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!
