I'm happy to test new products and after reviewing Pardo Jewellery Clay its certainly one I'll continue to play with. Beeswax makes this polymer clay easily used for fine detail and canework, essential when you work with miniatures. The clay is very strong and flexible when baked and the colors I tried are highly transparent, with a true translucent clay available.
As it is aimed at the polyclay jewellery makers, the color names match minerals and jewel tones, but if you get past the labels and down to basics, this is an easily worked clay that blends well with other clays and holds great detail. I appreciate the recycleable jar packaging, although it will take up more space in my workshop, there is far less danger of dust or dirt invading this soft clay.
Are you looking for info on polymer clays? The Basics of Polymer Clay compares commonly available brands and a wide range of miniature polymer clay projects are available on this site. There is also a review of Prosculpt Clay for dollmakers.
