This week I'm...

Making little penguin charms! I'm hoping to start selling at some point, but these were really just for fun :)





There's Daddy penguin, Mummy penguin and little Baby penguin.

Meanwhile the rain is pouring outside, and I'm wondering if it really is the middle of July. I know English summers are terrible, but this is just getting silly!

Premo! Sculpey

Today was the first time I'd used Premo! and I have to say - I'm quite pleased. I say quite, because after reading all the praise I'd heard (and how it was so supposedly better than my usual Fimo Soft) it still didn't seem much better...

Pro's
  • I was using white, and it did stay white, even when baked.
  • Didn't take as much conditioning as I'd thought - about the same time as Fimo did to warm up.
Con's
  • It was a terror for getting fingerprints. Even more so than Fimo Soft, which was supposed to be the worst one. Maybe because it was white they showed up more, but I felt like my poor little charms were being tainted :(
  • Although it was easy to condition, after just a few minutes I had to start all over again, as it'd start cracking "/
Anyhow, I'll post some piccy's later and you can be the judge of how they turned out!
