Finally.. oven baked clay..

Finally .. I decided to go for oven baked clay to satisfy my desire to create smaller and better detailed items.  I went back to Popular @ Bras Basah and picked up some packs of Fimo clay.  I have been reading up reviews of the clay and decided on Fimo.  I read that Sculpey clay can be too soft for warm hands.  Of course, I bought an oven too! 

Happily I went home to try out.  OMG.. Fimo clay is soooo hard!  Especially after playing with Jumping Clay for a while.  Fimo clay is really so hard to "knead".  Later I realized the correct saying is the clay is hard to condition.   My fingers were sore from all the kneading and I still unable to create anything.  You can imagine my disappointment.  What makes me think that polymer clay is easy to play with?  Well... it does shows during my search in the youtube!   

Long story short... in the next 2 days, I went back to Bras Basah and bought some Sculpey Clay and a Clay machine.  Sculpey clay is much easier to condition.  However, it's tooooo easy.. and it soften the moment i tried to  sculpt something.  ZZZzzzz...  : | .... Fimo is too hard and Sculpey is too soft.  So what's the best solution?  Well... I mixed them... and finally I am able to start create something.. *phew*..

This is my1st creation using polymer clay - tiny angry bird!

Recently, I decided to made them became a keychain charms.  Aren't they cute? :)

I saw this in the internet and decided to make a pair of Mickey/Minnie Donuts.  The response from friends are overwhelming!  They started giving me ideas to make other characters!

Mickey and Minnie had found themselves an owner!  Christina bought them and I made them into a pair of couple keychains!

This is the 2nd sets of Donuts I created!  Any idea who they are?  Thank you Eileen Yeo for ordering them!

Now... what else have i got in my "To-do" list?  :)

1) Elmo and Grover Keychain for a cute little boy  - DONE!

2) Rilakkuma donuts for Cousin - DONE!

3) Halloween collections

4) Me to you donuts - DONE!

Now, my latest obsession is clay sculpturing.  I guess, it might last for a while more.

Cards and other paper crafts could be kept in a cold storage until I decided to use them again.  Ops.
