This is my first time on this site so bare with me. I purchased a block of PaperClay (an air dry clay) after seeing a segment on making a necklace out of it on DIY but I cannot find any other information on it, no project sheets, no books, nothing even on their site. Has anyone ever used it or have any information on it? Please e-mail with any info you have. Thanks for your help.

I have only recently gotten serious about Paperclay! I love scupting with it. I have make tiles using stamps and then painting. I find it easy to use...just remember to keep it moist and in a plastic bag after opening it. I take a small amount out and put that bit in a small ziploc sandwich bag. If it dries out you can get it back by adding water. Keep a small spritzer bottle nearbye to help keep it moist. Also, when the clay dries it sometimes cracks but all you have to do is add more moist clay to crack and let it dry. I also use watercolor shapers to maniputlate the clay. I use nail files to smooth it out after it dries and before I paint on it. I have been using it happily on making dolls. I will try to upload a pic of recent doll. Well not successful on the upload as DIY can't seem to hold the amount of whaterver "pixels"?
