My 1st polymer clay project

I always wanted to explore into polymer clay ever since I started my handmade jewelry hobby. There's so many type and brand of clay available in the market now, eg Fimo, Premo and Sculpy; and I really do not know which one to buy. So I just kept them aside till 2 month back, I met a lady during Arts for Grab bazaar. She was selling miniature made from polymer clay, that can be turn into earrings, phonecharms, bracelet etc. After getting some basic infomations, I decided to buy the clay from her, which is a New Zealand manufactured clay - Du Kit.

Last week I finally bought an oven to start my project. I was so excited yesterday playing with the clay. I made a miniature doll, a orange cat, a chick and 3 mini cupcakes. The colours are so nice and I just can't wait to bake them.

arranging them nicely in the oven

Oh no!!!!!!!

What happen to my miniature??? All burnt!!!!!

I'm not too sure what has went wrong, as I've already follow every step in the instruction manual. Maybe I need to set the temperature lower? Or I have too little things to bake, so I don't have to bake too long? I'll gotto try that to know~

Back to basic

Still remember playing and trying to mold something out of sticky dirty clay in primary school? Things improved a lot, nowadays clay comes in various attractive colours and they are easier to manage. I got a set of Korean polymer clay from Art Friends few weeks back. Thought it will be fun playing together with my 3 years old nephew, Ivan.

To my expectation, Ivan loves it very much. Though he still do not know how to make anything out of it, but he really treasure those little toy made by Chia & me. Looking forward for the next clay session and more little toy for Ivan & meimei Reanne too.

幸福在哪里？

看到一篇朋友传来的 email，觉得蛮有意思的。 文字虽然简单， 但它在我茫然无助时，确实提点了我， 在此与大家分享。

你不能决定生命的长短，但你能控制它的宽度，
你不能左右天气，但你能改变心情，
你不能改变容貌，但你能展现笑容，
你不能控制他人，但你能掌握自己，
你不能预知明天，但你能利用今天，
你不能样样胜利，但你能事事尽力，
愿大家以快乐的心情来面对生活的每一天。
