LOL
All kidding aside now--- This is a GREAT product esp. for children. I just took care of a little boy--only 2 years old for 2 hours and he was so fascinated and within an hour it was set up enough to take home. He loved rolling it into snakes and making bugs. The snakes when "squiggled" just made him squeal with delight. Works really, really well. Smooth as silk and molds perfectly in Amaco molds, Alley Goop molds and Miracle Molds. Perfect consistency for working---of course this is a fairly new product and has not had any time to dry out on the shelf. It does not have the feel at all of all the products like DAS Modeling material or the other similar non-polymer clays. It works so much like polymer clay that I think this could easily be the material that is being used in the auctions mentioned and it has the look. The only thing I would need to watch now is whether it has cracking upon curing or it shrinks. I would think it would shrink a little since moisture has to go to set up. It starts to dry fairly quickly and if a spritz of water is added, it can work longer. But unless the water is worked into the clay very evenly, I think there could be some light crackling. I do see possibilities---esp. for miniaturists! So here's the product again... http://www.makinsclay.com/mc/aboutus.asp How on earth did they ever get that name anyway?

And did you see this part? http://www.makinsclay.com/mc/endorse.asp That is a brilliant idea---esp. the way they have it set up.

http://www.makinsclay.com/mc/endorse.asp That is a brilliant idea---esp. the way they have it set up. I did see that--its quite often the case that there's an endorsement policy with suppliers, but I've not seen it spelled out right out in front on the website where everyone can see it before.

mentioned. Thanks for the lead ! Rachel |

Does anyone know if their gridded working mat would work with polymer clay too?
Speaking of gridded surfaces, Mary Reynolds of my guild gave a demo on boxes the other night and used an Omnigrid quilter's ruler for making her cuts so they'd be straight and measurable at the same time. I was surprised that this stiff plastic isn't the kind that's melted by raw clay, but it must be acrylic. Have to dig mine out... good thing to work on when making measured, straight or parallel cuts. Some quilter's rulers even have various triangles, etc., marked on them. She used the (back side of the) 6 x 12" one with bright yellow lines. I've been using a sheet of graph paper stuck to the back of my clear acrylic work surface, but this would be better in various ways.

Just a note about my suggesting Omnigrid rulers as work surfaces! Jeanne R.
has said that Diluent took all the lines off of her older one. Mary actually works on the back side of her Omnigrid (to avoid slight impressions from the raised lines), and her ruler is newer (but not brand new) .. Don't know if those could be factors or not, though the solvent part could be tested by rubbing a bit of Diluent on a small area to see what happens, I guess. I thought I'd probably end up reading the numbers backwards and upside down anyway since I'd also want to use the back side if impressions would be a factor. I didn't see any signs of paint removal on Mary's Omnigrid, so maybe she's just been careful. I'll ask her whether she ever gets raw clay on the front side of her ruler though and report back.

Has anyone tried the Makin's Clay by Provo Craft? It is a no bake clay and
comes in several colors. I saw that in the craft store. They also had awesome little cutters that are perfect for polymer clay. I don't remember if it's by the same company, but it was on the same end cap.
