I’ve been collecting Fimo Polymer Clay stuff with the desire to try and make some little cat fridge magnets or something like that. I’ve never tried using Fimo before nor really done much in the way of sculpting so have been putting it off until I had some inspiration… or bravery
The mood struck me today so I got everything out then decided I really needed to learn about it first – how it feels, how easy it is to manipulate and how it looks after it’s been baked. Since I like making jewellery I thought I would have a go at some beads. I’d received a free heart mould when I’d bought some Fimo so thought I would use that (I also had a nice red Fimo clay). I’m actually really pleased with the way they turned out. They looked how I wanted them to, I could envision a use for them and most importantly, I learnt a lot about the clay. My fingers ache now with all the kneading but it was worth it
Here is a pic of the finished beads!

They look good
Thanks!
Here’s something else you can do with Fimo and Sculpy, http://pics.livejournal.com/xinef/pic/00045204/g41.
Easy to make. You take the polymer clay and make your pattern as a very thin layer. Mould it onto plain glass balls and bake for a relatively short period of time. We did a whole bunch of these years ago. Some haven’t been photographed.
That’s a great idea, thanks
I love the ones you did
I still find it weird they turn into a kind of plastic, which is ever-so-slightly flexible, rather than a solid clay thing which is what I imagined them to be. Still, they’ll be more durable as a plastic than a clay
Look good!
Do more – I have a lot more Super Mutants to kill
Lol I see how it is!
