The carol duvall show has a lot of clay projects including small tins like you are talking about. You can find links to her show on both sites.

well a good place to start would be to use a good quality material. i've used many and the one i like best is called FIMO.
now, i'm not sure where you might buy it locally, but being that it has been around for a while, i would bet that it is at your local craft store.
you might try clicking here-------> www.fimo.com
hope this helps,
joey

http://www.theartfulcrafter.com/tips-three.html gives you tips on how to get started with polymer clay jewelry.
I make Africian style beads and imitation jade and coral beads for jewelry making.
I also use corn starch - cold porcelain - to make other pieces - http://www.theartfulcrafter.com/craft-ideas-nine.html
http://www.madaboutmolds.com sells clay push molds for cameos and other jewelry pieces.

Michales and A.C.Moores have several inexpensive books that are geared towards a beginner. They will have all the information you will need.
