow head. But the whole doll will be completely cooked then I would do the eyes.

A very common question I would like to share smoothing your clay

A very common question I get asked a lot is how do I get my clay so smooth? To start off with lets just take the question right to the beginning of sculpting. I have seen many students they want to start smoothing way to early into there project. To start smoothing you should be finished sculpting all the raw clay into your sculpture. I have tried so many products to smooth and I'm going to share what I found that did not work for me. Remember if anyone does different it's not wrong for anyone it's all about what works only for YOU.
I don't use baby powder this got into my raw clay and when cooked I had white marks. No not moonies it was powder, Found out that baby powder is to fine and if your clay has some good oil going through it then it can get trapped and build up. No talcum powder either.
Plain 100% Corn Starch with no aluminum. Corn starch works with your dry soft paint brush. Corn starch will just keep rolling around the surface. With a very light touch keep going over the same spot until it's satin smooth. Now your piece will have a very smooth feel to it and it's ready to be cooked.
I never use baby oil it always leaves my clay tacky and dirty. I don't ever use smoothing oils for clay, worked just like baby oil for me that is. If I ever needed to use an oil it would be coconut oil. Tiny tiny amount. But the way I sculpt I don't need to put oil on it to smooth, the corn starch is all I need. Also make sure before you cook that your clay doesn't have big dips in the clay. Uneven. This will take you into more work and can discourage you with your piece of work. Most important take your time. Sometimes in one area I can work on it for days. Sculpting is therapy let it do the work not you. Enjoy every stroke of movement with your clay.
