I've never seen polymer clay used like this before. Did you start with some sort of base to attach the clay?

I attach them to whatever I have like the frame backing for example or even the glass. The Edward Scissorhands clay painting was done on a particle board frame that I found at the Sally Ann. Starving artist and all...I'll post a pic of that one in case you didn't see it. I fastened it with a screw in the back because he's very front heavy and I was worried his face would fall forward if I didn't.
