Hi all this is my first post to this group hope I find everyone in good cheer

don't let the Spammers kill yet another group just ignore there junk.

I'm pretty new to using Polymer clays but have been using other clays for some time
after using polymers i'm never looking back to the old stuff.

i have a few questions to put to the group
1 ) has anyone got a good list of sites that will help me learn more about this medium

2 ) does the group alow for Binaries such a Jpegs to be uploaded so i can show off
some of my pieces

I'd recommend using a free online photoalbum service. Yahoo has one.

I keep hearing about something called "Sculpey" is this stuff any good compaired to
such as FIMO ?
what are the major differences.

Sculpey III comes in many colors and is a very soft clay that's not
very durable when baked. I wouldn't use it on its own for anything I
wanted to last. It's okay to practice with if you don't like FIMO's
firmness. Premo is made by the same company and I prefer it. It's
softer than FIMO, but stiffer than Sculpey. Some colors are softer
than others and may need to be leeched a bit, but overall I like the
consistency. If it gets too soft from overworking it I let it cool
for a bit. It's much sturdier than Sculpey III when baked.

Has anyone got any stuff that they want to show off I love looking at new original stuff

hope I havn't found this group at the moment of it's death because it would be a crying
shame to let the Spammers win

Hmm, I don't see a lot of spam on this group relative to others I
participate in, there just hasn't been a lot of general posting, which
is why I figured I'd delurk and help out.
