I'm thinking of getting into clay modeling. Could someone tell me
where I can pick up some plasticine? For instance, does Walmart sell it? |

You usually can find plasticene brand at an art supply store, rather
than a mass-market store. ---------- Barbara www.penguintrax.com eBay & Justbeadsenguintrax 0 /O\ Nurturing doesn't end at birth: breastfeed, co-sleep, babywear.

I don't know - we don't have one locally and I haven't shopped at one
since I left Omaha 9 years ago. Depending on what you are doing, a basic non-drying modeling clay will work. Van Aken makes two different ones, Plastalina and Claytoon. http://www.vanaken.com/clay.htm http://www.dickblick.com/categories/modelingclays/ ---------- Barbara www.penguintrax.com eBay & Justbeadsenguintrax 0 /O\ Nurturing doesn't end at birth: breastfeed, co-sleep, babywear.

I got some stuff called Claytoon, and I made a red spaceship. It got
all over my hands though - is this common? It was a pain to get off, so I was wondering if there are any that don't get messy? Georgia wrote: Yes, Hobby Lobby will have what you are looking for. And more. Georgia wrote in message oups.com... Is Hobby Lobby a good place? |

I have no experience with Claytoon or other plasticine (not in several
decades anyway). Most of the folks who hang out here work with polymer clays, which harden in a slow oven. Georgia wrote in message oups.com...

Should I get a polymer clay? What's the difference?

If you're making permanent objects, you will prefer polymer clay because it
can be cured to permanent hardness. If you are thinking of doing animations ("claymation"), you may prefer plasticine, but I've never tried doing animations with either. One caveat is that if you try to adjust an uncured polymer clay figure that has been undisturbed for a long time (weeks or months) without warming it (say to body temperature), it may crack. BTW, the pigments in polymer clays also come off on your hands (esp. red and black), but it is not that hard to wash it off. There is a wealth of information about polymer clay at www.glassattic.com. Don't know about plasticine clay. wrote in message oups.com... Should I get a polymer clay? What's the difference? |

Thanks.
Is there any kind of clay that doesn't get on your hands? |
