hi katy,very good idea.i used to make small bits of the spoilt dough nd used a filling for my flower or fruit baskets,but this is too good.It looks so pretty nd has a natural look.Thaaaanx a lot.take care

I have always used the Eucapytus oil and find it suits me fine.
I never have a failure with my recipe.
I also love the smell of Eucalyptus as I work. As I haven't had a cold in years perhaps the big E helps to keep the bugs away too!!!
I guess trial is the best way to find the good the bad the indifferent.

I very recently cooked up a brew of paste with the water added and leaving out the Baby Oil.
Oh, oh, oh. Big mistake!!!!!!!!!
I finished up with a glob of ghastly sticky goo.
So that's defini…

I am learning to make cold porcelain flowers. I have a small floral barrette business and thought these would look lovely on the barrettes. I was looking at a web page that sold the flowers, and they were saying that theirs word soft yet durable. Is there any way to make them softer rather then hard? Ty

Hi Anila ,
if u prepared the cp then color it 1st with oil color.bt be careful use only lil.after drying it wl be darker.this wl give u the transparent effect to ur flowers.if u want the oppaque effect then used lil white poster color to ur cp 1st then add oil color whatever u want.u take lil quantity and experiment these tips 1st then go ahead for a big project.once u start experimenting u wl get the ideas what to do what nt to do.so best of luck.....and enjoy with ur cp...........

Monika Comment by Monika on March 28, 2010 at 4:59pm
Hi all. Well the world of cold porcelain seems to be my new craft home. I have used the recipe I found on youtube I think it is Sangheeta's. I love it, but I usually leave it out for a day or so to dry out a bit because if I don't it is much too sloppy and I cannot get anything to form (and retain a shape from it). I also find, because I make figures that there is shrinkage which can make my creations change shape. I would love any tips on dealing with this problem. I have purchased glycerine and wonder what properties this gives to cold porcelain. I am aware that I am asking a lot of questions and I hope that I don't appear to be too annoying. I love this craft and while I have only be playing around for a week or two I have had great success and I just want to get better. All advice and help will be most welcome. Thanks in advance. :)
