SculpeyArt Clay III, 2-Ounce, Translucent

Great quality and price! Will definitely be purchasing again!

Sculpey is a nice brand for beginners as well as experienced artist. It's an easy clay to work with. It's not too hard or soft and is relatively easy to condition. It comes in an array of colors which is a plus. However, it can be overpriced here at Amazon sometimes. Craft store pricing for this clay seem to be cheaper, especially for certain colors. You can get 2 for the price of what you pay for one here. I only purchase Sculpey from Amazon when I cannot find a specific color in the stores or when the price here is comparable. Shop around first.

I make handmade polymer, clay earrings, and jewelry. After initially trying numerous brands, this has become my favorite. Sculpey premo and Sculpey iii meet every need I have and the colors are beautiful. It has become my go to clay

Picture advertised 8 oz, which is what I thought I had purchased. But description is for 2 oz.

This stuff is pretty awesome, to be honest. I had actually wanted translucent red, but I needed it quickly, and this regular translucent was going to ship sooner. Basically, I wanted an LED behind it to glow, and I needed it to have 3-dimensional form that holds. It helps if you can get it as thin as possible, which I accomplished by smushing it out flat between two pieces of foil (probably better to actually roll it out on a flat surface, but I'm lazy) and then peeling to top foil off and shaping it with the bottom foil still attached. Baked it for a short time (less than 10 minutes, and actually, it did burn slightly, but since I was coloring it, it didn't really matter to me, but also, I really did make it *very* thin) and peeled the bottom foil off *after* it was hardened. Glued and baked it onto my larger piece (again, not too long, since both had already baked, just enough for the sculpey glue to set). Painted it with red acrylic paint, which I worried might make it too opaque (but also, sharpie works too), but it was just fine with just 1 coat of the paint. I'm really impressed. I basically did a hack job with this and didn't use any sculpting tools, but I'm sure if you were careful and used tools, you'd accomplish something even better.

I was pleased with the end product.

Thos is no very malleable. Even the warmth of my hands didn't soften it enough to keep it from crumbling. One it was shaped and baked, the finished product looks bubbly.

Good quality clay, bakes hard in oven.
