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.

WELCOME!
 Thank you for visiting my blog"Jointed"

 I am revamping my blog completely for the New Year.
I want to FOCUS not only on resin ball-jointed-dolls but also on Japanese porcelain ball-jointed dolls, One-of-A-Kind (OOAK) fairies,ooak art dolls,automata,steampunk and the sculpture culture.

 I currently work with polymer clays. I am about to dive into porcelain!

 This blog will also display my progress in on my own OOAK sculptures.
It will also display and discuss my personal collection of OOAK ART.

I really want to promote my fellow OOAK/NON-OOAK artisans.

SO IF YOU WANT TO ADVERTISE ON MY BLOG LET ME KNOW!
