\"New<\/a>Video #690:<\/span> Along with these eight new Premo Sculpey Colors for 2015, two colors have also been discontinued… Denim and Navy.<\/span><\/strong> <\/p>\n

In this video I will share with you the new Premo Sculpey Colors for 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2 new regular colors in the Premo line are Wisteria and Periwinkle. Wisteria is a soft Fuchsia based Purple… and Periwinkle is a pretty Purpley Blue. There is no color shift between baked and unbaked samples of these clays.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coincidently, two other Premo Sculpey colors have been discontinued… Denim and Navy. I can’t help but wonder if this is an “out-with-the-old-and-in-with-the-new” strategy from Polyform.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are also 2 new Pearl clays, that are very lovely. Sunset Pearl is a bright Coral Pearl color, and Graphite Pearl is a silvery Gray-Black Pearl… just like pencil graphite. These clays have high mica particle content and are good using with mica shift techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, there are 3 new glitter clays. Rose Gold Glitter, White Gold Glitter and Yellow Gold Glitter. They are all somewhat translucent based clays with silver and gold glitters in them, each with a different base color. Rose Gold is a Coppery base, very similar to the man-made gemstone called Goldstone. White Gold Glitter has an Old Hollywood look of vintage Silverleaf. And Yellow Gold Glitter has a golden shimmer that is very pretty. They can be mixed in different combinations to create Champagne Gold and other pretty metallic derivatives. These clays look even more metallic when they are baked, than what they look like in the package.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lastly, 1 new color, which actually should be in a Faux Stone category, is the new Opal. This is a translucent clay mixed with large flake Opalescent flakes that is translucent when baked. (You can easily make this clay yourself, using Premo White Translucent clay and Iridescent Glitter Flakes often known as Buffalo Snow.) Because the large flakes tends to “stick out” when you cut this “color” into shapes, it not suited for cane making. The protrusions would\u00a0 leave drag marks in the cane when slicing through it. However, this new Opal clay is suited for making beads and cabochons… as well as for doing inlay techniques.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are several new products by Sculpey for 2015 which I will share with you in upcoming videos, including the new Colored Liquid Polymer Clays – Silver and Gold.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n
