Not sure who has heard of polymer clay and those that sculpt with it, but found this website and it is very interesting to go through. I have found it very useful tutorial wise for gumpaste creations, just by following there polmer tutorials. Have a look, you might find some of their little characters very charming. Have fun

Sooooo, this is how I get myself in trouble -- I just spent the last 30 minutes browsing the website! What a great resource. Thanks, Fairmaiden0101!

I'm new to fondant work and have been searching good tutorial sites/books. Thanks for the link, I'll be spending quite a bit of time this weekend checking it out!!
