Supplies: Polymer Clay (any brand you prefer. I like to use Sculpey). *In total, approximately 1/2 of a 2oz. brick is plenty per dragon!* (a tiny bit goes a LONG way with miniatures!!) Basic Sculpting tools, toothpick, smoothing tool A Baking sheet (covered with parchment) Cutting tool or clay knife A non stick surface to work on (You can cover a piece of cardboard with parchment paper and tape it to the bottom…that works) A small rolling pin Variety of colors of polymer clay (whatever colors you want for your dragons) Metal sculpting/jewelry wire or wooden toothpicks (to attach the head to body) Note: I like to use Translucent polymer clay for wings and fins so they have a clear appearance, but that is optional. Small GLASS beads or Crystals for eyes (for 3 of the dragons). I use 6.0 size seed beads. You may use clay if you cannot access these. NO PLASTIC. We can only bake Glass, Wood, Metal and natural stone/crystal. OPTIONAL: A glass marble, crystal, bead or stone (for weeks 2 and 3) Aluminum Foil (for propping) OPTIONAL: Clear Water-Based Gloss Polyurethane, Mod Podge or Sculpey Gloss Glaze for after baking **Polymer clay requires baking according to the package direction.
