fimo help

orrrrrrrrrrr i might steal my nans oven, cause its 'leccy, and itll do 110 with no probs. =D

 

Yay ^^ Probably safer, don't want those fumes about if you over cook it xD

 

You foolish plumbers and your archaic gas ovens, you need a proper electricians oven with nice calibrations and incandescent metal, for that is the true way of heating polymer clay.

 

shup you.
come and eat the flapjacks, theyre the worst ones ive ever made

 

You never told me you made them, just taunted me with the promise of flapjacks.

 

Is there some place I can get a good tutorial on making these kind of beads? I tried but I could not get the right shape or hole :/

 

NOM flapjacks <3

Its real easy to make them gretaoto. The way I do it is I get a pea sized ball of fimo. With a pin (I have a nice clay tool I use but a pin will do fine) or needle I push it through the middle of the ball of fimo and roll the ball along a flat surface to create a hole. I usually get 5mm hole from a pea sized ball It takes a little time to get the movement right but once you start to get it you'll fly ^^

 

aye, thats what i intend to do with a few.. others im ganna squidge a pen or something through, and maybe use a pin to put some marks on it... ganna have a play today and mess around and see what happens ^-^

 

i have tons of fimo. love it! i worry about the fumes also. cooking something in the oven after the fimo kinds freaks me out. im a nut i know. i went out and got a small toaster oven from the thrift store and use it. it works. just a idea. can't wait to see them when you are done.

 

I never thought about make beads or plugs from fimo, but it's sounds great.

I used to make Pokèmons out of Fimo clay so I think I miht still have some somewhere... do you guys know if there's an experation date on that stuff... Imust have had it for more then 7 years now.

 

Hehe get keerraaazzyy with it

 

All made with sculpey

 

i made quite a few beads, YAAY. actually went the shop to get more fimo haha (diff colours) i had funn. ill post pics up tomorrow =]

 

Eeee tanna I love them xD The shell is such an awesome idea!!

I wanna get some of the marble stuff... I only have a few plain colours, crap for mixing lol

 

yeah ive been using the glittery fimo, its gooood =D


quite pissed that i bought a green, as well as blue and yellow.. forgetting that blue & yellow make green...

 

haha smelly... i have just the earth colors... but I want to get some of the bright stuff too!
Don't be pissed sometime its so much easier to just buy the color you want... it takes forever to get it to mix completely. I have so much vision for more earrings to make... but i never get around to wearing them... so then I just don't do anything... but maybe i'll make some beads...and them ship them to whomever sends me the address first...

 

id love some, but i dont got my ears pierced..

i made a cute lil ladybug dreadbead last night ^-^

 

Aww thats so cute xD

When I mix my colours they just go a murky kinda colour Really sucks ><

 

My first attempt.. just a few plain beads……. Decided I liked them, and I have therefore kept them =D



The batch I made after the initial batch.. got more adventurous (kinda)



All the beads ive made so far (plus 2 animals haha)

 

Closie..



Bugs.. ^-^ (theyre all a bit shit really.. im not happy with any of them)



The animals (the cat is for my mom, and the bee is for my chummy)



Theyre for sale… or they will be when I maybe set up an etsy store (someone help me).. and if youre really nice ill do some custom ones..

The colours I have are yellow, blue, green, red, white & black… which can then be combined to make all sorts of lovliness. Gimme what size hole youll need, and ill set about making them =]
