err, if u use resin... i think you'll need a mould to pour the resin in first.

and for heating the acrylic, u'll need something that goes a lot hotter than a hair dryer. i used a strip heater. but you can use the conventional oven, not the microwave oven.

but i'm afraid my oven'll get spoilt, just bought recently to replace the one my dad exploded.

blah blah, my previous post was a useless one. at the art supplies store, acrylic 12 x 18 inches and 3 cm thick costs around $4 and a few cents. it should be okay... but if you need a bigger area of acrylic, they have tons more. then if you still are making the brotherhood sword, you can heat the ac...

Your armbands are fabulous. How did you create the carvings? since the armbands looked really fragile.

oh... that's.. Quite annoying. i should... Not use spray paint...
is it possible to watercolour sculpey and foam? for cardboard, it'd take an agonisingly long time before the colour sets in.
