If you find the price acceptable we can progress from there. With small pieces, such as pins and figurines, I will create the work of art, and then send you a picture for your approval. If you like the piece, you send payment, and I ship your purchase. If not, you pay nothing and I can then sell the piece to someone else. With larger, more complex works, such as a chess set, a portion of the payment would be required before I began work.
Polymer clay is a pre-colored clay that requires baking in a home oven in order to harden.
It does not dry out over short periods of time like traditional clay. Polymer clay is typically used for beads, and small sculpture pieces. Its cost makes it impractical for large works. FIMO Classic and Premo are both fairly hard clays, while FIMO Soft, Sculpey III, and Granitex are more pliable and easier to work with. I use both Sculpey III and Fimo, generally mixed together.
