To really give this the test of time, though, I would like the items to be outside until at least August. Where do you go at the end of March. By the way, I'm very jealous of people that get to winter in AZ. I love it there! Judy- Thanks so much for the offer.

While we do not get the sun like some of the other places do, what we do have is extreme UV exposure, because of our altitude, though I will say we have at least 3/4 of the year in sunshine. We live just outside the Great Smokys National Park in NC, and I would be happy to add UV exposure to your test. I have noticed that things I didn't have fade issues with while living at the NC coast, such as the plastic outdoor furniture and doghouses, they quickly faded over a year's time up here, so I feel it might add something valuable to your tests.

Several people have stepped forward, and I am going to try to figure out a way to involve everyone, without my having to make a gazillion little birds. I have lots of rainbow cane made in each brand, so will most likely make an easier alternate shape for some to put out. Thanks again! Barbara-Thanks very much for the offer.

Let me know if I can help. I love polymer clay and was really envolved with it until I started a full time, high stress job and have had to put it on the back burner for awhile. I miss playing with the clay and will some day get back into it.

I left a piece near the window under a skylight. It gets brief sun exposure during the morning. From my experience fimo soft black is not light fast. I left a piece near the window under a skylight.
