The Silk clay is very smooth and easy to work with, and it doesn�t get real hard when it has dried.

Meant to ask what stamp you used on the card with the clay vase. It kind of looks like netting and is really striking!

for rubber stamping etc!
Can you give us an idea of which type of clay shown here would be most similar to your "silk clay" compound? Thanks.
Self-hardening, pliable, soft and lightweight modelling compound, which retains its soft and rubber-like texture when dry
Can be painted with almost all kinds of paint - packed in practical can - store unused clay in an airtight plastic container
