kitchenwitchoftupper I love your way of "cheap" thinking! Did you try doing an internet search engine search? I can give you many uses for Avon's Skin So Soft, but that's not one of them. Laughing with you, not at you `Donna

maildumpster Definitely right - Do not mix clay with soap. The soap will break the clay down.

jbrowsin66 Yes, dishwashing soap sounds like of slimy. I think I made some clay or children's stuff with liquid starch once.. I haven't heard of any softening agents for fimo -I bought some and it was difficult to work with because it was so hard, but have you tried to...

maildumpster Do not microwave polymer clay. To warm it up which will help with softening put it in a plastic bag and put it in your pocket. (many women also put the clay under their breasts) Also some clays are much harder to soften than others.

wvclaylady My favorite way of softening (conditioning) clay is to use a food processor. It's amazing how soft and pliable it gets! But if you do use a food processor, don't use it for food afterwards. If your clay is still a bit firm, I would use a couple drops of the...

Does anyone know any sites for creating things in fimo? It's sort of like clay, but it's for molding jewelry beads and so on, I really need sites with tutorials and so on so I can get some good ideas!

SKLC_PT I was looking more for the exact sites, I was looking for some but it's exhausting, I hope someone already had some links to good ones they might have even tried. Preferably with picture guidance. But thanks anyway!
