My daughter warned me that Copic Sketch markers can be very addictive and sure enough, they are. I baked up another bunch of Sculpey and Fimo charms a few days ago and have been happily coloring them ever since. I have to tell you that the Sculpey charms have a little more dull finish than the ones shown here, which are Fimo. The ones shown in a previous post are the Sculpey ones. I already mentioned it, but I ordered a few more colors from Chris at Scrap Lovers in San Jose and I can hardly wait to get them so I can experiment even more. It occurred to me today that these remind me a little of scrimshaw.
On a related note, I have to confess that the Sculpey and Fimo are from a stash that I have had for over a decade. What is this stuff made from anyway? Neither one is even remotely dried out. The Fimo has always been difficult to get pliable enough to roll out but a passing decade plus has not made it any worse. And the Sculpey package had been previously opened, was not been sealed up in any way and it is just like brand new. I think it is weird on one level but on another I am happy so I didn't have to go rushing around trying to find some new. Finding anything in the realm of arts or crafts supplies around here in the area where I live. sigh
God, I miss California.
