until tonight!
I thought I would try my hand at some Sculpey before I got my
Art Clay (precious metal clay) in the mail...some day...the kit is on back order. I plan on using these pieces either as masters for some molds I want to try or as stamps themselves. I dont know how good they will turn out... I havent even given them time to dry yet. I used some dental tools and a small flat head screwdriver most of the time. I sculpted on some porcelain tile that I had laying around that normally I mix paint of for painting gaming miniatures (a retired hobby of late...to time consuming). The skull was fun to do. I will probably do another one some day that is more anatomically correct, but for now that one is good. The round ones I think I may make buttons out of. Do you think hand made 99.9% silver buttons would sell? They might also be interesting if I get into the enamel aspects of Art Clay. There is also a snail shell. Duh! Of course I had to do something snail related! Please tell me what you think and let me know any tips that might help me in the future! Anything to help me not waste any of my precious (and expensive) Art Clay!

awesome start! good luck..
Found you through your etsy post today. Very, very nice blog!
Thank you so much!
using polymer as a test mold was the best thing I ever did to practice sculpting before attempting with PMC! I also made reverse molds so I could make several if needed. I'd love to see the hippo in fine silver!
