Keep fimo clay with you and use it as a template when you find a design you like, just press it to the design and pull off take home and bake it. Now you have a template to use with more fimo clay for making some really unique items, jewelry etc. Great to take to antique stores and you find a unique design, press and take that image home with you to use later on.

Yikes! I have to agree with Jan on this. As someone who actually runs an antique business I am pretty sure I would skin someone alive if I caught them doing this to most of my stuff.
I'd always ask first. Who knows - depending on the piece it may be harmless. But jewelry could be damaged this way. Real stones by subjecting them to the chemicals & fake stones that are usually glued in may be pulled out due to old glue.
It's a great idea but ask when doing it with someone else's item. Would want to see anyone get in big trouble.

Hi Gina, Good idea but maybe you should ask first? But I am sure we might have things we'd like to do of our own and we could use this idea. Thanks

I am just SURE that any antique store would LOVE people cramming clay onto their old pieces! PLEASE think for a moment before doing something this discourteous!
