I've been using sculpey for years. I bought this box about 8 years ago and I still have a little left. It works well for me because I like to paint and seal my finished pieces. The color of the clay doesn't matter to me because it gets dirty while I work, which is why I don't buy individual colors. Once you have it home, I recommend taking it out of the cardboard and putting the clay in a tin box or Rubbermaid container so that the oil isn't absorbed by the cardboard causing the clay to harden and crack. It will save you some clay softener in the long-run.
If you like to paint, acrylic works best and dries fast on the clay. It also turns out well when you want to make a faux porcelain piece. And if you can't form the clay the way you want before you bake it, it can be lightly sanded or shaved to get the shape, contour, or texture you desire. I have also baked and then re-baked to add pieces on to a "finished" form.
I've gotten about 5 6"-8" sculptures out of this box and could probably get 2 more out of what I have left. I've also made about 10 2"-4" pieces as well. This box is well worth it if you like to sculpt and don't have the time to do it everyday or even more than 2 times a week. It lasts forever and even though it's relatively fragile once finished it's still all the more delicate and appreciated.
