[Deco Clay] Martha Stewart's Air Dry CLay

 Yeeee-ha!  

The Cabby Crafter sends you warm greetings from our new home, far from the harsh and dreary winter snow.

The past 3 weeks have been crazy and slowly, I'm starting to settle down.

My craft bins have been idle for a long time but I was able to craft today.

I recently discovered that Martha Stewart released air-dry clay kits.  I always love the quality and design of her products so I bought a kit and a silicone mold.  This particular kit:  Crafter's Clay Nature Starter Kit -  includes 4 molds, 2 tools, 1 white clay and 4 primary colored clay.

It was my first time to work with air-dry clay and for me, it is handled differently from baked polymer clay.

The clay itself is wet (a bit sticky) and flexible; it is easier/quicker to combine the colors.

The molds are really nice and detailed.  I made flowers using the molds and free-hand roses too.

It dried in an hour but took about a day to completely dry.

Once the piece was dry, it was lightweight and can be glued to complete a design.

It was perfect timing that I don't have my polymer clay oven yet so I was able to play with air-dry clay.

I have ideas racing in my head using this technique and material.  Let's hope that it will materialize.

Have a great week, friends!

Hugs,
