He is a pottery artist himself and has designed many wooden pattern rollers for use with earthen clays.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">He has now ventured into acrylic rollers that can be used with polymer clay and PMC.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The rollers are tiny 5cm x 10mm with very deep and detailed continuous patterns.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Rick currently carries 41 pattern rollers and 191 stamps.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The patterns are wonderfully detailed, with geometric, botanical, nautical and lots of other fantastic and very usable designs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Each roller and stamp is carved out individually with a CNC machine. The actual process of creating a roller is stamp is very precise, but also time consuming.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I show examples of 20 different roller patterns and 20 different stamps in samples of Souffle polymer clay.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">When using the rollers and stamps, you should first wet them with water to keep clay from sticking.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Stamp patterns are approximately 1cm x 1cm and highly detailed. They are deeply etched and cut away from the edges so they won&#8217;t leave &#8216;stamp rings&#8217; or marks around the edges when stamped into clay.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">These stamps are far crisper, deeper, and more detailed than any rubber stamp that I&#8217;ve seen on the market.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">These KorTools Stamps are great for imprinting onto beads, as I show in the video.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I also demo how to use the Palm Frond Roller on a sheet of polymer clay.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">These stamps and rollers are a little bit on the expensive side at $9.95 per roller and $3.95 per stamp&#8230; but in my opinion, they are well worth the price for quality, usability and uniqueness of designs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The number of designs and the higher price means that your pieces will be much more unique and you won&#8217;t see everyone with the same design as you.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><a name=\"video\"><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XAhyfJi7WKQ?rel=0\" width=\"575\" height=\"323\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Etsy: <a href=\"http:\/\/tidd.ly\/1a61b455\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external external_icon\">Kor-Tools Products<\/a><\/span>**<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=826\">Forty Texture Ideas for Polymer Clay<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=19013#video\">Related Video: Rustic Textures Inspire<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=17468#video\">New Sculpey Flexible Texture Sheets<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Do you have any suggestions for videos on tips, techniques or products you would like to learn more about?
