Would love to hear what you think :)

I made these keychains for my friends and I attending a book event in June. Im going to paint them and seal them this week. I want to make some more to give to my favorite Authors.

Any advice for a mat? I got an acrylic board like recommended but my clay always sticks to it when I roll it out. I use alcohol like suggested for cleaning. (Pic is before cleaning) Any advice is appreciated.

I used Sculpey clay colored with mica powder.

I made it with grey sculpey premo and then painted over with acrylic paint

Hes about to go lay in a bed of cornstarch in the oven😊I rarely ever make people and im really proud of him, especially the hoodie.

I made this little Fourth Wing inspired clay painting and tried out some wire wrapping as a frame for the first time

I’m making an art doll of an amphibious original species of mine, and I’ve been wondering if cosclay would work for the fin membranes? I want them to be pretty stiff, but still poseable. The fin bone things are also made of cosclay btw.

Not opposed to using stretchy fabric, but I don’t want them floppy (and I’d worry about the paint flaking off or making the fabric hard and unmovable) less

These are my first keycaps,and I am very happy with the way they look because I am a newbie at this.

First time using polymer clay and it was fun!

I will probably turn them into fridge magnets but the peas in a pod will be a keychain!

**Let me start off by saying that I know the pieces in the photo are ceramic and not polymer - I just really like the way it looks**

I had to put my sweet old cat down on the 10th and I did some polymer clay paw prints on her last day. I was going to paint them solid and put gloss on them, but I came across these when looking something up for a different project, and I’m wondering if anyone knows a trick to achieve this look with polymer clay. Specifically how it looks like the color is deposited and almost beaded up within the piece and not touching the edges… I’ve tried painting some samples and then rubbing the dry paint off the edges, which is okay, but still* *not quite right. Any suggestions?

My clay arrived today and of course I had to get straight into it. I'm quite happy with the results. I didn't expect to be able to pull it off. However, I'm aware they're very flawed.

Hi!! I’m trying to make the main characters of a show I like out of polymer clay but I think I’ll need to use wire armature. I’ve never used it before and I don’t know any technical stuff about it, how to work well with it, what size to get, good brands, idk lol!! If anyone has any advice for me I’d really appreciate it. I’ve already made one of the characters which I attached a pic of below. He didn’t need wire, but the others def will. I also put a pic of him with a size reference as I wanted to characters to have the same size/size difference they have to each other like in the show if that makes sense and if that helps figure out a good wire size. I’ll also attach a photo of the other characters I’d like to make if anyone has more specific advice in regards to making a character, though I’m planning on making the purple bunny (Jax) next. I’d appreciate any help and thank you all!!

Yes, I did get light bluey blue paint on my prayer plant in the process 😆

What do you guys think? Relatively new to polymer so any tips are welcome 🙏
