Thank you , Martina and Clara. Finger painting is great and I will be crazily tempted to try it when I finally get brave enough to use oil paints on my cold porcelain, but it does kill your hands , really not to be done too often, I should have mentioned it in the video!

This is so pretty!!! I would love to use it for both gum paste and for polymer. When using it with polymer clay, at which stage would you bake the leaves: before coloring, after coloring, before adding the wire stem, after adding the wire stem?
Looking forward to your reply.

Hiya, thank you, this is air dry polymer clay , potato clay , which is very similar to Modena, which is what I normally use for this work, but I was just trying it out . I’ve never used non air dry clay
