hello, i think my concern is probably silly, but reassurance would be nice. :)
i have a fursuit head that i made, and i used sculpey satin glaze on the teeth and nose. the clay was model magic for its light weight properties. they are all painted with acrylics.
considering i breath out the nose and mouth, could these things be toxic to breathe in? i do have the old formula glaze that has the birth defect warning on it so it made me wonder. i'm probably just being silly, but answers would be appreciated. thanks. :)

BTW, the birth defect tests were on FROGS, we share minimal biological links with them. And it was STILL really low.

I am still peeved about the change in polymer clay formula's because of those test. Changed the texture of the clay when you work with it too.

Pretty sure craft acrylics and most craft store clays will be non toxic as they're often sold for kids. I had a mask done in acrylic paint that I wore over my mouth for a few days at a convention and I didn't notice any negative side effects (and I get migraines easily from chemicals and smells).

You should be fine.

Should be fine.

My son ate some of the old birth defect warning lable polymer clay when he was about 2 (he thought the brown clay was chocolate) and he is 8 now, no evident side effects.
