Very nice feel to it, and doesn't transfer modelling material to your hands. My favorite tool is an African Porcupine quill, the blunt end and the pointed end. After baking it takes acrylic paint very well.Aleta Karstadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900113759159760493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3403025007552597654.post-65171532170302265802011-02-21T10:10:54.886-05:002011-02-21T10:10:54.886-05:00Very cool, Aleta!

Funny...Very cool, Aleta! The mudpuppy is beautiful!<br />Funny little coincidedence. I've just been thinking of getting some polymer clay to do some modeling.
