Right now I'm experimenting with some materials other than polymer clay, like 'Pretex'. It's a hardener and you can work with it by dipping pieces of cloth in it and letting those dry. During dry fase it stiffens and becomes quite hard. This way you can create clothes on figures which look realistic without having to shape them with polymer clay. You can still add clay, for example air dried clay, to create the head, hands, and rest of the figure.

There'll be some images here soon.
