I keep notes in list form everywhere, notepads full of it. One of my lists has weird clay trivia:

• Premo Alizarin Crimson has speckles in it. You can see this in this rose cane made with it
• Submerging clay items with translucent in them, in ice water right out of the oven really DOES seem to brighten and clarify the translucent. No clue why
• Yellow and black clay does not make darker or saddened yellow. It makes olive green. To make a saddened yellow use a browny-grey
• Liquid clay, a transfer medium, is much more useful as a clay glue, top coat and icing maker
• Baking some types of magnets decreases their strength
• Hot glue, the magic of crafts, doesn’t work well with clay. Use epoxy or super glue instead
• Clay tastes awful
• You can add a few drops of oil to soften stiff clay. A few drops of scented oil will soften AND scent clay

Any other weirdness you’ve noticed?
