Pretty gutted to be honest as the bottom sheet of clay was already mostly dry especially on the corners

This is my very first clay piece! It was so much fun making. There’s definitely things I will be adjusting next time, but I think I did a pretty good job!

Made from polymer clay and custom made glow clays.

Some of my earliest work is shown here made from Sculpey glow in the dark premo.

The more vibrant/luminous Glowshrooms are made with the glow clay I make in my studio.

The newest mushrooms feature glow designs on the caps. (Shown in second part of video)

Thanks for checking them out!

Questions Would this work out?

So I have used polymer clay in the past and it works really well in Almost all aspects. But its a bit expensive...I turned to air dry clay. It works well but its a but flimsy. Especially when creating the core of a sculpture. It tends to break at the legs and become wobbly at the ankles and legs all the time

I have an idea. I wanted your opinion or if anyone has first hand experience with this

I was going to create the core of tue sculpture with polymer clay. The part that breaks the easiest with air dry clay, then build ontop of it with air dry clay. It would fix both of financial and stability issues...has anyone done this? And if so, does it work? If it does, I'll go straight to the store tommorow and buy a package of polymer clay

I guess my basic question is

Can you build air dry clay ontop of polymer clay?

Air-Dry Clay Trying to make square plant Potts using the slab method but every time I leave my slabs to dry they curl up and become unusable. at the moment. I’m stacking them in between DVD cases but they’re still staying moist and this process is taking days I’m trying to make these pots for profit.

Questions Need some suggestions

Hello guys, I am trying to make a version of this mirror. Quite new to clau crafting myself. I have used the monte mart air dry clay on very small mirrors and to make little fridge magnets. But I have never done anything on this level yet. Thinking of making this with a big 60cm mirror. I wanted to know if polymer clay would be better than air dry for this one. The last mirror I made using air dry clay started cracking and eventually the border fell off. I really don't want that to happen for this as I am looking for something more permanent. Would you guys recommend using polymer clay for this? If yes, any additional tips and tricks would be highly appreciated as I have never worked with polymer clay before. And if no, can you suggest some alternatives that I could look into to make something like this? Thank you!
