steampunk charms - How To: Weekly contest by @mailein

in #howtoweekly6 years ago (edited)

Hello everyone, this time I come with a creative process Steampunk style Charms made in different materials which are similar to the Polymer Clay but with a difference and is that these are not baked, well without limiting let's start.

DAS putty is a paste similar to clay, it is dried in the open air and to mold it, only water is needed, it is fast drying and absorbs paint very well.

Flexible dough is a homemade dough based on glue and cornstarch or cornstarch, its drying time varies depending on the size and thickness of the piece, to mold it requires hand cream or glycerin; the pieces stick together with white glue.

This mass is not so easy to handle, since poor handling can create cracks in the piece and sometimes are difficult to cover, you can color before molding with chalk, acrylics and oil; but in my opinion and taste I prefer to work it and then paint it. Once dry this tent tends to reduce its size due to the glue but once dry it is very firm and is difficult to break.

Have you had a go with metal clays before? they're very cool. works like clay then when you fire it it becomes metal, silver, and copper i've seen but im sure theres more
