where Polymer clay in Singapore?

Well hello guys. Long time no see, as you know if you've been following me on instagram I've been in Singapore. Yes it's an AWESOME place to spend your vacation at, I loved how energetic the place was you feel so lively and not alone so that's why I really enjoyed being in Singapore. enough talking let's get into the real thing, so today I'm gonna talk about where I bought my clay at Singapore and the other things you may need for clay or other crafts. Here in my country you really can't find that much of craft supplies  so therefore I looked where to go to get things I need.

So the first one I went to was Popular Bookstore. you can write the name of the store in google maps
and you're good to go. I went to the largest branch according to what the driver said it was like a large department and it's full of craft stores and art supplies.


It was a really nice store you can find craft books also and there were like tons of books, oh how  I love books. so I went to there stationery at the 5th floor I believe and I was like WOW. I FINALLY saw Fimo clay with my own bare eyes. they were selling a Fimo kids did anyone tried it out? this is my first time I've heard of it. So I looked up some more and found fimo liquid too, I heard that some places stopped selling liquid Fimo aka Fimo deco gel and I also found the clay machine, it was from Stadler the same company that produces Fimo. I almost found every thing I neede. definitely a great place to find your crafty needs. 

these are some of the colors they have 

So the next place am gonna talk about is ART FRIEND oh how I love this place. so, I went to the branch in the same department as popular's. And I just have to say: this place is AMAZING you will literally find anything and everything you need for you clay. Unfortunately they don't sell Fimo but, they sell sculpey III, Premo, Bakeshop and souffle, there is a very large range of colors  out there and of course I like it. You can find sculpey work surface for the clay , bracelets, necklaces and other things if you are making jewelry. I also found jumping rings and nylon threads also if you're hanging things or making jewelry you will need it. they also resin, molds and paper punch. they have copic and promarkers also I finally found the promarkers case it was so annoying carrying them around with a normal pencil case. So definitelygo to this awesome place if you need anything related to crafts or arts.

So that's pretty much it. 
thank you guys for reading my posts and I hope I helped you, and if you've got any question   please don't hesitate I'm happy to help. So stay good and happy craftin'. bye.

scared of buying polymer clay online? have no fear

Hey guys long time no see >3<. so I thought about writing a lil simple topic, So let's begin immediately..  here in my country I can't find any polymer clay not even the bad brands or the air dry clay, anyways I got mine from Malaysia glad I found it there but even when I finally found it I just found sculpey duh! to be honest there was premo but as beginner I was afraid that I may buy a little harder clay and don't know how to work with at the beginning I thought that polymer clay hobby is a little hard so that's why I was nervous with which one to buy. so I asked the girl working there and I got scared when she said to me that premo is "harder" than sculpey and of course I didn't know what she meant buy "harder" and I bought sculpey {wish I didn't}, However before months I got out of polyclay u know how white and translucent finish too quickly so I thought about buying some online but, my biggest fear was that even If I found my favorite brand (fimo) maybe it will be just hard as rock (old and so on) coz I have an old sculpey one and i just wanna toss it up╰_╯.. BUT I gathered my courage and searched for some sites that I can buy clay from and I found a site named clay shop  http://www.clayshop.eu and people have good reviews on it so I went to the site and saw, and WOW it's really well organized and every color u want of fimo is there, and it's cheaper than the other sites I saw, for example cheaper than joann. To be honest I was afraid of buying form them or any other site Like I said above, the clay may be old or somethin' but when It arrived I really was amazed by how the clay was so soft and supple, new n fresh. I really like them so every time I'm out of clay I'll buy from them. I highly recommend buying from them●▽● it was a nice experience
So thank u for reading my post and don't forget to visit me on instagram {@kumoxchan}

Happy craftin' #^_^#

polymer clay brand what is best for you?

Hey there so..today I'm gonna talk about what polymer clay u should use as any people ask this question I myself asked this question a lot when I once was a beginner, unfortunately I just bought the worst brand u could imagine ugh and yes it is
SCULPEY III and the thing I'm really angry about is that premo Clay was infront of my eyea and I went n said nah sculpey is more soft and such for beginners and I was completely WRONG.. anyway I will talk about my struggle with the sculpey III thing I started to work with it and I like it at first but then I found about the bitter truth when I went to make a bowl for ramen or noodles after I finished and baked my cute ramen with a very happy smile and I get it out of the oven I just touched the bowl and it cracked do u imagine this I really got shocked after I worked on it about 6 or 8 hours😭 and this is not the last time as it always crack now I got so upset.. anyhow I just don't recommend sculpey III to anyone I recommend fimo and premo to anyone as they become so hard and UNBREAKABLE After baking especially premo it's just so flexible after baking in thin sheets it won't break never ever. fimo may brake but not so fast after a lot of trying it MAY brak. One thing I would like to talk about is be carful when u buy ur clay u don't want it to be so hard when u press it down just press it to know if ur clay is freah or old if u press it and it's soft then ur good to go and if u press it and it turns to be so hard then DON'T buy it. so u definitely don't want to buy sculpey even If u r a beginner this will get u so frustrated when u see your work brake like this After u spent a lot of time on it . so good luck and choose ur clay carefully
Happy craftin' lovlies 😘
