What is the Source of Fimo Beads?
It’s interesting to note however that in the 1930’s, Kathe Kruse discovered an alternate plastic modelling compound that can be used for her doll factory. However, it did not materialize and she then handed over to her daughter Sophie Kruse, fondly known as “Fifi”. It was then sold to Eberhard Faber and is now popularly known as FIMO or Fifi’s Modeling compound. Thus, came about FIMO, another form of polymer clay used for sculpting, caning, and beading, among all other things that can be used for any arts and crafts materials.
