Recipe 02 - Sculpey-Making

Sculpey (pronounced 'Scul-pee' for the short-tongued) is a plasticin-like material used to mold things. In layman's terms: Before baked: plasticin, after baked: plastic. Ok enough talk, let's get down to business.

What you need:

• Sculpey (Homer: d'oh!)
• Fingers (preferably tiny)
• Toothpicks, woodcarving tools (if you do not have the afore-mentioned tiny fingers)
• Wire (if you intend for your figure to stand)
• A plan of what figure to make

Now on to a session of endless giggling...


Sculpey. Not to be eaten, although it looks and smells kinda yummy.


First we'll start by making a ball. Warming the sculpey will make it more pliable and easier to work with. Note: With your fingers!


Ok, now add on other parts as necessary. As seen in the above, Inniz has used a tweezer to facilitate the adding-on. This is to reduce the fingerprints on your figurine, if you want. What? No, it doesn't remind me of anything. You sure do ask a lot of questions.


Another adding-on picture..man this is like a test for the perverted.


Make it anatomically correct if you wish HAHAHHHAHAHA!

After you're done with the modelling, you can wrap it with foil and bake it. Usually it's about 30 minutes to an hour at 130 degrees celcius, depending of the thickness of the figurine.

But we've made the baked version beforehand, so here it is freshly baked...

*drumroll*

Ta-DA!!
