Clay and Ceramics

How should I start

23 years ago

I think I know where my clay is and Michaels has Sculpy for $1 this week

What is a simple (very) project I can start on?

I think I have a slicer and some molds.

Back in the 70's my sister used sculpy for all her mini projects.

Shouldn't have walked away from the puter before I hit submit! LOL!

The simplest of all is to just roll it out in sheets and rubber stamp into it, either with or without ink. You can dust the clay with pearl-ex or chalk for added color. It's like making sugar cookies! Great for jewelry or ornaments, or cover a small box with sheets of stamped clay and bake.
Did you see the Carol Duvall show last week where the girl from Kato clay covered a little stack of matchboxes? It was an easy project and she did a nice marbled effect just with twisting clay into snakes. Sculpey is not a real strong clay so it would work well for covering something where you leave the form underneath.
