Hi everyone! I’m running into an issue when sculpting over an aluminum foil core. Whenever I lay the clay over the aluminum base, it ends up shrinking and warping/cracking like this: [Attach your photo here].

Is this happening because:

It isn't drying/curing properly?

The layer of clay over the foil is too thin or too thick?

Polymer clay / air-dry clay shouldn't be wrapped tightly over a solid aluminum base?

I'd love to know what might be causing this and how to fix or prevent it. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated

And I’d have to say that these are some of my most favorite creations to date.

Mixed red liquid clay with a lil black then applied it with a wire texture brush. Want to look a lil more…used? 🤣

I burnt the first batch so I improved on it 🤣

This one is pretty little compared to my recent few heads, which made it a little more challenging

I like it 👍 what do you think ? I can’t tell if it’s an improvement from the pink one that showed progress or not …the eyes could be better they bother me a bit, but I dye the lips a different way than usual and I like how they turned out

i always try a new design at least twice and this time I’m especially happy with how it turned out! last photo is the first attempt… which he was so goofy looking that it made me laugh
