hi everybody and welcome to my Unruly
Housewife channel today i have got a very
exciting video for you...it's an unboxing
video. Yes I ordered some claying things
from a place in Wales called ClayAround
and it's not a sponsored video i paid for
it myself and the stuff arrived and you will
now see a video of me unboxing it in my
pajama trousers and i will put a link
for ClayAround in the description down
below if you're interested in buying anything
Penny Vingoe who runs it is a lovely lady and
yeah on with the show
ok and here we go with the actual
unboxing and look as you can see i
haven't opened it yet
I blacked my address out, in case any of you
are serial killers and this parcel has
come all the way from Wales which isn't
actually very far away and it's gonna be
full of goodies i'm so excited... you see it
may not be too much fun watching me undo
this but it's authentic you can't deny that
ok here we go
it's very well wrapped
let's look inside
hey here's my receipt
now i have wanted one of these for such...
Ah! this, wait, before I start this is a
mystery object and we're going to talk
about this in another video so I'm going
to put that to one side so you saw it
for a second but we're talking about in
a different video
ok this is something I've wanted for a long
time and it's a Marxit and it's for
putting, well it's for all kinds of
measuring but it's particularly good
when you're chopping up canes and you're
putting canes together and you want
them all to be equal lengths and things like
that you can just push this down onto the
cane and it will make marks at these
intervals and presumably you could do some chunky
slices too with that but it goes 3
millimeter five-millimeter 7-millimeter
10 15 20 millimeter gaps and I
believe thats Donna Kato and erm as i
said I've wanted one of these for a long time
and it's got good weight to it as well
so it's not light - it'll stay
nicely on your desk like that what else
did I get? Ah yes, i got this (the end's
popped off) which is deco foil. Now
i got in gold because I think gold
is so pretty and it goes with a lot of
different colors and I've never used
foil before in anything I've made so I
think this is gonna be really
interesting and if i get the hang of it
and get reasonably good at it i will do
some sort of video, tutorial, or something
about it but that's really... yeah I'm
really up for having an experiment with
that so that's my Marxit and my
foil. What else have I got in here white Fimo I
was running out
Of white Fimo -that's no good is it? You
need white! Heh. Fimo Professional
it's pretty soft as you can see but it's
not as soft as Fimo Soft. Very very good
for caning, Fimo - i recommend it
I'm quite quite aren't I? I am kind of
overwhelmed because been waiting for a
while
ah now here's something I've been very
excited to get Kor Rollers and i'll see
if i can find something to try them out on
there, fortunately I've got some clay
here but unfortunately i put my pasta
machine out of the way so we could get
some light so we're trying it out in a very
strange situation, let's see if it works
these Kor Rollers look amazing and I've
wanted one for ages...
look at that! Isn't that good? I love that I'm
gonna try the other side with the other
one
do excuse the scrappy piece of clay, I really
didn't prepare for these so if they look
good
it's all about the rollers.Oh they're
excellent look at that! A bit of real variety
there for the patterns that i can use on
things i love those! Let's see what else
have we got next
Stampies! Now you might have noticed
there was a bit of an edit going on there because I
quickly went and I rolled this out again
I didn't think to have clay
prepared for this unboxing and so with
my pasta machine under the table
I just quickly rolled out that bit that
we did with the Kor Rollers again and here
are the Stampies now i don't know if
anybody is really going to be able to
get these for very long because i don't
think they're making them anymore but
you know
check it out, see if you can. Penny is selling
off some that she was using for
demonstrations so these are actually not
particularly clean. She warned they would be
stained and they were half price but
that was lucky for me right
cos I'm happy with that
so we'll just give them a little go
shall we?
this is just for me to brag what I've got
cos
as I say i'm not sure that you'll be able
to buy them. They're quite fun
they were made with one of those
machines
what is it? A 3d printer oh yeah oops she
did warn they'd be a bit dirty
i won't go through every
single one or that's gonna be kind of
dull for you i can see how they could be
fun and you can use them, you see, to build up
a pattern, you don't have to use them one
at a time. I love spirals let's see oh
Dave will love this one let's give it a spritz
look a nuclear symbol one that's the
sort of thing Dave likes I don't know
why - must be a boy thing huh? So anyway
I won't make you go through all of them
I'm really pleased with those and i'm
going to give them a bit of a scrub
cos as I say Penny did warn me she
doesn't just send you dirty stamps! and what else
have we got? This is so fun. Ah look at these...
these are flexible moulds - they're
made by Best Flexible Molds and this one
is called Country Garden they're hand cast
so they might be a bit thick to go
through some pasta machine but you know
don't talk yourself down they're
made by Penni Jo... or designed by
Penni Jo perhaps but they're Best Flexible
Molds and look at this one it's called
Country Garden and look at it it's so
pretty
I really really wanted to get these mats
i love that the design is small because
quite often you know the design can be
quite hefty on these mats and polymer
clayers do you make a lot of small
things it lends itself to jewelry and
stuff so i really wanted that and just
the variety you know there are some
kinds of of texture maps that we've all
got this one is a little bit unusual
i'm going to try and use it with my
piece of (oops!) my piece of violet
clay (nearly smashed my lamp then with the
rolling pin, let's see if it works. Whew!
You still work)... Honestly what am I like?
So give this a spritz
how can I be incompetent during an
unboxing? it's like I've taken incompetence
to a new level
I'm gonna roll it on see if that works
no that... I really messed that up hang on
I'll smoosh up my clay and give it one more
try
it's so fortunate that we have ClayAround
in this country because there are
so many things that people in America
take for granted being able to buy and
from Michael's or Joanne's it i don't
know from the various places that you
can buy them Hobby Lobby and a lot of
things are difficult to get here and
what Penny's done is thrown her weight behind
getting things for British polymer clayers
that otherwise are really quite
hard to source and you know she's got a
lovely little place in Wales and she
does a lot of things for the polymer
clay community - she has ClayDays once a
month and she has Community ClayAround
I think which is a gorgeous kind of
claying community where people can see
ideas and swap ideas so it's nice to be
able to support a business like that and
of course she supplied the mystery
object which were going to talk about in
another video
oh yeah that's really sweet
ok so i want to look into this more
and I shall use it in one of my future makes
future demonstrations so that's number one and
then I have another one of their moulds here
one of their texture sheets and this one
is called Spilled Buttons. I'll you guess
what that's going to look like before I
open it
and you guessed it it looks like spilled
buttons, aren't they sweet? So with my totally
inadequate piece of purple
clay
oh dear i'm going to give you a demo of
this and let's face it i know what you
lot are like you're gonna love it
you're gonna love the purple clay demo the
wobbly table etc
and as I said I find I'm better at just
pressing these down by hand than by
rolling because you can really get into
the pattern then can't you?
I'm looking around to see if I've got any
kind of mica powder that's
light-colored that we could use to
highlight the pattern but d'you know I
can't see one at the minute there you go I don't
think we're gonna need it
this is gonna be awesome. We'll be able to
see ok
oh that's gorgeous look I like that even
more than the country garden one look at
that spilled buttons. Isn't that lovely?
ok so they're my two texture moulds, or
texture sheets or mats or whatever you
want to call 'em. So I'm really thrilled with
those and i'll just show you there "Best
Flexible Molds" so there we have them. So
i have the two textures sheets which I'm
really excited about, can't wait, and I can't
wait to do this one properly
because it's a little more delicate. My Fimo
Professional...my Marxit tool...
I'm thrilled let's give that a go (I know I
didn't spritz it nevermind) no more
trying to measure you might say to
yourself "well can't she just use a ruler
to measure things out before she trims
them?" D'you know what? I'm rubbish
I try I'm 58 years old I can't use a
ruler. My Kor Rollers, very very
exciting and all those Stampies to play
with. Last but not least my gold foil
(sorry just giving you a quick run through
what we've got again). i am thrilled! Now I
really want to thank Penny from ClayAround

quickly and I really want to thank you
