Question about earrings and weight
Yup. Figured I'd have to start using something in addition, like glass. I'd

I would also suggest something like Lazertran, or T-shirt transfers, but I

Question about baking 2 different clays
Both clays say 275 F. I will go ahead and try it. I sure hope there are no

Question about baking 2 different clays
Hi, I've got a bunch of Sculpey III blocks and scrap, but I don't use it.
