I managed to buy Fimo polymer clay locally, but there are other makes mainly Sculpey (by Polyform) and Cernit. Look at the links at the end of this blog for more info.
These farm animals are really cute and I got the idea from http://www.sculpey.com/projects/friendly-farm-characters
Apart from the polymer clay you’ll need the sculpturing tools, a knife and paper. The paper is needed to work the clay on, since you can stain furniture. Clean hands between different colours as when you knead the clay, some gets on your hand and transfers to the next colour you work with.
You can adjust the clay as you need before baking, but once the figure is baked you cannot alter the shape or look of your project.
Fimo colours can be blended with each other to form a new colour, like yellow & blue gives you green. It is somewhat time consuming so it might be practical to buy the correct colour right away – it all depends on the amount you need.
I still need to make these figures nicer before baking, so this project might be considered WIP.
Happy claying!
