I’ve been using Kato Liquid Clay in the studio for a very long time and have to say it’s one of my favourite products. I use it as a sealer, as a glue, I use it to create decorative surface techniques, I mix things into it…the list goes on. It took me a long time…

Bohemian Inspired Polymer Clay Leaves and Earrings
