Durable clays
The clays described here are all polymer clays. I've categorized them here because
of their durability, which means they're quite strong after baking and you can sand
and buff them. Fimo and Premo Sculpey fall into this category.
Almost all my models so far are made with FIMO.
I haven't had too much experience with Premo because it's not available in the Netherlands. But, after hearing lots of great stuff about it on the newgroups I ordered it from the US. And they were right! It really is great polymer clay! It sticks even better to metal wire and tinfoil as Fimo, it doesn't crumble so you can create even smaller details, and it's stronger after baking. Although I have used Fimo for a few years now, Premo's rapidly becoming my most favorite clay. The only problem I encountered was creating hard edges, which is easier with Fimo.
