aww no im so sorry to hear. I cant offer you much help. Im not skilled in this area. :( But I am sending ((HUG)) your way. DIY stuff can be a pain!
awww...Thanks.... She looks totally awesome except for this broken arm! I dunno I guess maybe the 3rd time is a charm!
I would pick up some aluminum craft wire (or really, any metal wire) to create a 'skeleton' with, and build your model around that. It should help keep big pieces like arms from falling off.
Good luck! :)
Pics? I assume you used polymer clay.. Maybe painting her arm would disguise the glued part? You may have to paint the other arm to match.. I think any acrylic paint would work pretty well.. Is there any way to position the bride's injured arm behind the groom to hide it a little bit? I say don't give up on this project!! It sounds like you've worked so hard and it sounds SO cute! I think posting a pic or two might help some people to provide a few more suggestions..
I agree- do you have a picture so we can give suggestions?
The bride will be at the bottome of the cake "climbing" up a ladder to the bride on the top.
No I dont have a picture... I am going to try it one more time and if that doesnt work them i give up LOL

OK so i did my second run was hoping to be the final run on my Clay bride.... well her arm broke off when she was baking....
The first run i had I made an entire tin foil base out for her... arms head and all....she ended up being a little pudgy and her arms were waaayyyy to big... but she was a really good first draft... her proportions were just off.
Well this time I just used the tin foil base for her body shoulders and neck... the arms and head were strictly clay...
Well I could not get her arms to do what i wanted to ... like she wouldnt hold up her bouguet and I wanted the other arm giving Rock "horns" well after fidling with her for a while and putting in some toothpicks and stuff for support. I baked her....
NOW i put in all this work on this thing and i go to check it in the over and the arm is just completely broken off.... Well I take it out and try to put a little clay on to see if i can fix it and patch it together and i break her arm off even more.
So now she is completely unusable and I have used my pearls and gems and Even a real tiny diamond on a clay character that I can not even use. I glued her arm on but you can definately tell.... that it was broken in two places
I am sooo frustrated and am feeling like giving up... so now all I have that I can use for my cake sculptures... is the ladder..... I still have no bride and have yet to even attempt my fireman groom :(
Does anyone have any tips or suggestions?
