More from SpiralHorn
This is just a sneak peak, I have to paint it yet. I have a few more examples of different species on the way.
It looks big in this photo, but it's about 1 1/4th inch long including the horns (a little longer than the diameter of a US quarter).
Made from Kato Polyclay, an awesome polymer that cures to something like a hard plastic or resin. Very strong and durable! I've yet to have something chip or break, and I've pushed the clay by making very tiny thin, delicate pieces.
Going into scraps later.

Yeah Sculpey's so disappointing, even Super and Sculpey 2 are pretty brittle.
This stuff is awesome, but it does have some draw backs. The lady who invented it intended on it being used for beadwork, and it shows. It doesn't hold detail very well, and can be really hard to soften, but once you get a feel for it, it's really nice. One thing I like about it, after you soften it and make a shape, if you let it sit for a bit it will harden up again, which is allows for manipulation without smooshing it. Also the surface will become a little sticky, and pieces will kind of... meld together a bit on their own.
The other downside is the smell. When it's raw and while it's baking, it reeks of plastic. It really does smell like chemicals and plastic. But once it's baked the smell goes away completely, unless you hold it right under your nose, then it smells kind of like old hay chafe? But it's not bad, and shouldn't be a deterrent.
But yeah, you should pick some up. It's worth trying out!
