Grand Galloping Gala Rarity
The toy I used is a 3" brushable Rarity: [link] This took me about a week to make. Her dress & accessories are made from polymer clay, acrylic paint and beads.

I take commissions Its $40 for a general pony (derpy, Octavia, an OC etc). At the moment Im not selling, and almost everything you see in my gallery is for my personal collection.
I want to do the same sort of modification to the "wave 4" blind bag Fluttershy that I have, so I've been looking for suggestions on what material & process to use. Does the polymer clay set and harden over time without heating? i.e. to a point where it could be painted on?
What I want to do is "fix" her mane and tail, since they were cheap and made Flutter just a 100% recolor of the Rainbow Dash mold. After molding her hair, I'd then want to paint it the proper color, similar to what I did with the AJ & Rarity figures at [link]
So any tips you could give me on where to find the clay you used, as well as any tips on molding it and whether it sets without heating, that'd be <3
polymer clay has to be baked in the oven at 130 (i think) degrees Celsius for 15 minutes for every 6millimetres thick it is.
when I use polymer clay on the 3 inch brushable ponies, i lower the temperature and cook them for longer, because the plastic becomes very soft. If i were you, i would do some googling about whether the blind bags are safe to be baked in the oven.
As I live in Australia, I get my Sculpey Polymer clay from Spotlight. Because you live in America, i wouldnt know where you could look. But polymer clay can be painted after it's baked.
You can buy air dry clay, but again, i wouldnt know where you could look. Try some art & craft stores. Even places like Target (im assuming America Target is like Australia Target) and places like that.
with moulding, things like chopsticks, exacto knives/stanley knives, toothpicks and other small objects are good for shaping clay. Also rolling pins and a big flat surface (like a tupperware lid) for flattening the clay out.
and yes to both questions Although i didnt follow the instructions on the sculpey packet for baking. I turned the over down to 100 degrees celcius, and baked her for twice as long.
Wow! I'm surprised! That's good to know. Usually a straight iron can ruin a pony's hair, and I wanted to try customizing some brushables. Great restyling on the hair, too!
