sculpting with " Sculpt-It" after all, I think I'm getting the hang of it!!! And the strength of the clay has sold me on it!!!The drying /curing time takes longer, you can't really do the sculpt as fast as you would with other air dry clays,
I let it dry for at least 3 days which is ok for me cause I can work on other things...
Here's DEMMY ( short for Demented hahaha!!?)

clay...
I love to try out new clay, so when I saw this at my Hobby Lobby, I quickly bought it and began to create.
It was so yummy looking, trancelucent and creamy, but it had a strange medicinal smell ... kinda odd..iodine, that's what it smelled like, no it REEKED of it!!!
But I thought ok I'll give it a try and it was a bit like what I think a polymer would behave like? Only I could add a little water and it smoothed easily, hmmm I think I like this...
Wrong it tugged a lot and when dry, every little imperfection showed up???!!!I couldn't even get my sandpaper to work on it!!!?? So I gave my Dremel a try, no luck there either???!!!!??
Wow this stuff is pretty indestructible!!! I'm not too happy about the shrinking either, because it liked to crack? So I added a bit of fresh clay to it and that seemed to do the trick.
Well I think I know what I'm going to try with this next time...
