so anyway.. my friend and co-teacher Cor, is getting married soon and she and her fiance are looking around for people who knows how to do polymer clay - - as they will put them on top of their cake...
and so I volunteered making them because I want to give it as my gift...
She provided me with Sculpey Brand Premo white polymers...
I have been hearing alot about the sculpey brand I always do encounter them but it will be my first time to work with it... I have been keen on using Clayzee Brand.. so I guess it wouldnt hurt to try it...
and so I opened it, kneaded it, then used the rolling pin on it.. it was scary hard as a rock... so I placed my TLS to soften them to mash it and soften the clay.. it worked pretty well
to get the shape of the swans (as cake toppers), I used my stash of hanger wires and twisted them as such to create the Long neck, and the swans body.. it wasnt easy.. I started placing on my glove so I wont have my fingerprints all over the swan... but since my gloves aren't the heavy duty type and my wire keeps on hooking on the gloves.. the rubber gloves broke apart.. so eventually I had to remove them...
to cut the long story short after 4 hours of me doing the topper.. I have finished 1....
I think I did pretty ok..
