craftgrrl | To Polymer Clay Crafters

Oh my...I am so livid. I just ran out of my supply of Original Sculpey and had to buy more. Well, the new Original Sculpey claimed to be 'New and Improved'. It is NOT. It is like working with bubblegum that has already been chewed for 3 hours. Sticks to everything and is impossible to get fingerprints out of! I am making small jewelry pendants and need the clay to be moderately firm. Can anyone help by suggesting a better brand of polymer clay around the same price? Thank you guys so much for your help!
