Fimo is a name for a brand of polymer clay made by Eberhard Faber.Fimo can be sculpted in ways similar to other modeling materials such as ceramic, modelling clay, and play-dough.
Because Fimo is packaged in colored blocks, the colors can be mixed while soft, then baked. By mixing two or more colors, then twisting, folding, bending, and cutting, various marbled surfaces can be achieved.
If multiple colors are mixed thoroughly enough, the marble effect will fade and the colors will blend to make a new color.
Fimo can be painted. Acrylic paints are best as oil based may not dry completely.
Safety Concerns
FIMO is conform to the European Standard EN 71 part 5 and bears the ACMI-Seal AP "non toxic".
