I did find your blog from Angela M’s (Crafty Goat) so I heard all about the guild I saw your new molds, really nice!! I’ll try glazing my pieces. I’m almost done my other lot of experiment when I’m done I’ll come here. I’ll add you to my Google Reader so I don’t lose you!

Thanks for dropping by the blog! I do love this technique. Funny enough, I gave a brief demo of it at my clay guild meeting this past weekend.

In answer to your question – before I glaze the
finished product…it may have a slightly rubbery feel
to it, but not bad. Once the glaze is on there (I use
Future floor finish) – that pretty much goes away.

Loved your necklace too! Great texture to the beads. All of our guild members came this weekend with lots of different buttons to play with. I made about 10 molds, so it is time to try some more designs now! I haven’t tried using the ultralight
with this technique, but I may have to try it now since you’ve had success.

What gorgeous beads!!!
How funny, I was just posting about this same topic (porcelain) a day or two ago! I have used Sculpey Ultralight for this technique with great effects (except the first time, I rushed too much and used too much liquid clay on the beads I think, but I learned from that!)….
I find for certain things that Sculpey Ultralight is a good cheaper alternative (not for everything though, didn’t do well with the shaving crema tech!).
I’m sure white and translucent have a better quality in the end though!
Did you find that the finish tends to be rubbery? Mine was..

Hi Pooh,
I really enjoyed perusing your Blog. This necklace is really beautiful…you’ve come a long way from the sock doll. But I think the doll was pretty incredible for a 7-year-old. Thanks for sharing all this with us.
