This
last week I was able to get my hands on some of the new Sculpey
Souffle polymer clay that is replacing Sculpey IIII. I decided to do
a video of my initial thoughts on this clay and also what I think of
some of the other brands of clay that are available.
Remember
these are my views and opinions. Your experience may be different. We
all like things for different reasons. I am just trying to let you
know what I thin about the products, mainly because people ask my
opinion.
When
I started in polymer clay there weren't the choices (at least not
here locally) that there are now. Between more items available in
stores and then all the items available online it can be confusing to
try to pick out a new product. That was why I made this video. I hope
it helps you to choose the right clay for you.
I
really do like the 3 packages of Souffle that I purchased and I am
looking forward to it being more widely available. While I am sad to
see all the wonderful colors of Sculpey III going away it is exciting
to be able to use this new product. I am glad it is a bit firmer than
the Sculpey III and I am very happy that (at least with the ones I
got) the colors don't seem to bleed onto my hands as much. I was also
happy with the baked samples, they baked up fairly close to raw clay
color. It can be very hard to mix colors and make items with clays
that color shift when you bake them.
So
the clays that I will probably be using most in the future seem to
be: Premo, Souffle and Fimo Soft. I do want to get my hands on the
new Fimo Professional at leas to try it out.
