The colors were wonderfully different from other I am used to. The purples, blues and metallic gold and silver are fun to use. Who says a Turtles back can't be blue? Or he can't wear a purple bow tie and gold top hat? This clay will help you use your imagination and create something special! All 12 colors are different, nothing repeated and each color is perfectly blended and bright. The "Just Orange" color would be perfect to make little pumpkins which is what I will do next. The silver and gold colors can be used to make gems or beads for a handmade bracelet or necklace. Little animals can be any colors you like! You could make a "Fuschia Pearl" lion with a "Hot Pink" mane. Or a bunch of clay flowers to decorate a shelf, frame, or use as a plant accessory. the possibilities with this clay is endless!
I use this clay a lot for my job, I teach children how to make fairy gardens. They love to use this clay. It easy to mold in their little hands. Plus you can take two or three colors and mix them to make your own special color. It is great for kids to use their imagination and creativity, they love to smoosh the clay and kneed it. Then they can shape it and use tools to make dents and marks. There is a liquid Sculpey you can use as a kind of glue to hold parts together or a toothpick to put a head on a body.
I lined my baking sheet with tinfoil and set the turtle in the oven at the recommended temperature of 275 degrees. I put the timer on for 25-30 minutes. It is 15 minutes for every 1/4in of thickness. After the Turtle completely cooled I use the Sculpey Glaze to give it strength and shine. After it dries I can put it in my little garden or give it to one of my children along with the ones they made.
The clay is strong and solid. My turtle will last a long time. You can always not bake the clay and re-use to make other items. I will only use this brand of clay. It is perfect for making wonderfully cute items!
