paper clay

Sorry haven't tried it. I would think the oven temp to bake the clay wouldn't be hot enough to melt the embossing powder. I have embossed on polymer clay after it's been baked with great success.

I don't know what temp your paper clay requires. Is it low & slow?

I have embossed using the broil setting on my oven. I don't own a heat gun so items that I want embossed, I place on a wood cutting board and place them on the center rack under the broiler & watch it very closely. It works just fine.

I would say it would work.

Anji, Now I see the heading is paper clay. Are you talking polymer clay or paper clay?

Yes, you can add embossing powder to Sculpey polymer clay. In fact, Susan Hyde has a technique published in which she uses embossing powder right in her Faux Fabric technique. I've used it many times in polymer clay as well. Of course, making faux fabric and in making leaf canes. I love the look. Depending on the amount of embossing powder you add results in different effects.

Anji, I forgot to tell you that I've used embossing powders both mixed into the clay and also as a 'topping'.

White embossing powder on top of a snowman looks like a snow dusting...very cool.

I've used the paper clay that air dried. It was really neat to work with and you can do about anything to it. Sandy

I am toying with the idea of using air dried clay (I have never tried to do anything with clay so far...) Do you think I could add glitter powder to it while working with it to make it sparkle?

Thank you, Klara

I've not tried that, but I know you can add chalk to change the color so I would assume you could add glitter too. I'll find the package and see what it says. I still have a little left from the last time I used some. Sandy

Wow... I've been getting great ideas from this group! Thanks for another one. I'm going to have to try that!

Have a great, safe week! Michelle P.
