Back when I was a kid, Playdoe was the pillar of all kiddie toys. It was the an age where the 80’s was reaching it’s end and toy makers had to touch children’s “creative” sides before we all went “megabites” and “pixel count” on finger pressing colored arcade games.
Playdoe for me is what my mother calls, a “prize” when I finally memorized our national oath. I was never too keen with details so mom had to keep me interested one way or another. I’d be excited cause I can see her hiding something behind her back. Oh the joy of expecting that soft mold of color in my finger tips. I was very much hyped but was taken aback by the fact that mother had given me what looked like a white colored one. I guess it was on sale since the neons and primary colors were all the rage. I smiled non the less and opened the small plastic cup of what look like retailed soggy flour. But Playdoe is Playdoe, so I played with my flour and three days after, they were all gone. When you do a batch of cookies with them it is most likely to happen.
Years after, I studied Fine Arts and was in a sculpting class. We were required to mold a bust figure and make out our own David. Of course mine looked like something the cat dragged in, but that’s another story.
Then there was Polymer clay. I was excited for the fact that it required cooking to harden. But I’ve never gotten around it and just worked my ass off with my photography and design. Then I was introduced to Cool Kids.
As it turned out, I was just too busy to do my own mold but was very fascinated with the little clay creations I’ve been seeing online. It was enough for me to see them.
Year’s after, a friend of mine was asking for help to shoot some of her sister’s hand made jewelry and I was ecstatic to see that each were made in ( yes, it is so obvious in this turn-about ) Polymer clay!
