My another take on improving my hand anatomy. I'm pretty satisfied especially by the painting which ended up quick and effective ;)

My hands feel like death. Translucent polyclay is like a brick.

How do you preserve your hands when you are dealing with clay that literally crumbles like unfrozen cheese?? I have this block of translucent clay I bought yesterday and I've been trying to reactivate this stuff for like 4 hours if not more. Chopped it up, tossed it into a plastic bag, added Sculpty thinner, heated it up, made it into a stew...

This stuff is so dry STILL. I finally small amounts of it into a somewhat pliable form but it's still cracking very easily so I know it's not ready for prime time. -_- RIP my digits.

If I take a break, the clay get's cold and instantly hard again.

DIY Incense Holder Advice Needed

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I want to surprise my friend with a tinned fish incense holder. I want to make it out of polymer clay, and I also want to use paint for the details. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for paints and clay glaze.

I have never painted on polymer clay before, and I am worried about it starting a fire. I know it is hard for incense sticks to start fires to things, but I am still a little worried. I see online that a lot of people just use acrylic, but I kinda want it to look glossy.
