Thread: Glow in the dark.........

I saw this glow in the dark Sculpey at Michaels the other day, and was curious if anyone has tried it out ? I thought it was kinda cool !

I seem to recall someone posting about making teeth for a prop and did them in GID clay. Seem to recall them turning out well. If I can find the post, I'll link to it or maybe the original poster will see this and comment.


Found it! Devils Chariot, a member here, posted a workshop on Making Glow in the Dark Teeth. It's on his blog and is a great tutorial. He included a video and he has plenty of examples of some gruesome creatures with some fabulous teeth. Makes you want to SMILE.

I tend to just use Fimo brand polymer clay, and the "Nightglow Fimo Effect" clay is a favorite of mine. It's VERY bright, giving off enough light when charged to cast a nice glow on objects close by. Just to give you an idea as to the intensity of the glow, here's a photo of a tiki pendant I made out of the stuff (note: this photo wasn't enhanced, it really is that bright when fully charged):


The Sculpey clays certainly have the nice benefit of coming in multiple colors in that pack (though I've made my own colored glow Fimo by mixing in just a little bit of regular clay, but that only seems to alter the clay's color in regular light). I'm curious if they also glow in noticeably different colors; that would certainly make the Sculpey clays worth a try.

zombie, that's a cool tiki. and bob, looks like the gitd clay works good
