 WHITE PREMO SCULPY CLAY/2oz. BLOCK
Premo Sculpey CLAY conditions quickly without additives. This clay responds to hand heat much more quickly than other clays. Seams are quickly and easily blended and hidden, with very strong welds.
Some clays lose their integrity if leaching of plasticizer is necessary. For these applications Premo Sculpey is ideal. Premo Sculpey doesn't drag on the slicing blade, allowing fine accurate slices. Multiple baking using the "layering technique" is possible; easily add new clay to baked pieces and rebake. PERFECT SIZE FOR SEVERAL SMALL CLAY ACCESSORIES TO SOME PRIM PATTERNS
(only white available).

Designs - Stuffing Tips
I used to be a victim of
stuffing but no more!! I think stuffing well is one of the
hardest things to learn. It makes such a difference for
something to be stuffed well. A smooth texture with an all
over evenness gives your doll such a professional touch. I
would like to share a few stuffing techniques with you.
When the project calls for stuffing to be in a specific
area like hands, fingers and noses then a STUFFING FORK can be
helpful. You lay a small amount of stuffing in the ditch
between two of your fingers. Lay the stuffing fork on top of
the stuffing the long way over stuffing laying in the ditch
and close over it with your thumb. Turn the handle of the fork
so that the fibers catch - keep turning until the outside
fibers eventually wind themselves over the entire end of the
fork forming a long Q-Tip type shape. It should be even and
compact.
Gently glide the fork up into the finger or other desired
area. Hold from the outside and back the tool out. Your
finger, nose, etc. will be neatly stuffed - firm and
permanent. When you are doing this you need to be sure you
keep a constant upward thrust until you reach the desired
location so your stuffing does not fall off the fork.
I use a combination of STUFFING FORKS and hemostats to
stuff my projects. I find one does not replace the other and
that various sizes are necessary depending on your project. If
I have a long leg to stuff then I use a good size piece of
stuffing and shove it down into the foot with a hemostat. Then
I follow with a compacting shove using a STUFFING FORK. I
always compact my stuffing in the center where the bones would
be. This creates a little hole and as you put your next piece
of stuffing in - it fits down into the hole and you continue
this process until your leg or arm is stuffed. I prefer to use
a stuffing that has a lot of spring in it - I personally use
Fairfield's SOFT TOUCH SUPREME. Use large pieces of stuffing.
The fewer pieces of stuffing you have the less opportunity you
will have to create cellulite!
I am going to give you a little diagram of how to stuff a leg
properly so there is no break at the ankle. No matter how you
pose your doll there will be tremendous pressure at the ankle.
If you can avoid filling the foot and then proceeding into the
leg right at the ankle you will have a much stronger ankle and
a stronger leg. Check it out!!
