I mostly buy them from Etsy or my local craft store Michael's. Β I also pick up things here and there on my trips overseas to Hong Kong, etc.

I made the koi fish from clay. Β The clay and resin could be bought in your local craft store.

Where did you buy the rocks? In a craft store? You only need to ask for "rocks" and that's it?:0 Β Sorry, is that i live in Mexico and i don't think there are many craft stores in my city:I

Oh, my boyfriend brought up a good point. Β You might be able to find it in aquariums or pet stores/fish stores =]. Β They have filler rocks for aquarium tanks . Β Good luck!

i wish i had polymer clay all i can use is crayola air dry

SmallCreationsByMel In reply to hollyleaf152 [2013-03-04 16:20:57 +0000 UTC]

That works too though =]. I've used air dry before. One of the challenges that seemed tough was the amount of time you had to work with the piece before it dried too much =\.

nuttaela [2013-02-02 03:24:41 +0000 UTC]

Is there anything else I could use besides resin?There aren't many craft stores near I live so its also quite hard to get polymer clay.

SmallCreationsByMel In reply to nuttaela [2013-02-02 08:36:56 +0000 UTC]

you can try clear glue =]

Very impressive tutorial! I'm not really a claycrafter, I admit it, though if I was I would give this a go, but it was very well put together and the end result is very cool. Nice seeing your process.

What kind of glue do you use for this?

SmallCreationsByMel In reply to gingersnaps99 [2012-11-27 02:55:54 +0000 UTC]

I used liquid fusion clear urethane glue. Bought from local craft store (Michael's). E-6000 epoxy glue would also work =].

SmallCreationsByMel In reply to 10stanford [2012-10-03 04:17:18 +0000 UTC]

you can put some glue on the rocks and let the glue dry a little bit, like blow on it until it becomes a bit tacky, then stick it on =]. hope it helps!

I bought the resin in Hong Kong so I don't know the brand. Michael's has resin too and there's a thing called magic water you can find online. Or you can find epoxy resin. Good luck! =]

I'm sorry for randomly butting in, but I saw that you bought your resin in HK, but where exactly did you buy it? (I live in HK )

Thank you
