Hi there i have just looked at all the fantastic things you girls have made and was wondering how hard is fimo and similar products to work with??

Do you just mold what you want and pop it in the oven for so long and thats it?, also is it quite brakeable once set??

thanks so much just curious i have never seen it before
with thanks
Sarah.....

Fimo has a "soft" product that is extremely easy to work with (almost like playdough).
Don't be intimidated. I just started and was scared to use it at first. I am still getting used to using my fat fingers to sculpt. It is quite therapeutic.

I have found it to be pretty non-breakable but I am making things in miniature.

There are some very experienced fimo/sculpey users that should answer your questions better than I but since I am a newbie too, I thought I would give you some encouragement.

I used Fimo a lot many years ago, but I cannot handle the fumes that come when you bake the stuff. I wouldn't bake Fimo with my kids in the house.

It is a fun medium, just very, very synthetic. I prefer to use real clay for my miniatures.

fimo is fun, I havent made too much with it yet, but I am thoroughly enjoying it Check out the websites, if you look at the potato/cauldron post I made a day or so ago, there is a link to some books on amazon that have some easy to make veggies.

watch out, crafting is addicting...sigh...

I love FIMO...but I am still pretty new too it. It's pretty sturdy once it's baked. Although if you make something thin and small it can break easily if not handled with care.
