I need help with making figures

Some people use modeling chocolate, it has the smoothness of fondant but takes longer to dry. I used to make gumpaste with Gum Tragacanth. Let me see if I can find a recipe for you.

Hey Bronecia…. When I started making figurines, I used you tube tutorials…. There are so many! Sometimes, I just use plain fondant to make figurines, you just have to make sure you let each bit dry completely before putting it together…. It takes a while to get comfortable doing them, and lots of practice- good luck and have fun:)

Here is a recipe I found online that doesn’t require Tylose or Gum Trangacanth. I have not tried this myself so am not sure how well it works.
EASY GUMPASTE RECIPE
Ingredients
1 Lb Powdered Sugar Fine -10X plastic bag
1 Packet Knox Gelatin
2 TBS of Lemon juice
3 TBS of Water
1 Tsp of Glucose
Instructions
Add gelatin, water & juice over double boiler; dissolve about 5 to 7 minutes. Add glucose stir. Use a mixer with dough hook. Place sugar in mixer then add liquid mix until slightly together remove and knead. If it feels too sticky add a little more sugar. Wrap with plastic wrap and place in plastic bag, seal. Let rest over night.

I just bought tylose powder, I ordered it directly from wilton.com

I use Satin Ice Fondant for my figurines, sometimes i use Tylose, sometimes I don´t, depends on the rush, and the weather of course.
The way I create my figurines, is from bottom to top, and letting dry and harden between each piece.
