It doesn't take much to get me hooked and it's not an expensive craft unless you want it to be. I like crafting this way, kind of like garden art on a budget.

Know how to solve that??? I mix the white in with the colored. It helps and you get some really nice mixes.
don't force too much in your machine, it will mess it up. Ask me how I know?????Yep, I'm on my second machine and I really need another. But this will do . Love it..

Hello all. Enjoying reading your posts and seeing pics of your polymer clay creations. Just joined the forum. Your posts here are old, so hope you are still active members and will see this post. I want to try making sculpey clay creations for my outdoor fairy garden. I learned on the internet that there is a premo sculpey clay that is the best for standing up to the weather. Any feedback appreciated. Do you use the premo sculpey ? How are your creations holding up in the outdoors ? Do you bring yours in during the winter ? ( we get some snow here in BC Canada in winter , and quite a bit of rain here on the coast) Thanks.

I use Sculpey Premo and have found that the clay does hold up well outside, but the colors fade drastically. But I left mine out all year. I'm in Wisconsin and we get lots of rain and snow. I had even sealed them.
