Material Test 2: Eberhard Faber -- FIMO soft

before baked

after baked
FIMO is a oven-hardening modelling clay. Once shaped, it is baked in a oven about 30 minutes at 110°C (but on its package, the temperature is indicated as 130°C) to harden it. Maybe I baked this flower too long time, some spots (like air bubble) appear on its surface.

Besides, FIMO can be painted. And it can be formed into beads, with the holes poked before baking or drilled in afterwards. I guess it can be the good material to make the puppet's eyes and several properties.
