nice job on the mould -m what's it made of ?
And what shop can you buy newclay from ?
The finish looks like fimo - the oven hardening plastic i used to make things out of 20 or 30 years ago.
Quote:Newclay is a reinforced air-drying modelling clay. It is a unique product, providing the attributes of clay with the convenience of other modelling materials, yet it is characterised by being non-sticky and with slow shrinkage during drying. Newclay is malleable, it air dries without the need for heating, it can be used with professional pottery tools and, as it is nylon reinforced, it will not go brittle. It is suitable for use by both children and adults. While its reinforced finish makes it exceptionally strong, Newclay Hardeners (H1 or H2) can be applied to improve durability of the final article. For best results, finished pieces should be decorated with a good quality ceramic or acrylic paint and finished with Newclay Gloss or Newclay Satin. Newclay can also be kiln-fired with exceptional results.
Hmm, so a sort of hybrid between clay and polymer.
Not terribly enviromentally friendly though - full of nylon strands.
But interesting with the hardener.
Be interesting to see if it sticks to my press moulds.
