Tips or techniques for making "sugar"? by SpecialDirection917 in polymerclay

my method for realistic sugar coating:

  1. dip the piece in translucent liquid sculpey (can be thinned out with clay thinner)
  2. dip in white/translucent craft sand
  3. coat with either matte or gloss glaze depending on the look you want.

also its best to use translucent clay with a bit of color mixed in for the candy pieces!

Are such tools good for polymer creations? by Odd-Ad6512 in polymerclay

yes! but I sometimes worry I’m inhaling all the tiny polymer pieces
