Has anyone used this transfer paper? It’s not working for me and I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong

Help me name this little shit.

I can’t tell if I like them or not but I am proud of how they turned out considering I have never put earrings like this together. Also had to put my own chain together by hand with jump rings, next time I will have better supplies to make the process much easier🙂‍↕️

I recently made 14 of these Aspergillus fungus girl ornaments as party favors for a small dinner gathering I attended. I wanted them to all feel similar in style, so I started with a press mold and then modified each one individually by hand.

I baked them multiple times throughout the sculpting process. The lighter grey areas are Aves Apoxie Sculpt, while all of the green areas are polymer clay. They were finished using Gemini Heat Set paints.

I struggled the most with attaching and blending the head to the body, I’ve been using Sculpey

Made with sculpey premo, acrylic paints, and Let's Resin UV cure resin.

I waited, used a flame to get the bubbles out and suddenly a LOT of bubbles appeared a few minutes after curing. How does a bubble appear after curing???? I am devastated right now because he is supposed to be part of my art show display in 2 days and I don’t have any more clay to redo him.

First time I’ve used clay in a while and I love how it came out!

I sculpted this cat’s head and paws from polymer clay, the eyes are glass cabochons, and the body was sewn from faux fur. I slightly painted the nose and paws with pink acrylic paint.

Has anyone tried any of the Kmart ovens specifically? I'm looking to get something on the cheap and small side because I don't have space and my kitchen oven is broken. I've read that small ovens like this aren't the best since they can burn the clay easily and the heating component is too close to the clay, but I've also seen a lot of people using toaster ovens fine, so I'm a little lost. I've read a lot of the posts on The Blue Bottle Tree and also watched YouTube videos for information and instructions, but I'm still quite unsure how to proceed.

If you have any personal experience with this, please do provide me with further details if possible. Tips and advice heavily appreciated too.

So, I did a bake to save progress, and I'm not enjoying this as much anymore.

I spend a lot of time reworking the clay because I'm figuring out how it's supposed to look as I go. And I like building bits up, not necessarily adding 2 finished bits together if that makes sense.

I think I underestimated how much I'd be adding new clay to baked clay, and the process is horrible.

I'm scoring the baked clay, adding a bit of liquid clay, then a layer of fresh clay to build off. But it's long-winded, and I'm not convinced I'm going to get a strong bond when it's baked again.

Does anyone have any tips to make it easier or more enjoyable?

Hi all!

Recently I’ve been wanting some little figurines of our puppies to sit on my computer desk, so I decided to buy myself a little block of polymer clay and try my hand at making some myself!

After a few ‘false starts’ here’s where I’m currently up to with my humble little beginner’s attempt at creating a mini figurine of our bernedoodle puppy 😇

Truth be told, I’m a little stuck on how to sculpt the body, and I keep accidentally smudging details as I keep working on it 🤣 but the learning curves and stumbling blocks are all part of the fun of learning a new craft!

It's based off of the Pokemon Time series :)

Also, don’t get too close, the warts are catching.
