Question about Clay.
Hey hey folks! Recently started crafting again and bought some modelling airdry clay from my local shop and I've had some issues with it, the clay itself was fine but it's a texture thing. The clay drying on my hands when crafting and my fingers touching, the feel of the clay when dry, I've never been someone who had issues with texture of anything but this set my skin on edge, was just trying to paint the clay and i had to throw it all out, i just can't stand touching the clay so i was wondering if someone could point me towards a different (and affordable) type of clay I was looking at polymer clay you can put in the oven but there are so many brands and types I got a little overwhelmed by the available choices. To explain what i do, i bought some action figures and make weapons and armour for them and also dioramas / houses and mostly for props and the armour i like using clay for extra details so it needs to be a somewhat lightweight clay that doesn't dry to heavy. I've been looking around and see the usual but that all tends to be quite pricey (As crafting supplies usually are) So was wondering if anyone here could point me into a direction. Thanks in advance!
