Will bring it back down soon and find time to work on it. Will bury him in the garden so bits of him are poking out, lol.<br />Thank you again for the clay.

Thank you for thinking of me. It will take me forever and a day to use the clay from Ira. I tend not to use large amounts.<br />I was running out of all the coloured clays and mostly just had orange left. I still have the whites and translucent from when i tried to make food (can't make food for the life of me).<br />The clay i loved was the translucent 00 which they stopped. If you have that its like gold dust.<br />Thank you for thinking of me, but it would be greedy for me to accept. If there is anyone else in need would be lovley if it could go to them.<br /><br />Nikki xxxnikkinikkinikki72https://www.blogger.com/profile/05767492628469316379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898450558981750637.post-41688664406794872962010-06-23T21:10:13.856+01:002010-06-23T21:10:13.856+01:00Geesh....I need to proof read before I hit "s...Geesh....I need to proof read before I hit "send".

Just keep it in the package and whack it on all sides with a rubber mallet. I did this on the concrete in the garage with my old crumbly stuff and it worked great. Saw this technique on a website. Afterwards it takes no more than the normal amount of conditioning and it is perfect! SO consider taking that old Fimo cause it is a lot betther than the new stuff.<br /><br />Love those sleepy punkins...Tabitha Corsicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09204999959878537971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898450558981750637.post-47771867741617759402010-06-23T21:04:47.175+01:002010-06-23T21:04:47.175+01:00Julie.
