Hello everyone! This is Keichewer, and my first post on this forum!
I would like to say hello to everyone, and ask for some friendly advice for an idea I have, see, I perform magic.
I would like to create a stacked deck of cards (2.5" x 3.5" x 1.6"), that replicates the look and feel of a solid smooth piece of stone. I have had a few ideas... but in reality, I have no idea what method I should go with.
Idea #1 Get two colors of sculpey, lightly mix them, and then shape it, and bake it
What I don't like about this idea is that while it *may* give the look of marble, it probably wont feel like it (as you can guess I want people to be able to feel it)
and
Idea #2 Make some kind of oil-based clay positive, make a negative out of silicone, and do a resin cast.
I know this idea is very possible, but I have no idea where to get supplies, and why I should one item over another.
With both ideas. I worry about getting a perfectly smooth finish on the initial form.
Any help or further advice and knowledge would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Keichewer.
