Been having a bit of an experiment with the jolly ol poly clay not completely satisfied some of them worked very well but some didn't but thats what its all about some thing's I found out is
mistake No 1 if using colours and white you need to wash your hands before working on the white
mistake No 2 I forgot to add one of the colours on the leopard skin
Mistake No3 don't handle them to soon after applying the finish even if it feels dry
But it was great fun making up the different designs but I still have a way to go yet the flowers are from ebay they are meant for finger nails 3d decoration and although it is called cane they are already baked and hard now you can tear them to pieces LOL

I like 'em all, Woody! Yeah, I know what you mean in your comments - I don't think that me and Polly McClay are gonna get along!

What finish? I thought you just pop them in the oven and wait to cool down, sand them a bit (or a lot) and that is it... is it?

They look very nice BTW.

Apparently the clay needs a finish like any clay object I used a water based varnish that Fimo market for there clay but on the batch I made today I used CA as a finish much quicker
