Hello all, and a Merry Christmas. For the above Christmas, I am getting a lovely great box of Super Sculpey. I plan on turning the sketch below into a painted bust for my portfolio. Problem is, I have no experience with the stuff. Could some of you mighty beings enlighten me? I need to know: 1. Sanding. I hear you have to sand down sculpts post-baking in order to paint them? How does ...

If I am going to make a mold of the statue,what should I use? I like Super Sculpey because once I am happy with the result I can bake it rock hard, but Chavant is cheaper and seems better for detailed pieces (I also like the way it melts when using an alcohol torch).But I am afraid that it will suffer when molding. What do you think????Help me!!

I like to sketch in sculpey when taking a break from sketching and computer work. I get a little frustrated with the material sometimes, I'd like to create cleaner sculpts with straighter lines. Can any sculpey enthusiast give me some advice on the following: Sculpey, Sculpey II, Super Sculpey, or Premo, what do you like best? Best tools for working with sculpey - Plastic or metal? ...

Recently I've been on a bit of a part-time crusade to figure out how all those damned fairy sculpting artists go about making their creations so beautiful, specifically in skin tone. There's a sort of sub-surface scattering that makes all the skin on their works look so real, soft and alive. Acrylic obviously is not the answer. But just recently I picked up some super Sculpey and have been ...

New Media design is kind of like graphic design, except we focus on media for on-screen. So we design, program, animate and implement when needed. I just set up my Portfolio this weekend, though it's still in progress :9 Everything on there is my doing, spare the flash program. I could probably make one myself, but my as3 is pretty crap and it would take me forever to make a xml & php powered ...

I've always been really tempted to use seaweed to paper mache something, and now I finally did--a Christmas gift for my husband The castle wall is made from a canvas covered in paper mache, and the dragon is made of sculpey covered in seaweed mache. Mostly I did it as an experiment, but it turned out better than I thought it would And because I like my crafts to have a ...

hello again, so i started sculpting using super sculpey and my problem is that i cant achieve a smooth look. what tool do you guys use to smooth out the clay? it seems the only way i can smooth it out is using and pushing in with my fingers but then it doesnt look even and hard to do with detailed or small areas. ive tried using a paintbrush and sculpey diluent but that didn't do much either...

Do not use turpentine or turpenoid to smooth it out. That is for oil based clay. You want to use alcohol or one of the sculpey smoothing products you can buy.

I use RTV silicon for my molds all the time and I bake sculpey into them. The silicon is a two-part putty that you knead together in equal quantities. It allows 5 minutes for actually making the mold, then it starts to harden. It is quite flexible and does not stick to the clay. Hope this helps!
