Thanks!
Very nice ballet shoes. I do love the colors of it thats why I made Imps! I can make a doll out of anything I think its just a question of how long will it take and how frustrated will I get during the porcess I think I like the studio clay though, so there will probably be more Imps. I whipped the both of them out over the course of 2 days while finishing up the flute playing fairy so they're pretty quick studies which is why they aren't nearly as good as my prosculpt fairies. I don;t think it has anything to do with the clay. We'll see. I'll do something a little bit more in depth with it next time.

Thank you very much! Yes, the colours are so pretty. I shall probably make red and lilac ballet shoes too!

yeah it reminds me of colored prosculpt. its pretty strong and more flexible than prosculpt....its made for making beads so its good for making small strong parts like fingers and imp tails! I typically don't mix clays outside the same brands sice they have different baking temps and that can affect long term stability. I have heard too many stories about sculpts actually crumbling to peices after a few years. I will occasionally mix fimo and cernit since they have the same temp or for my unicorns and horses I use supersculpy for the bulk of the sculpting and use superflex for the legs and ears, but I bake at superflex temp so my SS is always really brown instead of pink. but this new studio clay has a really nice texture its not quite as firm as prosculpt but it has the same nice texture not like premo or SS. its strong like cernit and doesn't burn easily like cernit too, but its not brittle when its hot like cernit you can't touch until its cool because you will break something off. the only place I have seen it so far is at AC Moore and there doesn't seem to be a fleshtone color but mixing pink and buttercream makes a perfect match to prosculpt light

Cool! Thanks for all the info I might give it a try. I got some of the superflex but have yet to try it. I have yet to find anything that I can sculpt feathers in very well other than high-fire ceramic clay
