I must admit, when I saw the words "zombie nurse" I thought of the nurses from Silent Hill. Scary stuff.
But anyway, dye it if you can, or just make due with a white one and "zombie-ify" it up with the shreding, blood, and whatnot.
Oooo I hate it when my clay gets too hard or too soft.
What I do with hardened clay is place it by my heater. It warms them up pretty well and them I can mould it. And when clay gets too soft, I chuck it in the refrigerator. I don't know about fimo, but I use sculpey.
Note that if you leave clay out unprotected, like in the sun, the clay kind of "cooks" itself. So make sure your clay is in a protected spot.
Oh yeah, and with pastels. I only buy white, tan, dark brown,and black clay. I make my own colors using oil pastels. If I wanted a pink lets say, Ill take some shavings off of the red pastel and mix it with my white clay until I get the perfect shade of rose pink!
Hope I helped!
I really need to start thinking about Christmas presents early because instead of buying things, I like to make gifts for people.
Mmm, well, Im thinking about making a ton of emotion themed cds for the music lover friend of mine. Of course, Im making each cd case and decorating it according to the genre.
For my best friends, Im working on a mini scrapbook of all our adventures together, pics and all!
For the really girlie friends of mine, Im planing on making them some little cute plushies, lip gloss with their favorite scent, lotions, perfume, aaand of course Im going to glam up the containers xD
Bracelets, necklaces, rings, all with charms that I like to make out of polymer clay. Care packages with play dough when they are bored, a small stuffed animal for comfort, a cd to relax to, and candy for the they want a snack...the list in my mind goes on and on.. Wow this was a long post!
OH! And there are tons of tutorials to do all these things online and on CO+K!
Oooo a growing designer by 10?
There is no doubt that Cecilia has the talent and drive, but I kind of was annoyed when she said "I have to have this..I can't live without it." It reminded me of my little hedonistic cousin, the one with the loud valley girl voice. BUT Cecilia is 10, and a little girl at that.
Hopefully in a few years her clothes will have only but improved!
