3️⃣ Tips for Conditioning Polymer Clay

1. If your edges of your clay are jagged, your clay is not fully conditioned

2. Always run your clay through your pasta machine with the crease on the side to prevent air from getting trapped in your clay

3. As a rule of thumb, you should be running your clay through your pasta machine AT LEAST 20 times (usually even more than that) do this until you have smooth edges around your piece of clay- that’s how you’ll know it’s conditioned.

Conditioning your clay helps prevent bubbles, and drastically increases the durability of your clay piece. That’s how you achieve the “bend test” results.

Found your work through desperate searches for sylvanian family customisation or recolour resources and WOW your art/characters/worldbuilding are also astoundingly good... gonna be scrolling here a while. Out of curiosity do you do custom/commissioned sylvanian figures or do you have a tutorial/materials list someplace? Thanks for reading!!

Aw gosh, thank you, Anon!

I did one custom commission as an experiment (which I'm sure you've seen if you looked through the tag) and it was pretty fun, but man are these things a time suck! I tried to do too many dolls in too short of a time, got kind of burned out on them, and haven't touched them in months... I'm currently trying to work up motivation to get back into it and finish the projects I have materials for. If I do, I'll take pictures this time and put together a proper tutorial.

Unfortunately I can't take any commissions right now, but I'd be happy to share a materials list! It's under the cut:

The paint used is basic acrylic paint, like the kind you can get from Walmart or craft stores for under two bucks. There's a bit of a trick to painting them without making the fur clumpy, I described the painting process here!

For the hair, you'll want doll hair ("My Little Pony" size is way more than sufficient), a hair rooting tool/kit, and either a heat gun or blow dryer. I wrote some notes on hair rooting Sylvanian Family dolls here.

For the clothes, you can use a number of different fabrics, but you want it to be very, very thin. That super cheap, thin cotton fabric you can find at Joann Fabrics is pretty perfect and comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns, though some stuff like doll-sized flannel you might have to look online for (or DIY--you can use acrylic paint on fabric, it just makes it stiffer). I use ribbon for trim. Other accessories like jewelry, buttons, chains, crystals, and belts can be sourced from craft stores, too... I usually just bring my WIP doll with me in my pocket and hold it up next to anything I'm interested in buying to check if the sizing is right (the lady at the fabric cutting station was incredibly charmed by them, hah). For more specialty items, like tiny hats and replica firearms, you will probably need to look online.

If you can't find a specific accessory, or need to sculpt something like armor, you can try making it out of epoxy clay and painting it with the same acrylic paint you used for the figure. Mod Podge will help seal it and give it a nice glossy finish. (Do not use Mod Podge on Sculpey--it makes it sticky!)

Tails are generally pipe cleaners or occasionally pom poms. Cut the original tail off with wire cutters, digging out as much of it as you can, and super glue the new tail in the hole.

Horns are done with epoxy clay. For big horns on the head, I use wire cutters to cut the pointy part off a pin, embed that in the clay horn, and then stick the end of the pin into the plastic head to more securely anchor it.

Bat and dragon wings are done with leather sheets you can buy from a craft store.

Other essentials: Super glue, sewing kit, Dritz fray check. Super glue is essential for both tails/horns/etc and clothing (it's often better for ultra-fine detail than sewing). Sewing kit is needed for clothing. You will not have much success with clothing without Dritz fray check. It keeps the edges of the fabric from disintegrating, which is a major concern when working on such a tiny scale.

Also this isn't a material so much as a tip: I often use the pointy end of a pin to do fine detail painting. It's also useful for sculpting miniatures.

Hope that helps! Good luck on your customization ventures, and feel free to ask if you have any more questions!

This is a commission set of embroidery bobbin charm earrings I made! The custom color request was for DMC #3844. You can order a set of your own with colors of your choice with custom metal finding options over on my kofi’s commission page. (Or check out the shop section for DIY charm pieces to make your own!) The rainbow ones sold at a craft show, but I’d like to make more of those.

[ID: First photo shows two small embroidery bobbin charm pieces wrapped with blue thread next to metal jewelry jump rings and earring findings. To the right of the pieces waiting to be assembled are various tools including needle-nose pliers, embroidery scissors, tweezers, and embroidery needles. The second photo shows the assembled blue embroidery bobbin charm earrings hanging from a black display card with several sets of other bobbin charm jewelry dangling in the background. End.]

Not Archive tags:

Not Archive - Posts that aren't from the original blog

Archivist update - An update from me! This is to differentiate it from which-item-poll's original tag 'update'

Archivist responds - If I reblog with a comment or reply to an ask, it's under this tag

Archivist reblog - I've reblogged something not related to the archive. Probably myself.

Survey - Asking for your opinions before doing something new, changing something or updating something

Scheduled - A non-archive post that I scheduled to post later.

Image restoration - Sometimes images get broken. This is for posts where I find the original image and re-upload it to the post. (usually as a reblog). There's none that have been published yet but there's some in the queue.

Tag directory - This post! I might break this post up into three smaller posts to make it easier to use (especially as more months get added). In which case, they'll all have this tag!

Archival tags:

Which-item-poll archive - All archived posts have this tag, unless I've made a mistake on one of them. This way you can browse the blog without seeing non-archive posts, but you don't have to pick a category

No original tags - If a post didn't have tags on it when I archived it, I added this tag. This way everyone knows (including me) that I didn't just forget to add them when I reblogged the post.

Posts by month of when they were originally posted

(More month tags will be added as posts from those months are published)

January 2024

January 2024 (chronological order)

February 2024

February 2024 (chronological order)

March 2024

March 2024 (chronological order)

Categories

Please keep in mind that I am having to adjust the tags on posts as they exit the queue as I can only see one of the images in the mass post editor. If something is in the wrong tag or should be in a category but isn't please let me know!

The original blog added descriptive tags to items starting in June. However, since a lot of them are quite item-specific, I've decided to tag some broad categories for the sake of browsing.

Clothing and accessories - Where you'll find clothes, bags, jewelry, watches and wearables

Charms and Keychains - Items that are meant to be attached to accessories or your keys. In days of yore they would adorn your phone.

Cosmetics and Bathoom - Bath mats, soap dispensers, nail products, soap and bath products

Stickers and stationary - Stickers, notebooks, pens, memo pads and other related items (Cardboard, paper, staples ect)

Art and prints - Prints, posters, postcards and bookmarks. Digital art and adoptables. If its by an etsy artist and it's not a sticker, charm or keychain then its in here.

Crafts and activities - Anything with a DIY element, whether it's a set of yarn, crocheting needles, or a 3D sculpture that you assemble at home

Home Decor - Furniture, decorative items for homes, plant related items, display knick knacks.

Kitchenwares - Plates, cups, bowls, kitchen tools and appliances. And also drink bottles.

Food and drink - Edibles and drinkables. Snacks, lollies and sodas. It's food and drink, its what it says on the tin (and not water bottles)

Toys and games - Board games, cards, figures, toys and plushies are in here

Plushies - Plushies also have their own category, because sometimes a plushie is a toy and sometimes it is a bag (or socks or some other item)

Sensory and Fidgets - Fidget toys, slimes, fidget wearables and other sensory products.

Electronics and related items - Electronics, computer accessories, accessories for computer accessories such as custom keycaps and anything that needs to be plugged in or have a battery. Phone cases too.

Instruments - Musical instruments. Some of them are also in electronics if they are electric guitars or such.

Smoking and related paraphernalia - Anything to do with weed or smoking. I have no idea how tumblr acts if you tag something with weed, hence the name. Also I think some THC gummies are in here.

Sex toys - A tag from the original blog. None are posted yet but they're coming soon. Please remember to block the tag #tw nsfw if you don't want to see these items!

Misc - Anything that I had trouble categorizing or was too specific for its own categories ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Jokes and Japes - Polls that are meant to be funny or memeish. Includes April Fools and Halloween.

Which-item-polls original recurring tags (such as "not a poll") should eventually have their own category, but its difficult to document them properly when they're not all posted. I'll get to it sometime. 🛌🏼

Jewelry Making: Stamping initials, names, or designs onto rings, bracelets, and pendants.

2. Design Stamps

Feature unique symbols, patterns, or logos for decorative marking.

Commonly used in jewelry making and crafts.

3. Industrial Stamps

Made for heavy-duty applications like marking machine parts, tools, and industrial equipment.

Can be used manually or with a hydraulic press for deeper impressions.

4. Custom Metal Stamps

Designed specifically for branding or unique designs.

Useful for businesses that need customized logos or markings.

How to Choose the Right Metal Stamp

When selecting a metal stamp, consider the following factors:

Material Compatibility: Ensure the stamp is suitable for the metal you are working with (e.g., aluminum, brass, stainless steel).

Size and Font: Choose a size that fits your design needs and a font that is clear and readable.

Durability: Opt for hardened steel stamps for long-term use.

Ease of Use: Hand stamps are ideal for small projects, while machine-assisted stamps work best for high-volume production.
