I have made faces with sculpey and hands and shoes and created Santa's with dowels and made clothes for them. It is fun to play with. I buy flesh colored for doll faces. Why not buy one package and play with it, bake it, and see if you like it. Enjoy yourself, let yourself create! In the link below you will see what people with lots of practice can make. Enjoy looking at it. I had such a laugh. The woman is very good. Here's my Santa with flesh colored sculpey and a life size daffodil with yellows mixed with translucent. BB

BB you do extremely fine work. Congratulations. Back in the late 70's and early 80's when my oldest sister was still here she used Sculpey all the time. I don't think Fimo had been invented or marketed at that time.
this photo is a clothespin doll she bought and gave me one Christmas. She gave me others - all made by someone up in Longwood Illinois. I can't find them but when I do I'll post them. Raggedy Ann, Girl Scout, the playboy bunnie (with tiny "cheeks" in the back with her puff tail!! |

| "I have noticed some projects using it and they seem to really sfascinate me but, honestly how hard and how expensive is it? I would like to try it but not too sure." Fimo isn't hard to work with at all, and unlike regular ceramics doesn't require the use of a kiln, you can actually bake it yourself at home, there's a good article I put a link to in the link field that does a great job of covering the basics of how to make your own fimo beads, check that out if you're curious. |
