Old Fimo by
Fenrir Enterprises
This newsgroup is abnormally quiet lately...
Forgot just how tough original Fimo is to condition. Gave up on trying
to condition it (it hasn't partially cured, it's just /tough/, so I
can't just get rid of it...) and chopped it into tiny bits, and have
it coated in Sculpey diluent. So I'll have...

New here and new to clay by
mermaidscove_com
Hi,
Actually if you like colors and playing with clay is fun, you are
artistic! :)
You only need to sand, polish or seal if you want to. Sealing is
considered a good idea if you use metallic powders or leafing foils but
not needed with straight clay. If you sand and polish you get a smooth
shiny...

Pasta machine motor--worth the $ ? by
TheDormouse
I was wanting some opinions on whether or not I should get a motor for
my new pasta machine. I used to have a Trattorina, which (as far as I know)
can't be fitted w/ a motor, so I have never worked w/ one. Is it worth the
extra money, or should I save the money and buy some other gadget? How...

Color Mixing article by
Crafty Claud
One of the past issues of Polymer Cafe had a fabulous article on using
the Pantone Color codes for mixing clay using the CMYK/RGB formulas.
Might anyone recall which issue that was...I've gone through my
magazine binder in a frenzy, going page by page thru each issue looking
for it, and just my...

PC and Stamping? by

Hi folks, just REJOINED here after long hiatus, recently made a Arm
Band with a Gecko stamped into it and am REHOOKED ;-) Bought a load of

make duplicate...

Sources for clay? by
Jono
Hi all I am relatively new to poly clay and was wondering where some of
the best sources are for clay that is easy on the wallet? I do mostly
figures and caricatures and have been using regular Sculpey from
Wally-World, which is the only type they have here. I have to leech it
out first because...

Best "handling" polymer? Fimo got complaints! by
[email protected]
My little boy has been expertly creating with nonhardening modelling
clay for years. We gave him some Fimo awhile ago and it was eventually
rejected as being too hard to work with---I recall we
pre-softened/worked it for him. Is all heat-hardening polymer clay
harder to handle than nonhardening?...
