Hi, my name is Birdy Heywood and I have been working with Polymer Clay for over 30 years.
About 16 years ago I combined the clay with Fabric Hardener to enable me to create much larger figures. Polymer Clay needs to be hardened in an ordinary oven so one is restricted sizewise.
The answer to the size problem was to create heads, hands and feet out of polymer clay and the body out of an armature, cloth and Powertex Fabric Hardener.
