#i do think it has more of a tendancy to crack than polymer clay too

[mapicccc]

Hi Quix, sorry for the bother but I've been possessed by the crafts demon but Im super inexperienced with clay, so... is there any brand/type you'd recommend? or like I should avoid?

cuz I could probably trial-error my way around the process itself but the clay is expensive where I live ($5~ for 57 grams) so id rather ask than become the clay monster

all the clay i use is original sculpey, I really haven't tried others besides airdry clay when I first started. it's a polymer clay and you just bake it in the oven according to instructions (all of mine are probably underbaked based on thickness, I don't know if this has effected things tbh). as much as I love what I do, I'm really not an expert. I use materials and tools that I'm used to and haven't tried new things since. getting better paint.

that's another thing, I don't use colored clay, but that's mostly just a preference thing. it's easier for me to take sculpting and colors as different steps.

good luck on your creation adventures anon, I look forward to seeing what you make o7
