I love your way of storing the slices, your sorting system is brilliant! <br /><br />I'd love to know where you get your canes from?

Getting the full canes was a leap of faith that I'd be able to figure out how to slice them as thin as I wanted: it turned out that I don't even like them when they're as thin as I can get them! :)<br /><br />@D: LOL, I love how much you enjoy the fimo posts. <br /><br />@Rebecca: I'm glad you enjoyed it. I used to like looking at OTT fimo designs on other blogs -- thinking I'd never do it myself -- but then I started playing with it. Who knows, I'll probably end up going outside with a whole Sanrio opera on my nails one of these days... <br /><br />@Get Nailed: They're actually hard to squish. They are soft enough to cut with a sharp blade but it'd take a bit of effort to squash one of them flat with the palm of your hand.flintyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03221593310807232576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404413697013742957.post-36667562901468174292010-03-03T13:29:41.271-08:002010-03-03T13:29:41.271-08:00These things are so friggin' cute.

Stuff that could be easily mistaken for a sticker. Because that's so much more sophisticated than fimo.
