As quoted from musiee-erotisme.com...

"Mori started making dolls in 1998. Mori seeks to create dolls that generate both glamour and eroticism deep inside. When one sees such doll, his/her mind would ruffle with sensual and lyric feelings."

Cernit!

"Cernit is one of the strongest clays. 

(It was once considered the very strongest, but Kato Polyclay may now have out-performed it.) Though easily conditioned, it is also very flexible when cured.

There are many colors available-27 standard colors, 18 pearlescent colors, 6 neon colors, 6 "nature colors", and 7 colors specially formulated for dolls.

Cernit is a popular clay among ooak doll-makers because of its translucent quality and the porcelain-like finish it has after curing."

I received my first batch!  My experience so far has been great.  

Cernit does warm up quickly so I am experimenting with placing my sculptures in the freezer for about 2-5 minutes at a time.

The coldness hardens it again. I would not leave it in there too long as it seem to release percipitation if left to long in the freezer.

Even with it being cooled I try not to hold the Cernit too long.

Since I am still working on my BJD I have not had a chance to bake it yet.

COMPARISON TO SUPER SCULPY>

Super Sculpy seems to stay firmer a tad longer.

Cernit's color is more appealing. 

I will make more comparisons once I bake the Cernit.
