Polymer Clay for making Smurfy scenery?
PostPosted: Sat Apr 21, 2012 8:03 pm
I was just wandering through this forum, checking out all the fun stuff, and I saw Steve's (?) flour/salt/water clay mushroom houses (love 'em!). I want to make some "scene sets" for my smurf collection, and I was thinking polymer clay would be the perfect medium - easy to work with, easy to store, and it's already colored so I wouldn't have to paint (I can do clay work, painting...not so much).
Has anyone tried this? I've got a couple sets planned out to start with...a baseball stadium, and a beach/lake set. Both sets will have riser steps or benches on the back and sides for smurfs not directly involved in the scene to stand on, so I can just switch out and store the scenes for different seasons, but not have to store the smurfs themselves.
Now I just need to decide which to start with...maybe the beach, since that will require less separate colors...
