my dreams will make a thundering sound
so that you can easily find them
Cernit is a brand of polymer clay, I think it's Swiss or German-made, I forget which. They're essentially the same thing (aka polymer clay) but every brand has different consistencies. For example, Sculpey III is easy to work with - you can smear it, and it retains its solid shape if you leave it alone. Cernit is harder to work with - it's rubbery, not like the clay-likeness of Sculpey, and if you overwork it it starts to lose its shape in some places. Though, the benefit of Cernit is that it doesn't smear, so it can take details well, though that depends on how malleable it is.
You can also find mica powder online, if you google it. You will probably see a few brands, but the most popular is called PEARL-FX or something like that.
Tools are pretty generic - you can use whatever tools you like, or the standard clay/sculpting tools. I know that a lot of experts actually make their own tools, from nails or blunt knives, etc. etc. For the paopu fruit, I started with a ball, pinched in the 5 points, and had one hell of a time because it was cernit and I was waaay overworking it =_= I used a blunt straight-edge tool to further sharpen the points.
Good luck!

you mold the clay onto the keychain metal itself? or you mold it then you attach it?
