Polymer Clay crafting for the 1st time!!! X)

So i have been wanting to craft something out of polymer clay for a long time, so the starting of my sem break i decided to buy some to try it out, but i was looking for clay that is not too pricey(as im a student), n i actually did saw the Malaysia Clay Art online shop on Facebook long time ago n eagerly wants to try it out as it was to me affordable as a student wif my tiny bit of penny X)
I bought some basic colours, n at first i was so paranoid i used so many plastic wraps to prevent it from drying out which was really tiring
But to my notice, some of the small piece of clay tat i left outside the plastic wrap didnt dry out as i thought it would(as many sites says some well known brand do dry out or crumble), i add a very little amount of water n tadaaa! it was all nice n soft again~~ <3





On the other hand, for colouring it works terrific wif my leftover acrylic paints~ sadly a few of them dried out like my blue...which is my favourite, i guess i will just hv to buy blue clay or another set of acrylic paint T^T(my wallet~~)
I'm planning on using pastel colour soon when i get to buy it~





then comes another challenge is tat i always get fingerprints on my clay when im shaping, luckily i looked up the net it says put on some Corn flour on ur hand it should solve the problem!









Then comes the hard part, baking, although the website has stated clearly about the temperature but im nt quite familiar wif my own oven, ends up...burning a few of my crafts TT but it was alright~it was worth the try as i did a few more time i kinda understand how it works!

*So i recommend like seriously do a tiny experiment b4 u burn ur hardwork !

Last but not least~ i still had lots of fun in my polymer clay crafting~ <3 








I shall hv more crafts in future!
For now, Happy craftingg!
