This is my very first polymer clay piece. My daughter, Eleanor, had used Sculpey brand clay for several small projects and frankly it looked like fun so I decided to give it a try. The pie men are a bit over 4 inches. 4 to 6 inches is a good size for polymer projects. Everything was sculpted completely before the piece was baked. This is the hard way but I didn't know any better then and being a guy don't like to read directions. Sculpey can be baked multiple times making it easy to build up in layers and sections and much less likely you'll damge one part while working on another. This is the easy way. Inside there is a wire armature which holds things up while the clay is soft and extends into the base for stability. Slap on some craft paint and Ta-Da you've got something that looks almost like a .....wedding .....cake .....topper. Hey, there's an idea.
