I was mesmerized by seeing how great the photograph looked transferred onto the polymer clay. was wondering what technique  you've used to accomplish this so well, I'd love to do same for my daughter's engagement party..
Thanks for any info

Dotty McMillan has done extensive work on this technique.  Her video is available at MindStorm Videos. IMHO, nothing is better than actually seeing a technique.
Q
Hello! I am a rubber stamper. I would like to make an imprint or mold from an art rubber stamp. Then, once the mold is hard, I would like  to press a clay into the mold to replicate the art stamp image in a 3D form. Would Fimo or any of the Sculpey clays be suitable in both procedures? Do you have a suggestion?
Hope to hear from you! Happy New Year!

You can use most any polymer clay for this purpose. Many clayers like Sculpey Super Flex for this purpose.
There are also several mold materials available that can give you a flexible mold that can also be baked with the clay. Flexible mold material is available at Puffinalia.  For another, refer to the January issue of Polyzine
Another option would be to have Ready Stamp make custom stamps for you. You can purchase the matrix board along with the stamps. If that isn't enough, there is a full page of information at Glass Attic

I was given a scumbuster for my birthday.  I absolutely love it.  You have created a great product.  However, we are in the process of moving and I have lost the charger.  Is there anyway I can get a replacement?  Thanks so much.  By the way excellent website.
