Polymer Clay

I have found a new craft to try out. While searching the internet I came across Mold Muse. These are flexible clay molds. I have never worked with clay as I am not great a sculpting things. But These molds make it easier to be creative.  I ordered the molds on Etsy and waited so patiently. Well maybe not so patiently. I couldn't wait to get them. The molds arrive even earlier then what they said they would. They came in this cute little bag all tied with a ribbon. I wasn't sure what to expect but I was pleased with them. I used 2 different kinds of clay. Fimo which I don't really care for. It takes a lot of kneading to get it soft. I also used Sculpey Bake Shop. This one I like as it is easy to work with but the color was a little lighter then I was expecting. Baked at 275 degrees for 15 minutes and they were done. Let them cool and they were hard. I painted several of them with a shimmer paint. The jury is still out on that one. I like it but I think I have to get the right amount. They i used Goop Craft glue and glued two of the roses to a set of bobby pins I had. I think they turned out great. I can't wait to get more molds and clay. This craft gets two thumbs up from me.

Have an AWESOME day.
