you can buy fimo at your local craft shop, some places don't sell fimo they sell Sculpey, there's also another brand called Premo(I think). In Australia they sell sculpey and fimo, I've only used sculpey which I bought in the little kids section on the craft shop coz they think only little kids want to use clay! So check in that section. I heard on the internet that Premo is the best as it strong once baked and flexible when moulding it.

If you're wondering about starting a business selling it, first you're going to need to practise with the clay. I reccomend (if you haven't already heard of it) starting up an etsy shop as the people your products will be aimed at will most likely look to this site and apparently it's quite easy to set up a shop. here's the address: www.etsy.com
