Materials List:
Polymer clay- I like a base of flesh colored clay- then
add bits of colored clay. The flesh clay can be Premo – or
any similar clay. I would recommend having at least 1/2
pound and a variety of colored clays to add. This can be
any clay that you like- Premo, Kato, Sculpey 3. You just
need a selection- you never know what inspiration my strike.
Greens are good for frogs- but I like to add browns and golds
too! A dragon could be any color!! Realize you may
be making a couple of pieces….. maybe even 3 or 4!!? It
just depends upon you! So bring plenty of clays!
Armature material- aluminum foil. Wire can also be
used for more complicated forms. Steel floral stem wire is
good- about 18 gauge. Tin-coated Copper wire is excellent
for larger figures- use 12 gauge. Heavy foils and wire
mesh can be used for wing armature- if necessary.
Acrylic paint-
red, burnt sienna, pearlescent or
metallic- I will have some available for your use.
Optional Materials
Pearl-ex powders
Clear coat finish- Golden Brand
Black and white gesso- I’ll also have some available.
Tools
Sculpting tools-
I have several available for
purchase. I prefer steel tools.
Large round-ended tapestry needle- or a knitting needle
Eyes- these can be pre-baked polymer clay, beads, or teddy
bear eyes… there are many possibilities! You can use any
material that will withstand the 250 baking temperature. I
will have eyes available for $5 a pair. You can also
prebake polymer clay to make eyes.
Work Surface
Hand Wipes
Pasta machines are welcome! (although I usually mix by
hand!?) |
