I think you'll love reading about the testing that Garie Sims did on polymer clay.
I found it to be very informative and it may help you pick out the type
of clay you want to use on a project.

Compression Test: by Garie Sims

Which types of polymer clay are the strongest? Garie did tension, compression and flexibility tests on the different types of polymer clay and came out with some astonishing results.

A book of Masks: by Sarajane Helm

Last of all, I want to tell you about Sarajane Helm's Polymer Clay "Mask" Book that has just been published. There are so many wonderful pictures of masks all created with polymer clay. I was in awe of the creativity of the artists and I think Sarajane did a fantastic job putting together this awesome book.
