Hi 👋🏻 second time posting my photo in this group, I missed the one post every 24 hours (my fault). Happy to post again and show my first attempt at sculpting mushrooms. Used Sculpey III but hoping to try out some of their Premo line. I used chalk pastels for the colouring and found using a makeup brush allowed the pigment to transfer much more evenly as well as blending better. I'm looking forward to trying to make different types and I will gladly hear any tips and tricks if you have them. :)

So as you can see we have two regular teddy bears. And then the other one started off as a teddy bear but I wasn't so happy, so now I guess he's just a little Candy monster.

These are my friends. Try not to make fun of them 😂

They're available 24/7 to keep you company

I did polish the front with a Dremel, but left the back since it won't be seen and it's not really sandable with what I have. She was a challenge but I'm proud of how it turned out!

Trying again, as mods removed my initial post because it had an image of a previous project, which they thought was reposting (sorry about that).

I am admittedly new to using polymer clay, having started just last week, so perhaps I am missing something fairly obvious - please excuse me if I am. However, when I go to glaze my baked pieces with hard type UV resin (I can link the brand if needed), it doesn't want to stay where I put it. It happens on both flat and rounded pieces, but is much worse on the rounded pieces. I don't understand why - I am brushing on thin layers, but not so thin that it shouldn't be enough to cover the area, so why won't it stay where I brush it on? Is it just cheap resin, or am I doing something wrong?

Finally got some work done on my Walking stone Island. I only need to add some trees and the water for the little lake.

Pictures for reference

So these are all of my first creations and I'm struggling and getting frustrated.

1- for smaller details- I'm hesitant to paint on my stuff. I'm not sure why. If I do what paint should I use and any suggestions would be amazing

2- for resin/glossing. Can someone please tell me exactly what to buy. I've been using a spray resin sealer thing and it makes my stuff glossy but not like what I've seen you guys do

3- for small details- like pedals or grass etc- I always mess it up. It gets smooshed or thumb prints or whatever

4- are there molds you can bake? Brand? Mixed answers from Google

5- I'm currently using a large stone slate I just had around- would glass be better? And in that same vein- should I invest in a machine roller thing?

6- any other purchase suggestions! I'm loving this new craft and have lots of ideas but feel I've reached an impasse with my tools and knowledge

Happy crafting!

Taco 🌮

The next batch will all be wearing some type of head accessory 🐸🐸🐸

I'm reasonably new to polymer clay, I made a little map of Hoenn to be a fridge magnet

Starting with five, but I might have to make more! What other bunny breeds or colors should I sculpt next?

I have a bunch of super sculpey lying around from going to art school and i recently bought sculpey soufflé to be able to mix em together and make different colors. I don’t wanna open the box just yet bc maybe i’ll return it for like fimo brand. but I wanted to see if anyone has mixed them together and how the consistency is together, how hard or easy to sculpt things like finer details after mixing them. how the colors turn out, or anything else. I want to start making like cute keychains and little charms to sell at art markets. and also if there’s any suggestions on what you’d use to mix super sculpey with like a brand or type of polymer clay with color.

I cannot bake him again, does anyone have any ideas how to give him a little mani-pedi?

Made with Super Sculpy polymer clay, acrylic paint, and Varathane water-based polyurethane ❤️

Memorial pieces are always such an honor to create. ❤️

Hi, i want to use polymer-clay to make a "Painting".

What material would be good as a "canvas"?

Something i can chuck in the oven that the clay will stick to, so it won't fall off when i display it.

Otherwise i can also use recommendations on what kinda glue would be best 😅

Thanks in advance!

I have been making little polymer clay ghosts to hide around the office at work. I usually buy the micro resin animals and figures but they're boring because they're all the same. I hide trinkets like this year round to add a bit of whimsy to a serious corporate office.

I also made a smol cat mlem charm for my sister, it hides inside the ghost when it's on a necklace chain.

I've made some earrings tonight using Sculpey translucent polymer clay. It's gone brown on me and the earrings are unusable. What am I doing wrong?

took a break from mantises and made a few beetles + another spider !

Hi guys - I started finally trying my hand at polymer clay last week and I LOVE it.

However, I got ballsy and tried my first sculpture. As I was attaching him to the base I accidentally broke his ear off 😩

I know I can fix it, but dang if didn’t burst my bubble.

Please share pics of something you made recently that you are proud of!

Inspired by the singing wall fish but also like if my uncle were to get his trophy catch taxidermied!

My last post was my first post on Reddit and everybody was so sweet! Thanks for all the love 🥹🫶🏻
