I've got plenty of clay, and some little things. I really want to start working with TLS and a good glaze. I'd like to make some little charms and stuff to maybe sell at a craft fair. I also make "magic" wands for the Halloween season for a costume shop here.
Do you have a good glaze/varnish suggestion?
As for glaze ... If you want a lot, cheap, what I have found that works well is (believe it or not) Varathane. I use the water-based variety. It's supposed to be used for wood, but it works fine on clay as well. And it comes in satin, semi-gloss, and gloss as well, so you can seal and protect your piece without making it too shiny.
Any good polymer clay site will probably have varnishes, too, specifically formulated for the clay. Of course it is a little more expensive than Varathane! For ultra-shiny details I use Fimo glaze (solvent-based); for large items that are going outdoors I also use Golden Polymer Varnish with UVLS (ultraviolet filters and light stabilizers). That can be found at any good art store.
Really, there are so many good varnishes there that I suggest you try a few and find what you like. Better to tell you what to avoid! Never use a glaze or varnish that comes out of a spray can -- it nearly always ends up a sticky, gummy, gooey mess.
That's about it. Post your stuff so I can see it, all right?
