I've tried everything this past year and I've realised that with the exception of the first ever block of Fimo Soft I bought back in 2013, I've had nothing but problems with this clay. Crumbly and cracking even mix quick could not rescue it. Meanwhile, a doll I made with some super sculpey I bought just came about without much effort on my part. I'm sick of fighting with clay that doesn't want to work, so I'm testing out super sculpey, though it's a bit dark for my dolls so I'm mixing it with the last of my white Fimo.
So I've noticed this year that not only have a lot of doll artists removed their websites/blogs, but those who still have them have removed their free tutorials. While I understand they have to make money, the free tutorials are very basic and those just starting out are more likely to buy a book or dvd from the artist if they have given a little free assistance to start. I was lucky to start when I did, because the tutorials referenced on websites had already begun to disappear so I made a point of saving what I could for future reference, but it's disheartening for future beginners that the help I got in the beginning has been whipped away.
Anyway enough ranting here is my latest doll
