Where do I go to buy good quality sculpting tools?  I really need some......have been using a cheaper set of wooden ones, and just broke my favorite tool while making Felix. :doh:   Good time to upgrade!  Would appreciate any information on what's considered the best to use and/or what your particular favorites are........

Bit late to the party, but if you are sculpting in Polymer Clay, plain old knitting needles make fabulous sculpting tools. If they are long, cut them shorter... I use a couple of sizes of "cable needles" which are short and double ended. Use them in a rolling motion to smooth and blend the clay.
    Also Tapestry needles in various sizes are great for smaller detailing.
