My First Experience with a Silicone Clay Mould
I’ve had a few of these on my wish list for quite some time, so I’m stoked to have received a silicone mould (mold in the US) as a part of my birthday haul. On that note, my husband had the really awesome idea to bring me to Michaels and let me pick out all…
