Sculpey & Shrinkles


Whilst at The Range (our local cheapish shop!) on Thursday, we picked up some Sculpey. I thought this might be fun to work with... it is clay that stays maluable until it is baked. I think it feels very similar to plasticine when you're working with it, the difference being that once you bake Sculpey it goes hard. We had a wee go with it today... after the initial crisis of confidence ("why doesn't mine turn out the same way as the picture?"), we proceeded to make our own creations and much fun was had!

Bubbles also spent some time on her Flower Fairy Shrinkles. She has been enjoying the experience of these. They go in the oven for a few minutes, and come out several times smaller and thicker!
