Manipulation
Powders can be used on polymer clay for some really unusual and special effects. Brush the powder onto the uncured clay with your fingers or a paintbrush. Artist’s pastels, chalk, embossing powders and even makeup can be used.
The best paint to use on polymer clay is acrylic (water-based). Applying the paint in thin washes will work best. Enamel paints will never completely dry on the clay and should be avoided.
To attach two baked pieces of clay together, superglue works wonderfully. Two-part epoxy glue and the E6000 craft glue is great for attaching metal jewelry findings to baked polymer clay. White craft glue is useful for attaching doll’s hair and fabric to baked polymer clay. Liquid Diluent can be used for a raw clay to raw clay bond, or cured clay to raw clay bond. Many clay artist’s finish their work with varnish for a shiny or matte surface treatment. Alcohol or water based varnishes work best, as the enamel or oil based varnishes will never completely dry on baked polymer clay.
Metal leaf sheets or flakes can be pressed into the unbaked clay or applied after baking. The leaf will easily stick to unbaked clay but must be sealed after the piece is baked. Available in gold, copper, silver and variegated colors, the metal gives a rich effect to the finished piece.
I also saw that you can put crayon shavings in the centre of white clay and it colours it + makes it's like speckled.
And you can imprint lace into it for textures.

Tools
A smooth work surface is required when working with polymer clay. Glass or ceramic tile are perfect, but be careful with a wood surface, as the clay could stick to the surface or discolor the grain.
A craft knife is necessary for cutting clay from the block, and tissue slicing blades or razor blades are a big help in slicing millefiori canes.
Sculpting tools can include anything from tapestry needles, cocktail sticks, even dental tools! A smooth rolling pin or a dedicated pasta machine is useful for rolling out smooth sheets of clay.
Needle tools, such as darning needles and sewing needles can easily be used as sculpting tools and fine detail. Use some old scrap clay to make simple handles for your needle tools.
If anyone has a random tile or something I can have to do my cutting/shaping on that'd be nice since it's portable. I don't really have any marble surfaces or anything in my house and would have to otherwise do it on the kitchen counter or something which in my house is awkward.

Types of Clay
Polyform Products Co. is best known for Sculpey III, PREMO!, Super Sculpey, Granitex and Elasticlay.
Sculpey III – An excellent sculpting medium that comes in a variety of colors. Available in 2 ounce and 13 ounce packages it is great for creating jewelry, home décor items and sculpture. Softer than some of the other clays, it can be easily conditioned.
PREMO! – Probably the strongest of the Polyform clays, PREMO! Is perfect for creating home décor items. Available in 30 plus colors, it is sold in 2 ounce and 1 pound blocks. It does require more conditioning than the other clays.
Super Sculpey – Super Sculpey comes only in a translucent pink color and was created with the dollmaker in mind. Perfect for making finely detailed sculptures and prototypes, it is available in 1, 8 and 24 pound boxed packages.
Granitex – The distinguishing characteristic of Granitex is that it resembles granite or stone. The clay actually contains tiny fibers which give it the stone-like look. It is most often used in making home décor items.
Super Elasticlay – This clay retains a rubbery feel after curing which makes it popular with doll makers and animators. Another common use for it is mold making. Elasticlay can be mixed with other clays to make them more flexible.
FIMO Classic – Manufactured in Germany by Eberhard Faber, FIMO Classic is available in 2 ounce and 13 ounce packages. One of the most difficult clays to condition, clay artist’s often employ the use of a food processor to condition this clay. Liquid Diluent can also be added to FIMO Classic to make the clay more pliable and ready to use. FIMO Classic comes in a variety of colors and is most often used to make jewelry and home décor items.
FIMO Soft – In the same sizes and colors as FIMO Classic, FIMO Soft is easier to condition than the Classic version.
Kato Polyclay – Created by Donna Kato, nationally recognized polymer clay artist and Van Aken International, a leading manufacturer of modeling compounds, Kato Polyclay is one of the newest polymer clays on the market. Easy to condition and in a variety of colors, Kato Polyclay is known for its intuitive color mixing and increased strength.
Pro-Sculpt – Developed by master doll artist Jack Johnston, Pro-Sculpt has quickly become the art dollmaker’s clay of choice. It is available in 3 colors flesh, dark flesh and light (fairy or baby doll) color.
Sculpey III – An excellent sculpting medium that comes in a variety of colors. Available in 2 ounce and 13 ounce packages it is great for creating jewelry, home décor items and sculpture. Softer than some of the other clays, it can be easily conditioned.

Speaking of which,

Re: Resources!
Theoretically that makes sense. But at the same time I could totally see the government seizing chances like these to impose taxes. Especially with the economy and crap D:
Once again I guess it's something to ask Q.
