What's the best thing you've made out of polymer clay? (fimo/sculpey)?

Question

I'm just starting out with polmer clay so was wondering what's the thing you've made out of it that you're most proud of?

Answer 1

I don't know which is the "best" thing I've made (in the last 13 years) from polymer clay, but some of my favorites have probably been pendant containers, bowls, small covered bottles for cancer patients**, and maybe covered pens and a tic tac toe game (on an Altoid tin)***.
Just about everything is fun though.

(And no, polymer clay is definitely not just for making beads and jewelry --and little sculpts, etc.--it can do LOTS more things than those.... check out this page for a summary, as well as lessons and examples of them all on other pages at the site:

.......to browse the possibilities, just scroll *all the way* down... then when you find a page you'd like to investigate, click on the name of the page from inside the alphabetical navigation bar on the left side of the window)
