Clay
Knead dough until smooth and pliable,
otherwise
it's hard to handle.
You can intermix
Fimo and Creall-therm. Fimo-Classic is not easy to use without Mixquick.
With Fimo-soft
it is easier to create your fantasies.
There are so many colours to chose from. But of course you can easily compose your favorit colour by blending two or three colours into one. I often use the colours white or yellow to compose pastel shades.

Tools
I use a glass
mat (15 x 12 inch) on which I put the clay. I put the workpieces on a tile
covered in alumium foil to prevent it from sticking to the tile. You can
put tile and workpiece together in the oven. For moulding you can use your
fingers, peeling-knifes or all sorts of modelling slices. See picture.
Aluminium foil
is used by me to create bigger bodied workpieces, using clay more efficiently,
and as support for i.e. arms and heads.

this is handy
for determinating the right colour when mixing clay.
Color index:
Fimo has a handy
index how much clay to use to obtain the right colour. You can find this
index on information hand-outs of Fimo.
