The Sahara and Pale Pink colors of this clay are a little misleading on the website. The Sahara is actually a grayish-sand color instead of the light sand color on display. It's also darker than the Pale Pink, which (true to the name "Pale Pink") is so light that it can be easily mistaken for white; it's not the peachy-pink the website shows.That being said, I still achieved what I wanted from the clays, and I'm very happy that Michaels has the option to buy in bigger bulk. Always better to shop in person so you can see colors and feel the clay for yourself, but the website is a great option if you don't have a Michaels near you.

This clay would be really nice for sculpting, but for some odd reason, it seems the clay I get from here (in stores) is old/expired. The clay is not able to be worked with. Sometimes it seems that a few moments of sitting out causes the clay to lose its freshness. I could only see clay hardening when it’s air dry, but because this should be baked to get hard, it should stay soft until baking. Several colors that I’ve used are either hard right away or become hard. The white clay is the only color I’ve used that seems to stay soft majority of the time, as if it’s replaced with fresh clay when needed. But the other colors seem to be expired and still in stores. It hurts my fingers and takes me way too long to knead or mix the clay. And when I roll snakes or balls or ... MoreThis clay would be really nice for sculpting, but for some odd reason, it seems the clay I get from here (in stores) is old/expired. The clay is not able to be worked with. Sometimes it seems that a few moments of sitting out causes the clay to lose its freshness. I could only see clay hardening when it’s air dry, but because this should be baked to get hard, it should stay soft until baking. Several colors that I’ve used are either hard right away or become hard. The white clay is the only color I’ve used that seems to stay soft majority of the time, as if it’s replaced with fresh clay when needed. But the other colors seem to be expired and still in stores. It hurts my fingers and takes me way too long to knead or mix the clay. And when I roll snakes or balls or flatten the clay, the clay is so hard that it has cracks in it and starts to crumble and has a weird texture. It’s eady to break clay before even baking it, and clay should be able to stretch for a while but when I stretch it to test how soft it is, it breaks fast. It’s annoying that when I add clay softener, the clay becomes too soft to handle. It begins to almost melt, like chocolate, and like, shed/transfer its color. Then it’s also to soft to hold shape. I use a tool to sculpt a detail, accidentally tap it, and that detail is ruined. The craziest part is that it’s soft and hard at the same time! How can they be both? The clay is too hard to smooth while being to soft to make detail. I’m not saying this to debunk Fimo or even Michaels, but to let them know that getting new clay might not be popular but it is important for customers. I’m upset because I can’t even use all of this clay that I spent money on. And the expiration dates are a bit hard to read. I just hope that this influences them to get fresh clay.
