Sculpey clay is the most fragile of the polymer clays. THe bulk white
original Sculpey is the most fragile of the Sculpey clays.

Would it still serve my purpose? The sculpture will be relatively flat and
as I said wall-mounted so it will not be touched or in heavy traffic. I
guess I'll have to bake a piece and judge for myself.


I tend to think of it as about the same strength as plaster; not suitable
for a lot of unsupported detail, though it shows detail well. Haven't used
it in years but the last things I used it for were well-supported bas
relief pieces. There's one on my site; Sand Witch, on the Bare Inspirations
page.
