Any suggestions on what I should use? I am good with clay, but what kind of clay do I use for jewelry to make beads, shapes, etc? Plz comment!

As far as clay, I would go with sculpy. You can get it in either small colored packs if you prefer, or larger flesh-color packs. I use the larger pack since I prefer to make painted charms myself.

With whichever you choose, you should remember always to use a wire base. I suggest getting some jewlery findings- you know, either the long pins with the loops in them, or even just dangle-earring findings, then you can shape them with jewelry pliers into the right shape.

With sculpy clay, it tells you to bake the clay to cure it. I tend to have a problem when I do this though, because I have things burn and discolor, and sometimes melt a bit and stick to whatever I'm baking on. Yuck. Instead I've started using a boiling method which I have no problem sharing. What I do is to boil a pot of water- you don't have to fill it, just have enough water to cover over the clay you are curing- and once the water is boiling, and drop in the clay using one of those big cooking spoons with the holes in it. Then I let them sit in the boiling water for a couple of minutes. It doesn't take long, especially if you are only doing small things. For me about a minute is good for itty bitty things, maybe up to five minutes for really big things. Don't worry if you leave it in for too long, though- I've accidentally let a pot boil down to nothing and no harm to the clay I was curing! Then you just scoop them back out onto a paper towel (using the spoon again! watch your hands!) to let them dry and cool. What's also nice about the above method is that if you have something you need to add clay onto, like a base shape that you don't want to ruin, you can boil it, cool it, add more clay, and then re-boil it with no harm to the clay. So I personally really like the method. :3

Hope that was helpful!

O_O wow! I'll try that! Thank you!

I have found sculpy to be the best as well...premo and fimo is a pain, too hard.

A few points of advice I can give -if the clay gets too soft, pop it in the fridge -eye make-up makes an excellent pigment! I use it to make the clay look like metal, best thing ever

I got sculpy! It is very good, thanks for telling me aout the softness! I was trying to figure that out. :)

awesome idea with the eyeshadow...maybe get some glass beads to mix mediums with the clay...or even charms...metal and such...
