Update for A3 and B3 workshops
First of all I wish to thank you for the very nice week I could spend in Tune thanks to your kindness and friendly collaboration.
Your final miniature compositions made me very happy because they show that what I teached has been quickly learned, from now on it will be only a question of exercise for everyone (me included) in getting new and better variations on the techniques we shared.
As promised I write here some informations we just talked about during the workshops:
Fimo codes and mix – A3 workshop
| Color | Fimo name | Fimo code |
| Dark chocolate | SOFT Chocolate | 75 |
| Milk chocolate | SOFT Caramel | 7 |
| White Chocolate | SOFT Vanilla | 105 |
| Wafer cookies | Mix made by me: 12 parts of Soft White (code 0) 3 parts of Soft Sahara (code 70) 1+1/2 parts of Professional Ochre (code 17) 1+1/4 parts of Soft Sunny Yellow (code 16) 1/64 part of Soft Chocolate (code 75) |
When I write ‘part’ I am referring to a round shape you can cut with a cutter, it doesn’t matter how big or small the circle used is until you use always the same one for all the colors so that proportions are preserved.
In this way you can get more or less quantity of a mixed color according to the size of the circle you use.
Fimo codes and mix – B3 workshop
| Color | Fimo name | Fimo code |
| Translucent | EFFECT Translucent white then drops of alchool inks colors added to get the proper color | 14 |
| Apples not to be sliced | Mix made by me: 10 parts of Soft White (code 0) 1 part of Soft Sunny Yellow (code 16) 1 part of Soft Lemon Yellow (code 10) | |
| Peras not to be sliced | Mix made by me: 10 parts of Soft White (code 0) 1 part of Soft Sunny Yellow (code 16) 1 part of Soft Lemon Yellow (code 10) | |

Here is the link to the FIMO True color mixing chart
Even if it is not difficult to read it I realize that the pdf version is not so easy to be handled as the printed one so please if you have any question feel free to ask me.
Last but not least the link to Formii Cutter, the shop where I purchased the tool to easily and quickly create thin rods and lot of small equal-sized little balls.
During the week some of you searched and found these tools also on some other shops.
If you are going to get it/them please before purchasing always ask if the plastic used is suited for polymer clay (not only for cold porcelain).
The tool name is “Micro Ball Roller”
Please feel free to contact me if you have any doubt or question about what we did in Tune:
