A well done faux marble made with Fimo polymer clay looks just like the real deal. Especially with a good sanding and buffing. It makes great dollhouse mini details as well as pieces where marble would be convincing – insets for vanity items, some jewellery. This video tutorial is from Iris Mishly, a prolific clay artist who also makes a ton of great videos and instructional materials you can find on the site this video is at.
If you haven’t got a mixer you want to use with clay you can do like I once did and get a tiny (1 or 2 cup) food processor. Mine was $10, brand new and helped me chop up a bunch of very old Fimo, one cup at a time. It was slow but it worked.
If you’re using a softer clay, toss it in the freezer before you chop. It’ll stay in more distinct crumbs and pieces as you work.
Thank you so much Elaine! Glad you liked the project! <3 🙂
