ArtSkills - Art Elements Oven Bake Polymer Clay, 2oz, Baby Blue

You've GOTTA try this new “Art Skills” polymer clay, you WILL NOT be disappointed! I absolutely LOVE EVERYTHING about it, from the price, to the vast %26 GORGEOUS color selection, availability, %26 ESPECIALLY the consistency of the bricks! As a clay artist, my “go-to” is typically Fimo brand-as I prefer a nice, firm clay. (This allows me to easily create pieces that won't deform due to hand temp while handling the clay) I didn't have high hopes in trying this brand, mainly bc many reviewers wrote such negative things-HOWEVER, I feel that's a lack of knowledge on their part, 100%!!! THIS CLAY ROCKS! IMO-it's a fantastic Fimo dupe! (honestly, they're SO comparable, at a FRACTION of the cost!) Additionally, I've conducted multiple fracture tests in this clay, %26 am blown away at the strength %26 flexibility of this polymer! (Phenomenal adhesion properties as well!) I absolutely LOVE this clay, %26 my customers do too; I take pride in my work, using only the BEST items for my pieces, and all the “Art Skills” line has gotten my full stamp of approval! (**TIP:** since the clay IS a “harder” clay, just slice the brick a bit thinner, %26 roll it…it'll become beautifully soft %26 workable in no time!)

Unfortunately, the ARTSKILLS polymer clay that I bought was old, so it wasn't very pliable and after baking it had cracks. Normally this polymer clay is very good. I had to run it under hot water to make it more pliable. I guess it was sitting in the store for too long.
