this is amazing!! I love your work. I'm so in love with it I just had to make an account to say how great it is. It's really awesome that you're generous enough to provide us with tips and a tutorial. I'm sooooo gonna try making one. Thanks so much! (Oh, I do have a quick question, do you do the rice in this one kinda like the tutorial, only with half pieces? )

I pile it on, then slice off parts with a thin blade. hope that helps. (:

AcidCandyDrops [2010-04-18 11:12:29 +0000 UTC]

By putting Varathane on it, would it mean that even after a few months, it wont start to get sticky, or lint or grime would get stuck to it and make it dirty looking? It'll still be nice and exactly the way it is the day you glazed it?

FimoFemale In reply to lava-tomato [2009-08-04 04:17:21 +0000 UTC]

oh ok thanks, that link really helps, how did you do the rice, did you cut it once it was cooked, when its still slightly soft

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

lava-tomato In reply to FimoFemale [2009-08-04 04:22:39 +0000 UTC]

I cut it before curing, when it was still completely soft. I'll do a tutorial sometime

FimoFemale In reply to lava-tomato [2009-08-04 04:25:29 +0000 UTC]

oh ok just that when i cut my stuff sometimes it warps it, or do you rest it overnight, ive heard of people doing that

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

lava-tomato In reply to FimoFemale [2009-08-04 04:27:17 +0000 UTC]

i'm impatient, so i let it warp and then just add some more rice in the holes left over. i use premo, so it's not too soft anyway.

FimoFemale In reply to lava-tomato [2009-08-04 04:34:12 +0000 UTC]

ive never used premo, so its harder than fimo or sculpey is it?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

lava-tomato In reply to FimoFemale [2009-08-04 04:44:05 +0000 UTC]

i've never used fimo. premo is firmer than super sculpey and sculpey III, though kato is harder than premo

FimoFemale In reply to lava-tomato [2009-08-04 04:49:05 +0000 UTC]

i will have to try them all, do you have anytips for preventing the clay from getting lint in it?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

lava-tomato In reply to FimoFemale [2009-08-04 18:34:31 +0000 UTC]

store unused clay in plastic wrap in a covered box. also, work on a clean surface and cover your work with plastic wrap or foil if you need to leave. hope that helps

harpoonerism [2009-07-18 20:19:47 +0000 UTC]

your sushi looks like it would taste better though

do you roll up the grains of rice and then cut the sushi, or do you just flatten them?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

lava-tomato In reply to harpoonerism [2009-07-19 02:23:55 +0000 UTC]

i roll them out, then stick them on and slice off the ends. i wish my rice was emo. so it'd cut itself 👍: 0 ⏩: 0
