You can shape the molds using real objects and the press the polymer clay into the molds. This would be extremely helpful when making multiples (i.e., chess pieces).Dr. Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355757410336775557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34541283.post-81531198185664835652008-12-26T18:44:00.000-08:002008-12-26T18:44:00.000-08:00Hey, those utensils and blueberries seem to have g...Hey, those utensils and blueberries seem to have gotten everyone's attention.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all your comments. I'm really liking them too.

I find the blueberries all the more astonishing and even a bit alarming because of the cartoonishness of the utensils. It shows off the flexibility of the materials and the artist.Sundryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11395065569691894697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34541283.post-14411075154217163172008-12-25T23:45:00.000-08:002008-12-25T23:45:00.000-08:00Unfortunately, I used up the super fine sandpaper ...Unfortunately, I used up the super fine sandpaper when I was sanding the silver parts, but what I used was still pretty fine. Anyhow, painting it worked out well enough, and I actually like that it gave it a richer look (I painted a very thin layer of a slightly lighter color, so the dark color underneath still showed through).<BR/><BR/>Good point about the berries looking so real and the utensils more cartoonish. I had in mind something that looked like chess pieces. I think I'm ok with them looking more cartoonish.<BR/><BR/>One thing, actually two things, I'm a little concerned about -- 1. the preemo parts remains pretty flexible, probably because they're only about 1/8" thick; and 2. there are some cracks on the handle parts, probably because they're so thick (about 1"). Did your books say anything about things like that? Should I be worried about them breaking or cracking open? The cracks look to be just on the surface.fingerstothebonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410312376236327398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34541283.post-7057883154420013692008-12-25T22:39:00.000-08:002008-12-25T22:39:00.000-08:00Forgot to say that I like your utensils as they ar...Forgot to say that I like your utensils as they are now. Really cute!

I know so. Remember all those books I borrowed? That's one of the reasons that I haven't got around to play with them yet. I want the polished look, but can't stand the polishing process.<BR/><BR/>ShumeiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
