stamping into clay?
Just watched the first lesson in Wilna Furstenberg's new class on Craftsy - it's Wilna at her artsy best! She stamped into air dry clay with rubber stamps; I want to try it with a clear polymer stamp, and I'm trying to remember what you use as a release agent so the stamp is less likely to stick in what you're stamping into. Does anyone remember?

That's what came to my mind, too. Then I got thinking wouldn't that make it more sticky? LOL

I would think something like a powder. It's similar to when you use a cookie cutter, you dip it in flour.

That makes sense - perhaps I'll try my chalk bag.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Re: stamping into clay?
I made my little clay frames this morning, and did swipe my chalk bag over my stamps before pressing them into the clay - although I don't think I needed to worry. Now the hardest part is waiting 24 hours for them to dry, before I can put them on a page.
Thanks all for your thoughts. I, too, still think embossing ink - but perhaps that was for making an impression into something else.

Re: stamping into clay?
From what I'm reading online at a variety of sources... if it's air dry clay, you just roll it out flat and then stamp on it...
I used to use some polymer clay and stamp on that... and I might have used embossing ink...
I might try some air-dry clay for some embellishments or ornaments, though... sounds like a fun idea...

Don't know about clay, but I do know you use embossing ink when stamping into heated embossing powder.
