Well, there's been a lot of buzz about the new Studio by Sculpey clay. I have to say that I don't usually like soft clays, but this one bakes to a really nice finish, which I find different from any thing else on the market. I'm working on several ideas to submit to magazines using it- I'll let you know when those are available.
Right now I have a picture of one of their introductory projects, designed by Donna Dewberry. The frame is wood, painted with 3 colors, then accented with Studio Sculpey leaves and antiqued. I've never antiqued before, and I'm not sure this is a sterling example, but maybe my students won't feel like this is something they just can't do.
