You probably don't know who I am because I never had to ask any questions. I just Googled and found every answer to every question I ever had about polymer clay! From molding, baking, buffing, baking...whatever! You guys knew it all!! A couple of months ago I started playing around with PC and...

I've worked with clay before but I mainly did inlay and sculpting. Now I got a pasta machine to try out some other techniques. I'm using Premo clay. When I condition it according to directions I've found on the web (putting the clay though the machine up to ten times on the thickest setting) it...

I used this product on a Clay table that I purchased. The cleaning instructions said to use a sealer. My local crafts store sold me this product. It has turned my table white!!! It has been 30 minutes. What am I to do? Is this normal. Is the product defective. I am so upset. Can I remove...

Just how much can you leech before the clay isn't usable? Started beading with Sculpey III after leeching it once and it was still way too soft, especially the purple and mint green colors - just trying to pierce a bead even when left to cool down would cause the whole thing to squash. They're now...

Hello. I'm new to the group. I once worked as a scupltor for a miniatures company in the 70's and 80's... lead soldiers and fantasy 25mm minis. Just getting started in Polymer Clay. I mostly sculpt figurines of people (working from photos). See examples on My Web site:

In the polymer clay album at the url below I have a few new froggie beads to share. Two are a style requested by Candace, those would be the leaf hoppers in orange. Next, I need to modify the leaf itself and then put a frog facing the stem end. I think they would look pretty nice on lentils, too,...

I would love to create my own goldfish bowl or even garden pond. I am happy to find plastic top / lid for the bowl but I want to fill it up (about 3/4 full) with something the will dry hard but clear to simulate water. Also any ideas for fish Thanks again C x

Is it safe to use your oven after you've cooked polymer-clay in it? Also, can you cook the polymer-clay in a gas oven? psnfla1

Where do you guys get your high-grit sandpaper for tumbling/sanding? -- Barbara

We live above 7000 feet in New Mexico. When cooking food, it does make a difference, mostly due to the decreased boiling point of water (less than 200 degress Fahrenheit at this altitude). Has anyone ever baked polymer at a high altitude? Does it require a lower temperature, or perhaps longer or...

This sculpture will be a early Christmas gift to my sister. She is a snowman fanatic, and when I saw this project on the sculpey website I knew she would love it. You can view it he http://www.mlux2.com/phpbb2/othercrafts/IMAG0017 It isn't the exact design the person who made up the project...

There is, or was, a person who would pop in every so often to tout his/her online store which offers things that can be beaded or wrapped in polyclay, like pens, kaleidoscopes and mirrors, etc.. I had the link at one time and it went away last October in a computer crash. Does anyone remember who...

Hello, I just found this group and joined up! I think I see some people I know here, so that's good. I wonder if someone can clue me about how this group works... is there a leader or an owner? Does everybody just post willy-nilly, or are there some rules or parameters to be followed? Any...
