This is my first craft challenge, yay!
This little guy's name is Morris. He's made entirely from Fimo. I love him and I think I might make him a little robot girlfriend some day soon. Oh and I had to post links instead of pics because I haven't posted enough to be allowed to post pictures yet.

Good luck fellow challengers.

This is really nice, earth mother like, how did you make the beads?

Oh the top one is super pretty.

I could make some more easy, elasticated jewellery and maybe some easy earings (if I ever find a cheap place to get crimp beads) as I've some stuff hanging around the house already and beads a plenty. Send your adress over in PM and post whatever I get together to you.

Ok I have some gold brass wire from 'The Craft Factory' (no gauge on the packet sorry). I want to push pieces into a Fimo sculpture to make hooks to hang jewellery from but I want to be sure it won't melt when I bake the whole thing in the oven. Can anyone reassure me?

I got paint in the kit, which came from Faber-Castel but came with a Marbaru black fabric marker that didn't work. It was quite good, no need to iron or anything. However those little pots would not stay closed so when the paint dried up I had to improvise for some of the design. So the flowers around the butterfly are done in Dylon fabric paint (not the puff paint), which worked ok except for a bit of bleeding when I used the purple. Of course that will have to be heat set. The elephant is done in Anita's fabric paint. However that wasn't such a great success as the first coat was patchy and the second coat went lumpy and it's still a bit tacky feeling even though it is dry.

Also I've just noticed my links came up as text links, not pictures. Is that supposed to happen or have I done something wrong?

Hi I'm new and this is my first post My friend lent me her digital camera so I actually have some quality pictures to show (hope they are not too big, not so good at this whle re-sizing thing). I used the paint from the kit and some stencils I had around the house to create this:





The cat is a stencil of my own making so I'm especially proud of this panel.
