Holy crow, those are itty bitty! I am guessing you have a very soft hand
and gentle touch. I am thinking I would end up mushing the poor diver.
They look great. Would
love some in one of my 5 fish tanks <g>

Hi,
The tools are your fingers and toothpick, sometime for really small figure,
I fashion my own tiny tools from needle, thick aluminium foil. To get to the
detail of any subject your reference books are important.
Thanks,

Not a good idea to be putting poly clay items in with your live
fish.

Firefly and I had already decided that the pike cichlids (sp) would prolly
try and eat em. Dang greedy critters. Woke up one morning to find one
of them had tried to swallow a rather large rasbora. I ended up having
to catch it, put it in a bowl and grab the tail of the rasbora (already deceased
unfortunately) and extricate it by vigorously shaking. (Silly pike...rasboras
are way to big for you.) The pike is fine now though. I guess once a pary

Thanks for your comments, I realised that there are many others like you
are worried about toxication in marine life, but polymer clay are like plastic
when baked. If, it is non toxic to human after twenty over years of constantly
using the clay, then it should be fine with my fish in the pond. So far
I 've tasted it and it is perfectly fine.

You can check out my clay information link. we will be conducting
test with salt water fishes it will be months of testing.

Well... they suggest not using poly clay on the eating portions
of utensils because it's porous, at least that's what I understand.
So, I wouldn't risk putting it in with my fish, it is a closed
environment afterall..

Yes,
some of the polymer clay are porous, but you need to
use quality clay, Sculpey Premo, Fimo Classic and Cernit.
Baking Premo at the specified temperature and leaving it in the
oven after 15min. of baking will strengthen the polymer clay.
Alternatively, if you mixed Cernit with Premo it will be a
better combination. Cernit will not be porus. Do not mixed
too much Cernit with too little Premo, the proportion is
1/4 Cernit to 3/4 Premo. You will need to form the shape
of the tiny figure, using totally Cernit will be too soft after
kneading and it is difficuilt to make very tiny miniature.
I had utilized the same convection oven to heat up my
bread and it is all right provided you clean the oven.
Never over bake the clay by setting temperature beyond
150ºC it is best at 130ºC at this temperature, even if
you left the clay for more than 40min. you will not burn
your polymer clay creation.
Thanks,
Regards,
Garie

You could make your own hands free magnifier, but all this while
I do not use any magnifier for creating my miniature, Its a challenge.

The floating scuba diver and fish are excellent. I was wondering if you
varnish them after you cook them? If you do what finishing product
do you use. I was wondering if you used any future or varnish on
them because I have plants and fish in my pond and I would be really
upset if they died on me.
Thanks for showing pictures of your wonderful ideas!

Hi,
You don't have to varnish them or if you like you can used
DecorArt varnish.
Dura Clear Polyurethane Varnish
* An exterior/interior polyurethane varnish, that dries
quickly to form a hard, clear, scratch resistant finish.
* Waterproof, water and chemical resistant, protects
surfaces from alcohol and rings from wet glasses etc.
* Water based and non-toxic.
* Non-yellowing.
Thanks,

Garie
