I’ve been working with my paper clay trying to make different flowers. I attempted to make a peony yesterday. Looked at it today, and I just didn’t like the look of it. So decided I would have some fun, highlight the petals with purple, and settle on having a fantasy flower in a pretty vase on my mantle. Will keep trying for that perfect peony….

Nope Sandra
Very durable. Not like gumpaste at all. I carried the rose I made my daughter on a plane and it went through airport security. Security guard shoved my purse and jacket into the container before it went through the scanner. Rose was in my purse. Although well wrapped in bubble wrap, if that had been gumpaste, it would have been a goner.
Check out this site. They sell it, and there's a couple of tutorials.

I went to pinterest and checked out the flowers made of paper clay and I was amazed.  Since it bounces, when dry is it as fragile as gum paste?  I usually manage to break everything at least once.

This is amazing, June.  I have not even heard of the stuff.  Bounces, ugh?!  I am going to have to try and find this and give it a try.  Thanks for sharing.

No Denise. It's not at all like polymer clay. I made keepsake croc sandals for my daughters bebe shower cake. It dries hard as a rock. So good for a modelling a topper. This clay, when dry, feels just like paper, and looks similar, but not quite the same, as silk flowers. Very flexible, it bounces when dropped!! Totally unique product. If flowers were made from polymer clay, they wouldn't have the flow or movement..it's dries to hard & ridged.

June is it the same as polymer clay? Wondering if that would be a better product choice for making figurines when a customer wants to save them as keepsakes.
