【zt】⼀篇不错的英⽂软陶教程（中英对照）
1. Choice of Polymer Clay Brands: 软陶品牌的选择
My favourite most versatile clay is Fimo Classic which can be ud for millefiori, bead-making, sculpting, pins & brooches. Very durable, flexible, great colour palette and easy to mix to produce an unlimited range of colours. The new formulation is much softer than the old one, and is fairly quick to condition. Canes made with Fimo Classic last a long time (I have canes which are still usable from 3 years ago!).一枪不开丢三省
一年级下册语文教学计划我最喜欢的软陶泥品牌是德国的 FIMO 经典系列。它可以⽤来做珠⼦，雕塑，头饰跟胸针。⽤这种软陶泥⾮常耐⽤，造型容易，拥有很亮丽的⾊彩，通过不同颜⾊的⾃由混合可以创造出⽆限的⾊彩来。Fimo 经典系列的新款⽐旧款更家柔软，成型更加迅速。这个牌⼦的软陶泥保质期很长。（三年前的这种软陶泥，我现在还能⽤）
Fimo Soft is a softer version of the Classic and is quicker to condition, and can also be ud for all of the above purpos. Comes in a wide range of colours with a range of Fluorescent, Transparent & Metallic Colours. I have found that canes made with Soft do not however last as long as tho made with Classic. You can mix the clays together quite successfully. Fimo Soft是⽐Fimo经典系列更加柔软的
⼀种，⽽且也更容易成型的软陶泥，能够⽤于以上所有的⽤途，他还有⼀系列各种⾊系的夜光型软陶泥，透明型软陶泥，⾦属⾊软陶泥。但是这种软陶泥不象经典系列那样可以存放很久。它们混合起来⾮常⽅便快捷。
Premo Polymer Clay is an American brand of clay which also is great for mixing colours, for millefiori, sculpting, and is extra strong and durable. Very easy to condition. Great for brooch backs where strength is required. Comes in a great range of artists colours and metallic shades which produce amazing 'mica effects'. Plea note however that the metallic colours do not cane like regular colours becau of this mica shift property.
面对困难
Premo是美国的⼀个软陶泥品牌，混⾊⽅便，成型容易，可以⽤来做彩珠，雕塑等，这个牌⼦的软陶泥更具韧性，也更加持久。特别适合⽤来做胸花，胸针这类需要较强硬度的饰品。Premo有丰富的艺术⾊彩系列可供选择，和特有的⾦属⾊，这些⾦属⾊跟普通的混合后能产⽣漂亮的“云母⽯效果”。请注意，这种⾦属⾊彩的效果跟普通的软陶条呈现的⾊彩效果有⼀定差别，主要是因为⾥⾯云母改变的特殊特性。
Mica Effects: (A short explanation) The shiny property of metallic clays are flat pieces of mica. When you roll the clay through the pasta machine a few times the mica particles all line up the same directi
on so that the flat surface will be very shiny. However if you cut the sheet you will notice that the cross-ction will be a much duller dark colour of gold (not shiny). This property can be ud for great effects - canes can be made using the dark and shiny properties to make patterns which can be then sliced into beads or ud as veneers etc. For more information on Mica Shift check out Mike Buessler's work and other information available on-line and in books (or do one of my workshops!)
云母效果：（⼀个⼩解释）⾦属⾊软陶泥带有⼩⼩闪亮的特性是由于⾥⾯含有⼀层层的云母。当你把软陶泥放进擀泥机，擀数次后，云母颗粒就会按照⼀样的顺序跟⽅向排列，这样，很平的软陶泥表⾯就会呈现有闪亮的颗粒效果。不过，如果你切开这样的软陶泥长⽚，就会发现切⾯部分的⾦属⾊会很深，⽽且没有了闪光的效果。这种特性可以做出很好的效果—利⽤这种深⾊跟闪亮的特性制成的软陶泥条，可以制成特有的图案，切这样的软陶泥条可以得到含有这种图案的软陶泥薄⽚，这些薄⽚能够被⽤来做珠⼦的表⾯装饰贴材或者其它装饰贴材。更多的关于云母⽚的内容请参看Mike Buessler's work 和其它⽹上或相关书籍提供的信息，或者到我的⼯作室来做⼀个试试。如何调理脾胃
高原红简谱沁人心脾什么意思Sculpey III is the softest brand of Polymer Clay and can be ud almost out of the packet and comes in a great range of colours which can be mixed with other brands. When baked Sculpey has a more matte finish but can be polished to a high shine if required. Can be ud for Millefiori, but not so good if extra crisp design lines are required.
大米饼的做法>真是了不起Sculpey III是软陶泥家族中材料性质最软的⼀种，开包即可直接使⽤，不需要搓揉变软。它也有很⼴的⾊系颜⾊可供选择，⽽且能够与其它牌⼦的软陶泥混合。烘烤后的成品呈现亚光的效果，但如果需要，它也可以被抛光⽽获得很光亮的效果。它能被⽤来做珠⼦，但是如果要求更硬脆的效果，它并不是太适合。
Liquid Polymer Clays: Both Fimo (Fimo Gel) & Sculpey (Translucent Liquid Sculpey) make Liquid Polymer Clay which has a huge variety of us: Image Transfer, Adhesive (great for adhering baked clay to baked or unbaked clay - then baked again), Coloured as a filler for polymer mosaics or for 3-D effects, a surface covering to protect transfers or fragile images -can be polished to a high shine after baking also.
液态软陶：Fimo (Fimo 凝胶) 和 Sculpey(半透明的液态 Sculpey) 这两种软陶液有很⼴泛的⽤途：图像转映。粘性的，（⾮常适合将烘烤过的软陶跟其他烘烤过的或是尚未烘烤过的软陶粘和）彩⾊的凝胶可作为软陶马赛克的填充材料⽽得到三维的效果，或是刷在成品表⾯⽤来保护转映上去的图案，或者⽤来保护易碎的图像块。在烘烤完后，也能可以抛光从⽽获得光亮的表⾯效果。
