Day # 70
Theme: Spirit Challenge: Make a crystal/mineral using polymer clay (or clay of your choice) (Day 1)
Time spent: 2 hours+


Comments: yeah so looked up a few polymer clay tutorial videos. I don't have a pasta machine like so many use. Also my polymer clay was bought like 10 years ago on sale ...so once I started trying to knead it it was actually crumbly!! Took me over two hours to knead & make this. burning_eyes first pic is an hour and a half in. I was doing this on my bedroom floor for the space & solidity!
2nd pic is my done-for-today! rofl
Tomorrow it's shaping & baking! And maybe painting...

Wow! Incredible job getting that clay to work so well
I once made the mistake of getting fimo clay years ago. Never again! Even when new, that was the most difficult clay to knead. It’s so awful. Lol @ “soft” on the wrapper. Pffffttt
I switched to one of the Sculpey clays. Sooo much nicer to work with. Even when it gets hard… it’s still not as bad as fimo. XD (I spoke with an older artist after I had that experience and her reaction after I said “fimo” was enough for me. She explained that it wasn’t a fluke, fimo sucks, and directed me to which Sculpey to go with. XD So I never gave it another chance)
I’m amazed you got that clay to work! Especially at its age. You must be Superman. XD (Supergirl)
Lol I just ended up doing it in smallish chunks & rolling a bit, using my ruler to scrape it off the rolling pin & rinse and repeat a few times & then suddenly it was playdoh clay! 🤷♀️
Yeah I got a few on sale at €1 each. (Probably because weird colours & old & then I left them for years! I just figured I'd paint them & then I never used them!) This is lavender, I also have a brown & a pale yellow. I have green & blue from the flying tiger shop too 🤔
I need to look up something to do with them - e.g. skulls for jar lids, or vines for a magic book cover or something 🤷♀️
