I've been working on tons of polymer Halloween and fall charms. I can't wait to get them all finished. Its my most favorite holiday of the year. I've also been adding tons of new stuff to my supply of clay and tools. I'll do a post with how I do storage of my clay (which is kinda messy but it's storage nonetheless) and also how I tote around my tools and everything when it's not spread out on the table in my living room. That will probably happen after Halloween. :) Happy trick or treating. I've been working on some dragons recently for my mother and some of her co-workers. I took these photos on a very sunny day so it was difficult not to have too much of a glare. The red and green dragon are going to be sold 10-15 dollars. Bottle charmsKEY CHAINSFood charmsCute animals/objectsEtc, charmsPolymer clay is clay that is molded/sculpted and then baked in the oven according to packaging instructions to harden. Polymer clay does not air dry and has to be baked to harden. Most polymer clay can be bought at any local craft store. There are many brands of polymer clay with different pliability, texture etc. etc. The brand I mainly use is Sculpey III brand. It tends to be softer as compared to the more expensive brands. There are many techniques to sculpt with polymer clay and many can be mastered with a few attempts. If you decide to work with polymer clay the biggest advice I can give is practice. Each time you will improve and learn more about this medium.
