Ive started making neo pots, and came up with a wonderful idea about a dragon protecting the Neo mount!

Im very happy about how it ended up, now i just have to paint it!

That's amazing! I have been thinking of embedding gemstones in clay to make a pot. I have quite a few that I bought cheap at an auction.

The clay I have been using isn't firm enough. What brand do you use? I wonder if it's available here.

What brands do you have available?
Sculpey is entirely useless as it breaks and crumbles with ease.
Premo is not the firmest, but the most flexible out of all the pvc clays.
Cernit is the least flexible, but it also bakes the firmest.
Fimo is between Premo and Cernit. A little flexible and decently hard.
Fimo and Premo are opaque, all Cernit colours have a translucent base.
Kato clay bakes to a decent firmness and flexibility.
Pardo clay is very flexible and quite firm, but can tear. However the translucent Pardo can achieve glass like transparency when worked correctly.
