I had made some clay modelling in my free time

This post has been edited by VincC454: Dec 23 2008, 01:16 PM

i used to be interested in clay since i was in kindergarden... coz that time my place banjir and my parents buy alot alot of plasitine to sumbat some places in my house then i hairan go and take and make some shapes.... but not now... dun have plasitine to play around.. sad..

Well paper clay is much better. Much cleaner to play with. Just my 2 cents.

Paper clay are good choice, but I'm not comfortable with the "fast dry out" fallback. Plasitine is cheaper choice, but too soft and YES .. very dirty !

Well if you notice on my blog, I'm actually using a type of eraser as material.

PROs:
- No oil
- Reusable
- Easy to shape

CONs:
- a little smelly (less smell than plasitine)
- softer than real clay, don't get hard/solid
- only 1 color available (grey)

It cost me only RM2.00 per piece, 2 pieces are already enough to make something ... but in quantity it can be costly .

For my opinion, it can replace putty in some condition!

lolz! i used the exact same thing earlier this year.. hahaha. i made a little elephant. (:

no photos right now cause i gave it away as a bday prezzie.. >_<

i actually bought the art eraser to actually erase stuff.. but then i found i could mould and shape it.. haha.. i gave away two erasers already.. >_<

you should change the title.. its no longer clay modeling. its eraser modeling.. haha.. (:

Ohh you really used them to create gift? Haha it's a greate idea, may be I should change it ... hey admin may I?

the eraser is really good for erasing yikes ! and its much firmer than plasistine. used to play with plasistine when i was young, but the smell can kill :lol

This lil piece of eraser is my lifesaver during my college days. I was in advertising and graphic design, and figure drawing classes is HELL!

Ahh... miss feeling the warm lil putty in my palm.

I agree with the "smell thing", yaks ...

Haha ... same here, even my lecturer caught me playing it in the class (P.s: I'm studying IT course, so my lecturer have no knowledge of the little piece of shit in my hand ... ). The only thing that troubles me is ... it mix with all my stationary and stick on them!

i used..rubber dust leftovers to make a large bouncy ball once..i think i gave it away

rubber dust is:

easy to get
squishy
does not stick to other object besides rubber
not that smelly
when hard, it's bouncy

Hmm rubber dust is such a good idea too

wow, you r really good in clay modelling. u r studying in modelling or working just for fun of it? keep on your work. Nice models.

Thanks, well for your information I just work it for fun in my free times! I'm in programming field!

Thanks again!

Recently got some polymer clay myself. Gonna start on some sculpting, wondering if anyone did it before. We could start a discussion!!

Where do you buy polymer clay? I only do paper clay coz I can't find the polymer clay.... well, my only sculpture is a head of my imaginary horror figure hahahah....

Threads merged - please submit all your posts here in the future

my fren got do some also
complete model with colour and box (DIY)
will take photo from him to post here
=D

most art shop sell them. i've seen air harden clay around. not sure about oven baked ones tho, pretty sure it's around locally somewhere

wanted to try make something yesterday. this is the early result

thing is about 13cm tall. sculpey polymer clay. still havent baked

This post has been edited by ravira3: Apr 7 2006, 03:22 PM

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

http://www.fantasywithin.com/pasworbotmer.html

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

you are not allowed to advertist or try to sell or adv your blog in here...

please avoid this before i close this thread...since it too much advertising already in here

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..


This post has been edited by BeastX: Feb 18 2009, 06:31 PM

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

Yes you can try to shape/work on it while it is still soft... at about 30 minutes in till 3 hours to 4 hours.. one of the application is making water/lake as advertised/shown in the instruction manual... not cheap though... RM100 to RM120 just for 300g... imported mine from Japan

---

Added on February 18, 2009, 8:34 pmYou can pick out any impurities when it is still soft and the resin will reshape/smooth out ... as it has a long work/harderning time.. bubbles will be gone too...

---

Added on February 18, 2009, 8:47 pmYou might want to use clear acrylic plastic as a base to minimise the needed resin...
available on HS.....

wow so expensive ,thanks bro for the information

Added on February 18, 2009, 9:09 pmwhat is the different between clay and plaster

This post has been edited by yamyinhao: Feb 18 2009, 09:09 PM

Just wondering did they apply any paint on the clear resin to get those white wave effects?

what you have to do is u colour the plaster to blue for sea, green for lake or longkang and so on

before you add in the resin , after rthe resin already harden you used white colour to make the wave

this is what i know .


i manage to found the C.clear resin in 1 of the art shop at the Garden they are selling around RM 190 without the harderner if add will be around RM 250


have to search at S'pore see can get cheaper or not

Well won't it be difficult if you color the plaster before you shaped the resin? Also you have to use semi clear colors?

Art shop in Gardens are usually expensive high end stuff. How about around Central Market? I pass by there most of the time.

This post has been edited by advocado: Feb 19 2009, 08:58 PM

bro this is the normal procress for building diorama with that C.clear resin you don't require to use semi clear colour.

Nah , i dont use gloves. The hardest part in modeling is learning to control the pressure of your fingers. Pretend ur dealing with a hot hard boil egg.
Humidity has alot to do with the fingerprints also, so if u are in a hot place or sweaty hands, since iclay is water based, you will leave fingerprints. A nice air con room will cure that. If you REALLY have sweaty hand in air con, use a little baby lotion.

As for treatment, if you do not plan to re-cycle the clay, the cheapest is to use clear finger nail polish.

anyone know how to make 2 part molds?

the making of SOFA set..

cool... that's really creative... Just amazed....
Try making an LV bag la.
saw someone bought a LV bag cake before.. lol

so these clay gets harden after its done? or it will stay...well as "clay"?

Well looking at the site, this clay will harden, but more to a rubber type substance rather than hard as a rock. But the clay is recycleable, meaninging months later when u dont want , you can make it soft again and reuse. Im an Authorize Distributor of the clay for all of Malaysia and get it directly from Korea. One of the box set is on page 3 post 50 i think.

Post some of your art work here, bro

Hi, I'm back with my latest sculpture, I have been working on this model around 2 ~3 months time cos i was very busy lately, I can only work on it when I'm back from work.... , This sculpture is actually base on the HongKong comic, one of my favorite... "风云" or "Storm Riders",drawn by Mr Ma Weng Shing. If you have read this comic I guess you will be familiar with this guy here..he is one of the villain, that I find interesting to sculpt - "破军"









For more pictures you check out my blog..

hope to hear your comment on the sculpture.

Thanks

hi all,

Just started some of my paper clay collection too ^^

most of em are in here http://www.flikr.com/icywolfy

Here are some of my cute paperclay stuff...but i find more fun in making stuff with polymer clay now.






Just today just bought an oven and ready to start my venture in Polymer Clay soon ! woot

Some questions for those experienced here, Im curious to know before i placed those in my oven.

a) Can we baked our paperclay? i mean like putting it into the oven at certain temperature.

b) What is the difference if u let it dry by air and bake version?

This post has been edited by icy_wolfy: Jan 25 2010, 08:57 AM

anyone here knows where to get get the materials to make two part molds; rubber silicone,mold release and resins? Please pm me if you know of any. Thank you in advance.
