I used Sculpey. I pressed each half of a peach pit into a separate block, then
baked them until hard. To make the pits, I sprinkled a little sugar into the
bottom of each mold, put 1/2 tsp. of paste into one, placed an almond and
another 1/2 tsp. of paste on top, and pressed the other mold piece over it.
Then I carefully removed the top mold, scraped away the excess paste, and eased
the peach pit loose. However, though Sculpey is labelled non-toxic, it is not
recommended for food use. I was willing to use it for one experimental batch,
but I would not want to do so on a continuing basis. This is why I went
looking for a potter at Pennsic. If you have access to a kiln, you might want
to try making one yourself. I do not know if unglazed or glazed will work
best -- the potter has promised to make me one of each.
