I just remembered that while looking for clay flower supplies online, awhile ago (a favorite pastime!), that I came across a site in Australia that sells a clay that is like the Luna Clay/Thai Clay. Their site is www.pattyclayflowers.com. From the description of the Pattyclay they provide it seems it is just like Luna/Thai clay and remains flexible when dry. Thery also have cutters and veiners etc for sale. Just thought I'd pass the info on to you if you would like to give the clay a try. If you do, let me know how it is and how it works for you.
Thanks,
Ron

- Hi Joyce,
Thank you for your compliments on the flowers. Sorry to hear about the Luna clay being unavailable and cost prohibitive (to ship) in Australia...it is my favorite for flower making. As far as a comparison with cold porcelain - in the soft state it is very similar to the commercially made cold porcelain I have tried. However, when it dries it remains flexible which is what I like. If you roll out a thin sheet in the pasta machine, when it dries the sheet is almost like a piece of vinyl. The cold porcelain, when dry, is stiff and hard which I suppose is fine for some things. I've also experienced some cracking with the porcelain. The Luna clay flowers are not quite as fragile and after assembly you can still reshape or position the petals/leaves etc. The Makins' Clay I have yet to try although I have read that it's formulation was based on the Luna/Thai type clays. I suppose I should try a bit and maybe I can make a comparison for you. Some artists mix Thai clay with the Luna clay but I find that this also leaves the clay less flexible and a bit harder when dry. Also, seems each batch I purchase (Luna) works a bit differently...sometimes it's a bit softer (this is good for coating wires to support leaves/petals and making stems) and other times a bit firmer...age may have something to do with that. If too soft I leave it out in the air for awhile and then knead to a good working consistency. I hope this info helps. Any other questions, please feel free to contact me. Happy flower making!
Regards,
Ron
