I was all set to go out to Michaels and buy myself a Kemper clay gun, only to find that they don't stock those anymore. They had one from Pro Arts, and another one that was plastic. Anyone else here have any experience with those, or recommendations for better products? Thanks.

The one I remembered as "from Pro Arts" at Michaels turned out to be by Loew Cornell. And it was TERRIBLE. When I finally gave up and started to clean it, and then examined it again (because it was weirdly difficult to clean), I found out that only the last inch on either end of the barrel had...

This is one of those "duh" moments! I rarely check the homepage of my ISP, and I usually ignore the offers they send by email. I'm glad I finally checked, because they offer a free picture album! (And I'm working on the free web page.) I don't know the storage limitation, but I've posted a few...

Hi, I just started with polymer clay trying to do some image transfers. My clay is browned on the back side...the transparent is orange! Is my oven too hot or am I baking too long or ??? Thanks, Mary

I'm ready to get started in polymer clay, but I have a few questions (sorry if they seem ignorant) - I do plan on buying some books that will hopefully also answer these questions, but any help is appreciated: Does the clay change color (get lighter, darker, etc.) if it is baked properly? Will...

Hi Some of my sculptures are painted with acrylics after baking & glazed with gloss or matte varnish (also acrylics) depending on where it does & doesn't need to be shiny.
