My Obsession: Polymer clay

Hey guys!! B here, its been a while, I should say.
If you haven't read my previous post, which was about 'My Obsession', you really should. I talked about Japanese Merchandise and how it basically works. Well, this post is gonna be about my second obsession. My second obsession is... *drumroll*- POLYMER CLAY. Read in and see some great pictures!

 

This right here^ is FIMO polymer clay, by Staedtler. Theres many brands, there's Fimo, Sculpey, Premo (also by Sculpey), KatoClay, KraftSmart, Cernit and a few others.


I got inspired by the one and only, ToniEllison, by watching her youtube channels. She makes miniature foods out of polymer clay and I think its awesome. Little mini foods made out of clay are super cute! And if you want to see some of Toni's videos, I'll give you a link down below when you've finished reading everything. Lemme find some pictures!

                                   

                                This one's one of my favourites. Frozen Yogurt!!!!!

Polymer clay is a type of harden-able modelling clay based on the polymer polyvinyl chloride (PVC). You would need to bake it in order to harden it. Polymer clay comes in all different types of colours, and you can mix them. But if you dont have enough Polymer clay colours you want, you could also mix them with Oil Paint, since Polymer clay is oil based. It wouldn't work with Acrylic Paint, since Acrylic is water-based.

Theres many things you can do with Polymer clay, some people like making this thing, called Polymer clay canes. It could be fruit, flower, or any design. A cane is the end picture you create with solid colors of polymer clay in a long tube that can be sliced off and used on various projects.

These are different types of polymer clay canes, after you cut them in slices, you can attach them to polymer clay creations. Some people glue the thin slices on their nails for nail art.

This right here, is what a polymer clay cane would look like, when you make it. You have to keep on squeezing and rolling it until it becomes the size you want. It would look like the one above^.

Polymer clay can be used to make so many things! Fruit canes, jewellery, bangles, head pins, decoration, and many many more! SO I hope you enjoyed reading this post and well, I hope you could check out these videos down below! Thanks. Xx with love, B.
