1. For clams, roll a snake of champagne Fimo about 1/16 inch diameter. For potatoes, knead just a touch of ochre Fimo into transparent Fimo and roll a snake not quite 1/8 inch diameter. Bake both in oven at 300 degrees for 10 minutes. With craft knife, cut snakes into small, irregularly shaped pieces.
2. Mix resin and catalyst according to directions. Stir in a touch of white opague resin pigment and just a tiny touch of amber transparent dye. Stir thoroughly. Carefully pour mixture into a tureen, pot, or bowls until about half-full. Sprinkle in clams and potatoes and gently arrange with a toothpick. Allow to harden undisturbed overnight.
A note about resin
Polymer compound resin (such as Envirotex Lite) is sold in a kit with two bottles: the resin and the catalyst. Pour equal parts in a paper cup, then stir mixture thoroughly.
