Vicky_CO Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I think I want to start playing with this. What are the must haves for a beginner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursenancy Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I wouldn't be without a big block of white and transluscent, and my roller (the one like a pasta machine.) that I got at joanns with a coupon. Those are my must haves and then just lots of colors. and glaze.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 Is this kit worth buying http://www.ebay.com/itm/281295562711?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT or should I just piece out what I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 (edited) I think I want to start playing with this. What are the must haves for a beginner?Everything you think you want/need/don't need/and all the stuff that looks really super cool. I know that wasn't helpful to you at all, but might as well get it so you have it when you want to use it or just look at it. (Not that I shop this way, no, no, no. ) Dang that kit ought to get you going in no time. Edited June 15, 2014 by Scented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not that I shop this way, no, no, no. ) Hey I am try not to shop that way this time. Was hoping to be smart this time around. You are not helping encouraging me to be bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scented Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Who? Me? Encourage anyone to be bad? Nah!See I would want it all and my bro would look at me and shake his head, say I didn't need all that crap (possibly swipe it) but I get bored quickly if it's basic and simple so see I would want it all right there just to aggravate me when I couldn't figure out how to use it or not making something right ... I shouldn't shop like that, but I know me and know that I'll wish I had it. That and I live over an hour away from stores that carry that stuff so I'm likely to splurge right away just so I wouldn't have to schedule a trip just to go buy it and whatever else I might think I might (not) need and better have. Now did that help you splurge? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted June 16, 2014 Author Share Posted June 16, 2014 Bad Julie bad bad bad I will most likely buy the kit unless someone tells me I am totally wasting my money. I am will to waste a little just not a bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursenancy Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 The kit is nice but I think it's a little pricey. If you have Michaels or Hobby Lobby near you, you can get the machine for about 15.00 with a coupon and then they frequently have 50% off sales on clay, etc. JMO. don't know if they carry the book, but there are a ton of tutorials on youtube and all over the net.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aboutthatscentfullife Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 My friend makes canes for nail art and she uses a pasta machine to press with? I don't know if that would help what you are doing....just adding to the conversation lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky_CO Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 I should have bought the kit it would have been cheaper LOL There was so many colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nursenancy Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 (edited) I should have bought the kit it would have been cheaper LOL There was so many colors. oh, boy, I know how that goes. But you did get more for your money, right? I hope! Any time I walk in joann's or Michaels it's a disaster. And forget about hobby Lobby..

Vicky_CO Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 It did not help that Joann's has polymer clay on sale right now for 50% that just made it worse because of course I had to get more because it was on sale. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbrook Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I don't have any of those stores within one hour from me so I ordered just one block of Premo online to play with to see how it works. I am interested in adding scent to it so I wanna try that out. It is probably a good thing i do not have any store close by cuz I probably would have went crazy too!

Vicky_CO Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Let me know how the experiment in adding scent goes. I will try it with the sculpey 3 I plan on picking up a block on fimo so maybe I will put a little FO in that also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeAnna_EC Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 My must haves... white, black, trans, brown, yellow, green, blue and orange I do a lot of color blending unless its a really particular color im needing. My tool must haves... pasta machine, small hand roller, exacto knife/ long blade and basic shape cutters, circles, square etc for texture I use whatever I can find or that looks interesting, I use netting from old bath scrubbies, believe me it makes great scales for fish or reptiles, tooth picks for small detailing, I'll use just about anything to get a different interesting texture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
