Some items may only be available online. In addition to any specific links I’ve given blow, here are some other sources I use: https://polymerclaysuperstore.com https://www.madmicas.com/ (LOVE these guys’ mica powders!) https://www.sculpey.com/ Useful Items for working with Polymer Clay: • Ceramic Tile: I recommend going to your local Lowes, Home Depot, or such, where you can just pick up one or two tiles in whatever size you want. When ordering tile online, you usually have to order tile in a multi pack, like this one: https://amzn.to/3NnoYaH which is great if you’re going to have a use for that many tiles. If not, just check out your local hardware store. • Polymer Clay Blades: https://amzn.to/4dHtr2H or https://www.sculpey.com/products/61-sculpey-super-slicer-set-w-comfort-handles?_pos=1&_sid=00dbe4e77&_ss=r&_fid=acb401ef1 • Silicone Mat: https://amzn.to/3Nlm5XM • Round Cutters: https://amzn.to/3BJ6I9i or https://www.sculpey.com/collections/products-tools/products/42-premo-graduated-cutter-set-circle • Polymer Clay • Sculpey Premo White: https://amzn.to/4h08WRI or https://www.sculpey.com/products/20-premo-sculpey • Sculpey Premo Black: https://amzn.to/4ewK4zn or https://www.sculpey.com/products/20-premo-sculpey?variant=44199350305018 • A small scrap of your choice • Mica Powders.
