hi hi... i also started with some sculpting, with sculpey, polymer clay that you bake to harden like rock!

anyone else do sculpting eh???
Would be interested in meeting and learn from you guys.

When I was young, at that era when only plasticine is available and no fancy sculpting or polymer clay to use, i'll create some mud by mixing water and earth together, mould them to the shape I want (usually dinasour or monsters), dry them in the sun and paint them. But after a while they will start to crack. However, the experience was fun indeed

Hmmm... I'm trying to find out where to get polymer clay actually! I found some websites where they do polymer clay... and the things they make are just crazy good

I want to make some little figures and stuff to put on soap dishes to go with my handmade soaps range.

Anyone know of an art shop that sells polymer clay nearer to Bangsar than Venus Art? Not even sure if they sell it there... someone else told me about an art shop in Balakong that sells polymer clay too... but I can't remember the name.

Anyone knows how those i-clay or so called light air dry clay. I found it quite easy to handle as it is air dry no need bake. But is not so good for mini stuffs. FIMO type kinda expensive selling in 1U shop, forget da name. It is possible to make polymer clay?

LOL...U meant the shop at the bridge near FOS is it? I think the price there are okay and they have both polimer and sculpey. I use paper clay..a bit messy with me but no need to bake. My latest work...not yet properly done.





-edit-
finished my panda charm

thanks

i like the panda!! so cute! do u use poster colour to paint it? how do u make it look so shinny?

Making mini's with I-Clay is quite easy if you know the proper technique in handling and shaping.

How to prevent clay from cracking? I once build something out of PlayDoh and it cracked. I bough a small box of new type of clay which is very light but have yet open it up.

Depends on the material used. PlayDoh will crack no matter what you try to do once it dried.

With I-Clay if i make a clay model like the ones pictured above, it will not crack.

Another thing that will help is before you shape, knead and stretch the clay to get rid of the air bubbles.

Raichu do you wear glove when you make them? If not won't it get fingerprints all over?

And how do you treat it after you finished making them? I mean if you leave it as it is dust will start to stick on them and impossible to remove.


You're pretty good. Can I have that Teddy Bear with a ribbon on it?

Hello, I started playing with clay last year and I'm kinda like making food (using air dry clay)...any experts here can give me details on where to get clay materials? I usually get from one of the clay shop in 1U...

the shop in one utama is called craft haven.
another shop that sells polymer clay is cottage smth in amcorp mall..
or go to the art shops in petaling street they sell that tool..

do u know near where in petaling street because i'm looking for crystal clear resin and harderner

You may want to look at this .... A 2 part crystal clear resin, slow hardening time (6 hours or more till solid), exothermic heat that may melt/deform some plastic... Hardern to very durable clear plastic... A Japanese product, 1:2 ratio mix..

thanks bro , see i'm trying to make a water effect for my diorama not sure can this be use

and where can i get this

I never seen crystal clear resin. How do you prevent it from getting dirty while waiting for it to dry? Also how u get rid of those linings. I never seen clear resin so hard for me to imagine.

bro not too sure i have to try it and let you know , but someone told me that this resin is used to make river,sea , waterfall and so on

some said it used to created those transparent stuff
