Terms for using my tutorials
When using my tutorials or techniques explained in my tutorials all I need is that you say or write "Inspired by Talty" somewhere on the description, that's all I'm asking for. A link back to my gallery or tutorial is appreciated, but not necessary. You can make anything in my tutorials for personal or commercial purposes (yes, that means you can sell what you make) but you can't claim these techniques as your own. No redistribution, reposting or repacking of my tutorials, images, text or any part of them is allowed. They can't be translated to other languages without my permission (ask me about it). FREE TUTORIAL, NEVER TRY TO SELL IT.
Sorry for the extremely large file!
I swear, it seems like my tutorials keep getting bigger and bigger...~thinkpastel had a wonderful idea and used circle templates (the kind used for drafting) instead of the washer! [link] She says that she can work any scale up to 1:4, so you can try that too!
~HanaClayWorks tutorial: [link] Background brushes [link] by ~Nana-viciouS I finally finished this tutorial! It feels like it took me forever
I hope this is understandable
I added many photos and less text, it seemed like a good idea but now I'm not sure... maybe I didn't explain enough 
I think it's implicit, but anyway: the measures I gave are only for reference! Don't feel restrained by my instructions - use a washer of any size you want! Also, I don't have cutters (yet) but use any cutter you want and make plates with beautiful shapes!
Please show me what you can do using this tutorial! I would really really love to see your plates with or without food
Go crazy! Plates made using my tutorial:

what type of paint is good to use with clay?
I remember in elementary school we did clay dinosaurs and the paint that I used 15 years ago is STILL sticky on the piece.
What is your recommendation for paint?
π: 0 β©: 1
Anything you put on clay, make sure it's water based. Oil based paints or glazes will never dry
I use a kind of cheap, acrylic, water base paints. They dry quickly

water based, got it.

podre hacerlo con plastilina? trate de hacerlo con maizena como en un tutorial aqui pero quedan unas grietas >:
π: 0 β©: 1
el problema de hacerlo con maizena es que cuando se seca se encoge, y por eso te quedaron las grietas... cuando se encogiΓ³ probablemente se quedΓ³ pegado a la rondana (o lo que hayas usado de base) y como no se pudo encoger parejamente, se rompiΓ³.
Tal vez puedas intentarlo igual con la rondana, pero cΓΊbrela con un poco de crema para evitar que se pege la maizena y
PerdΓ³n por tardarme tanto en contestar xD

First thing, let me say thank you for this tutorial! It was incredibly helpful. All of my plates's attempts have failed miserably, until I found your tips
Secondly, I didn't have any washer handy when I tried this tutorial, so I looked around in my shop for something similar 
I found this tool . I unfortunately have no idea of how it is called in english 
Hope you won't mind my intrusion 
Thanks again for the great tutorial

I'm so happy to know I helped you
I love that you found an alternative tool, I'll update the comments to add your idea
You're welcome, and thanks for your nice comments

I just have a quick question. Say we made something that needed a plate and used this teqnique and then sold it somewhere like on etsy is that not okay? I hav'nt I was just wondering
π: 0 β©: 1
It's perfectly fine, I don't mind! Use any information I give you however you want to, actually I would feel honored if something you make using this tutorial or my other tutorials gets sold
π: 0 β©: 1
ok! I was just asking because I want to try out making mini food with polymer clay and I make other kinds of jewelry so I thought if I did start experimenting with it it might be cool to sell what I make along with my other jewelry! I could definatly show you what I made but Would I have to link back to you on the etsy site? Because wouldnt that be like showing the people how to make it so they don't have to buy mine? I mean I would DEFINATLY link back to you if I put a picture of it on here but on the etsy site? Please don't take this as my being rude! but I'm just wondering
π: 0 β©: 1
I understand you and you don't have to link back from your etsy site
π: 0 β©: 1
Okay!!! Thanks!
but if I posted a picture on here I would DEFINATLY link back!
