My sleeping fairy. I just pulled her out of the oven! She was still warm while I was taking the pics! 😀
Mine too….and I fought to get a reproduction of him too. 😥 But, I did learn an awful lot on the way. On a later note, the fairy is sooo cute in person! She’s actually slightly smaller than the curled dragon, I keep picking her up and holding her. I cant wait to paint some! Still working on the pour process. Hopefully we’ll have it conquered soon. The last batch was SOOO close, but it still had teeny pinhole bubbles. We’re almost there. 🙂
Hi Purplecat, I will be atempting to sculpt a bobcat with wings but I’ve never used sculpey before and might need your advice if you will give it. I don’t know how much to buy and how thick I can make it since from what I have read in your post, it must be cured.

From what I’ve noticed you can use however much you want, just follow the box instructions. However, it’s REALLY important to remember it’s better to overcook your sculpt than to undercook. you just bake it in your oven at 275. The box will tell you how to figure how long to cook it. I always overguess on time. If undercooked, the center of your sculpt will be soft and the hard outer layers will develop a bunch of cracks as it cools. Sometimes for bigger pieces I’ll make a blob of aluminum foil to use as a base, to help me use less of my clay. 🙂
I received a painting on heavy stock paper in a PVC tube once, so unless the post office has grown even more anal, you should be able to use one to ship 2D artwork.
I saw your memorial 🙁 . Do you think you’ll try to remake the 1st dragonsnail? He was my favorite.
I restarted the dragonsnails today. I’m gonna redesign them so they’ll be more casting friendly. The ears had to go, they were one of the biggest problems…I’m redesigning the wing style so they wont shatter during a demold. I also didn’t think they looked realistic enough, so I’m gonna work on making them more lifelike. Also making molds for some of the newer sculpts this week! The sleeping fairy and the sleeping mermaid are the ones I’m the most excited about. 😀
He’s coming along soooo much nicer this time!! So much better looking too! I cant wait! I know what colors I’ll be doing them in too!
