Polymer Clay Lolly Lollipop!

Wuuah..... *Stretchaysss* After 2 months and a little more of torture, Semester 4 BPharm will be coming to an end... Soon. Still got 3 more weeks until our study break. In the meantime, I'll just happily drift along with the crowd. :P But then, there's still this Pharmaceutical Analysis portfolio to deal with. T-T Haih.... T-T

Yesterday, I tried making stuff with the polymer clay I bought off eBay. The clay is quite tough but surprisingly very pliable and kneadable. It holds its shape quite well, unlike the normal plasticine we play with. The texture is a bit like Play-Doh, only much more workable and easier to get the shape you want.

I wanted to make use of most of the colours - incorporate them all in one special charm. So what came to my mind was - a lollipop. :D Well, maybe it's because I've seen quite a lot of food/sweets related polymer clay charms on Etsy that inspired the idea.

The problem I had was with baking the clay. :( I only have a small toaster oven, and the temperature is uncontrollable. It's very VERY hot. D:

{My first try... Can't even make out the colours... The lollis have blue+green+white.}

The instruction on the package said '130ºC or 265ºF for 20 to 30 minutes'. I put only 5 minutes in the oven and already become lidat. T-T Aiyoyo...

So, for the next one, I put 2 minutes....

{The yellow colour turned brown... T-T}

Ah... Still tak berjaya. I actually quite like this one. But the side got burnt a bit, and the backside is really kena burnt mia.

For the final piece, I put 5 minutes BUT constantly opening the oven door at intervals while baking. This somewhat worked, and I got this :

{Sugar high lollylicious!}

Ah.... Finally... a piece that's not burnt. -__-" I like to call this a godzilla lollipop. Why? Because where got lollipop with colours lidat one? And somemore look so colourful like cartoon monsters. T-T

Nevertheless, I like it. :P I've attached a safety pin to the back (since I don't have any other jewelry findings at the moment) so that I can string it as a pendant. I'm putting it together with my first glass pendant - for me to wear. :D

{Polymer clay + Glass = LOVE!}
