Translucent Liquid Sculpey Techniques

Translucent Liquid Sculpey is a liquid form of polymer clay that can be used both with solid polymer clay and other craft materials. It has the appearance of white glue, yet has a viscous and slightly sticky texture. Although initially translucent, the Liquid Sculpey can be tinted to any color with a variety of pigments. The liquid clay needs to be cured by baking in a conventional, toaster, or convection oven. It can be applied to any material that can withstand baking at 275 degrees (F).

Working with Liquid Polymer Clay - Associated Content

Translucent polymer clay is useful for designs that need to be less opaque, but it never cures perfectly clear. Liquid polymer clay has the potential to be much clearer, but you may need to modify some of your techniques to be successful with it. Here are some tips for working with this relatively new form of clay.

Layered Dichroic Effects

The first person I ever recall using these foils (not leaf) on clay was Nancy Banks at a long ago Ravensdale. With their metallic sheen, they're a natural for polymer dichroic effects. Artist, Lisa Pavelka has created beautiful work with her technique. This is my spin on dichroic glass

Leaf Fossil Pendants - Sculpey Clay Projects

Preserve a memory of a walk in the woods, a favorite garden plant, or sitting in the shade of a beloved tree by molding leaves with Sculpey Flex. Or, if it's the dead of winter and all the leaves are gone, use some fern from the florist, as I did here!
