Some time ago I discovered browsing on the internet the existence of a material called "cold porcelain". Since then, I have procrastinated to try it because I thought it was too complicated for me... but, actually I tried it and it is easy and fun! And the outcome is simply magic: once dried, cold porcelain is similar to plastic, very resistant, and its pearl white color is really dreamy!
The soft white color, the tonality of which is between a pearl and ivory, seemed to me the same of teeth: for that reason, with my dough of material I've produced many teeth to be used with pendant for cute and funny necklaces! With another portion of my cold porcelain, I made a wide range of owls, to be used as teeth, hanged to your necklace as mascots! I hope you like them, you can find both on my etsy...

Can you tell me what pugging is? What do you use to draw the lines? I would love to try this with my grandkids.
Thanks everybody for your warm comments!
To Anonymous: pugging means kneading. And I've drawn them with permanent drawing pens.
Hi! I have to try it out! How long does it take to get ready to be used after dry? It's air dried?
Your owls look awsome!
Hi Mariana, yes it is air dried and the process of drying takes some time. My creations needed almost a week to be completely dried. More big the item, much time it needs to be dried. I hope it can help, cheers
I like to work with cold porcelain too, also in Portugal we call it "biscuit" :D I like the color.
I love your owls :D :D
these are lovely. I made this the other day but my ingredients were different and it was very sticky. i will try again i think, What pens have you used to draw on it?? thanks
These are a delight!
You are so extremely talented. I love these! :)
So cute!

Hi! These are awesome! I was wondering, once they are dry, are they still a little bit soft or are they completely solid? I'm just worried about accidentally mushing them :P
For Kim: once dried, they are completely solid, almost as solid as true teeth. Thanks for the cute comment, cheers.
Hi there! Your teeth (and everything else on this blog) are adorable! I just made this recipe last night, and a little model to test with.
On a lot of other sites I read, it says that cold porcelain shrinks as it dries. Is that true for this recipe?
Much thanks!
To Elaine: Thank you very much! Yes, also in this case cold porcelain shrinks a little when it dries. Have a lot of fun with it!!
I love the owls and will take a look on Etsy to buy some. Very cute.
Can you add food color or other type of pigment for coloring the whole batch?
For Mattie Rasa: all ingredients are listed. I've never tried to add pigments, I prefer it white as porcelain...
So cute! My son liked the art work and I too. Keep sharing!
ciao
ho letto la tua ricetta ma non conosco le misurazioni con tazze e cucchiai: è possibile avere la "traduzione" in grammi?
grazie e complimenti per il blog e i cuccioli a 2 e 4 zampe che allietano la tua vita
You're so awesome! thanks for sharing that cold porcelain recipe! n_n
