Description Huge file.
I said I wasn't going to do tutorials, but people had so many questions that a bit ago I came up with my Clay FAQ . Since the semester ended I've had more questions and have seen more people applying their skills learned from my information, other artists' information, as well as their own experiements in making clay charms and figurines. One thing that stuck out to me was making fortune cookie charms strikingly similar to my own. Imitation is quite flattering, but none of them were doing it properly.
Seeing how I had actual time now to do such a thing, I figured a proper tutorial was in order.

Enjoy.
Spread the word that this is here. ^_^

I'll take suggestions for other tutorials, as I rather enjoyed doing this one.

Please ignore that I misspelled "Michael's" and "Squirrel".

How do you use the sanding block without cracking the clay? I haven't really actually tried out this tutorial, but I'm curious...

tedsie In reply to Kimiko-Tohomiko-XP [2007-12-03 04:09:54 +0000 UTC]

It's a very fine grit of sand paper especially designed for that sort of work. It merely takes off layers.
Plus, Fimo is pretty strong.

I read this and wanted to reply "Wow"(I imagine this is a common reaction)!
Well done, good work: concise and useful... hopefully many people should learn from it (including myself).

Jordii4 [2007-10-28 09:10:29 +0000 UTC]

Just a few questions. How do you know when their cooked? Can they explode? And also can you use any oven?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

tedsie In reply to Jordii4 [2007-10-28 18:00:25 +0000 UTC]

You follow the directions on the package for the cook time duration. Follow them expressly if you're new to it.
I don't know if they can explode.
They can burn, though.
Yes, you can use any oven, technically.
I happen to like to keep my polymer clay and food products separate, though.

That's something to do with your browser or computer. Try refreshing it or fix your connection.
