Amanda, you can make a sandwich of polymer clay using another clay called
Magic Sculp, which is an epoxy mix. The Magic Sculp dries in a couple of
hours without having to bake, but can go in the over first. I have tried to
work as follows:
1) Create a underlying surface with Magic Sculp, making it as thin as
possible. Let air dry for a day.
2) Next day, add other details with polymer clay and bake the whole thing
together.

Now, I'm sure you will aks me: why don't I make the entire thing with Magic
Sculp: because although it is very sturdy and almost unbreakable when used a
little thicker, when used thinly it can be brittle, so the polymer clay
makes it so that it cannot be broken. Also because the texture quality of
the polymer clay is much nicer to work with finer details and ornamentation.
