craftgrrlI've never worked with sculpey...
How hard and durable is it? I was thinking of trying to make some crochet needles and/or knitting needles out of it, as I am having a hard time finding such that are friendly to my arthritic hands... I figured I could contour them to my grip, and they might be softer than the metal ones I currently have.
Do you think I'd need to reinforce it with a base? (maybe wooden skewers or something? and build it around that?) or could I just make the whole thing out of sculpey and fire it?
