websites ect for buying bone?

[tlclark]

Anybody every use polymer clay as an ivory substitute?

I've posted links to instructions on how to do it before (faux ivory). I've got the Fymo ready and waiting, it's just a matter of finding the time. You need white, beige, and transparent. Roll ultra-thin flat sheets of each sandwiching layers together, each layer being the different types in a repeating order. I think it can be rolled together as well.

Anyway, cut the basic shape, bung it in the oven. Afterwards, you can sand it, drill it, polish it, patinate it. Looks like wonderful stuff, and no need to kill or dig up any mammals.

You can also mimic bone, IIRC by leaving out the transparent layer... I think. Plenty of tutorials on the web.

Thanks!

How's it hold up?

Sculpey III is really kind of soft. Fimo is very hard. is there any difference?

Anybody know?

I would really love to do an ornate polymer clay one.
