(after looking at your store on Etsy) Ugh. Not even in my wildest dreams could I EVER do with clay what you do...UNbelievable.. .

What a clever idea! And it's something you can do with craft supplies you already have; and even if you don't have them, it won't cost much!

Gorgeous! You are QUITE the artist! This turned out very elegant looking.

Cute! What size is he?

This is so coool!

I recently purchased some white felt, but it is more off-white than anything. Can I bleach it to make it bright white?

Yes, the second one is unbelievably beautiful! I do needle felting and polymer clay as well.

Very cute and unique! I can see that some of them are glass beads, but what are the others? It looks like embroidery floss wrapped around felt...

These turned out lovely! The colors are gorgeous- very vibrant.

1. Diane is not kidding- her website is huge! If you ever wonder about anything in the realm of clay, go there! You will be amazed at what you find! A few days ago, I decided I wanted to make snow globes involving PC (polymer clay); there was a HUGE section on it! Wow.

2. azreno also offered good advice. Personally, I just searched for tons of videos and tutorials online (I've only been working with PC for a few months now), and that's where I get all my information. But there is plenty of information at the library if that's your preferred venue.

3. I'm assuming you're asking what you should get as a starter kit?

Before you know if you really want to work with it heavily, I would personally recommend:

a) 10-15 colors of Sculpey
b) a basic set of 3-5 tools (found next to the clay at craft stores)
c) an acrylic roller
d) a nonstick surface (a floor tile or completely smooth silicone baking mat)
e) a long, straight blade

And then use those along with the tutorials.

And if you decide you really love it, you can get a ridiculous amount of fun things to work with. But the next set could involve things like:

a) pasta machine
b) different types of blades (wavy, flexible, etc.)
c) inclusions (glitter, mica [an extremely fine metallic powder])
d) expanded tool set
e) extruder
f) translucent liquid clay
g) all manner of glosses
h) cookie cutters
i) stamps
j) sandpaper

...and really, the list is virtually infinite! Now in the first section, I specified Sculpey. That's because it's the most economical brand of common PC. But if (when, really) you move onto list 'b,' you ought to do some research on the different brands and their various lines of clay (classic, soft, firm, etc.). They are really quite different from each other. I really regret not having done the research, because I bought tons of Sculpey right away and found that it wasn't my ideal brand. It all depends on what you're trying to do, though.

Have lots of fun!
