  • Resin Clay:


It's a wonderful material that offers both flexibility and durability, as well as being waterproof when it dries. It's also non-toxic and has a semi-translucent color, which is perfect for creating a variety of art projects. You can even blend different color clays, acrylics, or oil colors together to create your own unique color tone. This type of clay is great for making clay flowers, lampshades with translucent light, and miniature sweets food. Choose one of the best:

Grace - Modena soft - Modena - Hearly soft 


Colors: Acrylic paint Liquitex  Burnt Sienna - Burnt Umber

  • For whipped cream and chocolate:


Modena Paste is a liquid Modena, resin-based air dry modeling paste that can be used as the undercoat of canvas, texture material for works, or glue. It can also be suitable for making flowers, fake sweets, and accessories. It becomes slightly translucent and water resistant after drying.


 Modena Paste - Simulation cream


Tools: Color scale - Stainless Craft Rod - Press with Roller - Brush set




A real crepe is usually about 10 inches in diameter. Roll out the clay for:

  • 1:12 scale = 0,83 inch = 2,12 cm

  • 1:6 scale = 1,67 inch = 4,23 cm


Tips for Working with Air Dry Polymer Clay:


  • Keep it moist: To prevent air dry polymer clay from drying out prematurely, keep it wrapped in plastic or stored in an airtight container when not in use.

  • Use water: Dip your fingers or tools in water to smooth out rough edges and seams while working with air dry polymer clay.

  • Experiment with textures: Explore different textures and techniques by imprinting patterns, textures, or designs onto the surface of the clay before it dries.

  • Patience is key: Allow sufficient drying time for your creations to fully cure and harden before handling or painting them.
