Favorite Tool: Magic Wand

Gingerbells.artfire.com

Besides my hands and pasta machine the tools I use most are my magic wands. They are acrylic rods just like the big rollers except these are very thin 1/8 inch around and they work great for getting into small places. They give great control only need a light touch to do a great smoothing job.

Poly Clay Covered Items: boxes

SassyClayCreations

I love covering various shaped boxes with polymer clay. You can let your imagination run wild. There are so many sizes and shapes, you will have lots of fun.



I also have fun covering mirrors with my clay.



Try it. You will sure have fun.

Polymer Clay Covered Glass

HaffinaCreations

First thing I ever covered with clay was a glass salt shaker I found in an Op shop. I did the pepper shaker too, but do not like how that one turned out, so am planning to see if I can remove the clay and start again.



And recently for one of our Smoosher challenges I covered a small glass jar with clay. I love the idea behind covering things with clay, making beautiful, functional items. I would really like to experiment further and cover some other pieces.

Favorite brand of clay: Puppen Fimo

Tamed.artfire.com

For my miniatures i use Puppen (doll) fimo, It's a nice firm clay and slightly transclucent like skin. I've also found it has good strength on more brittle areas like ears and shows details well. I sometimes blend it with other fimo classics and like to use those for paw pads or for a wrap around the armature to save on costs and it's a bit 'stickier'.
All these were made with puppen fimo
