Studio Project: Mica Powder Samplers on Polymer Clay

In this video we'll make samplers for a selection of mica powders. Studio Project: Mica Powder Samplers Amazon links are affiliate links. I may earn a small commission from qualifying orders. All other links are simply links to sources. I encourage you to check your local craft store, such as Michael’s, JoAnn’s, Hobby Lobby, etc, to see if they have the supplies you’re looking for. Some items may only be available online. In addition to any specific links I’ve given blow, here are some other sources I use: https://polymerclaysuperstore.com https://www.madmicas.com/ (LOVE these guys’ mica powders!) https://www.sculpey.com/ Useful Items for working with Polymer Clay: • Ceramic Tile: I recommend going to your local Lowes, Home Depot, or such, where you can just pick up one or two tiles in whatever size you want. When ordering tile online, you usually have to order tile in a multi pack, like this one: https://amzn.to/3NnoYaH which is great if you’re going to have a use for that many tiles. If not, just check out your local hardware store. • Polymer Clay Blades: https://amzn.to/4dHtr2H or https://www.sculpey.com/products/61-sculpey-super-slicer-set-w-comfort-handles?_pos=1&_sid=00dbe4e77&_ss=r&_fid=acb401ef1 • Silicone Mat: https://amzn.to/3Nlm5XM • Round Cutters: https://amzn.to/3BJ6I9i or https://www.sculpey.com/collections/products-tools/products/42-premo-graduated-cutter-set-circle • Polymer Clay • Sculpey Premo White: https://amzn.to/4h08WRI or https://www.sculpey.com/products/20-premo-sculpey • Sculpey Premo Black: https://amzn.to/4ewK4zn or https://www.sculpey.com/products/20-premo-sculpey?variant=44199350305018 • A small scrap of your choice • Mica Powders.

Much cheaper than ordering online. • Pasta or Polymer Clay Roller machine: https://amzn.to/4gZruS9 • Push Dispenser: https://amzn.to/4dIVKhg • Small Spray Bottles: 2 to 4 oz: https://amzn.to/4eYuQTr • An oven; toaster oven or conventional oven. https://amzn.to/3NrIXVy • Hot Pads: https://amzn.to/3BFJxNb • Silicone trivet: https://amzn.to/4eVHp1O • UV Resin: https://amzn.to/4eGvZiL • UV Lamp: https://amzn.to/483yXLL • A Gel-type Cyanoacrylate Glue, like Superglue, Gorilla Glue, etc.: https://amzn.to/4dKNmxC A huge variety of mica powders can also be found on Amazon: https://amzn.to/488nN8O

Whataburger!

 

Whataburger!

I talked about the founder of Whataburger on October 8, the date of the founder Harmon Dobson’s birthday, and one of my viewers commented that there was a new Whataburger near them; what should they try? Here is my reply:

Whataburger!

It depends on what you like! Also, some items may be different from store to store, but I like just about any iteration of a bacon cheeseburger.

They often have "limited time" offerings, and the current one of those is a "Bacon Blaze Jalapeño Double," a bacon cheeseburger with jalapeño peppers and a special sauce. They also have a "Sweet and Spicy Bacon Burger" featuring a tangy barbecue sauce.

There are several chicken sandwiches, with the chicken grilled or fried, and salads.

I see breakfast items on the menu, too.

They have shakes and malts in the standard flavors, and often have a special flavor of shakes or malts for a limited time. I believe the current limited time shake flavor is Dr. Pepper If I weren't trying to whip my blood labs back into shape, I'd go get me one of those Dr. Pepper shakes right now!

For anyone trying to mind their carbohydrates, though, one can order any sandwich "Bunless."

Check out their website at Whataburger (dot) com for more about the menu.

Whataburger also has a loyalty program, where one can order ahead, and/or earn points on purchases.

Oh, and let's not forget the merch! Whataburger has branded merchandise! Way cute stuff available in the Whataburger theme.
