That's really clever. Did the white clay you used for the mold stay flexible when it dried?

No, it's not flexible after it's dried. The flexible modelling clay make not so good molds and results, because when you push the polymer clay in the mold it's not so dimensionally stable (hope, that's the right word?).

This is a little off topic, but I have the exact same charm.I inherited it from my greatgrandmother and never really knew where it was from or how old it was.What a coincidence, I was googling polymer clay and this popped up!lol
Anyway where'd you get your charm? If you don't mind my asking:)
Handy tutorial too!I'm sure I'll pit it to use!
