So, the clay came today. It's a lot like wax in some ways but more melty. It's not sticky, which is annoying when I *want* it to stick to a key that I'm using as a base. I'm very happy with the way it smooths. The same clay tools I use for miniature work work very well. No, smells and I can work forever.
I may give the green stuff shot next. I'm still coming up with ideas for "ways to sculpt a key" this better clay opens a few more possibilities. Here are the first few things I made.
I'm happy with the crispness of the edges on this polygon. It might even be smooth enough to polish after casting!
The legs on this beetle took a long time. I still don't think I'm done. It needs too be crisper...
As for the tentacle? It will be a part of a series.
If the green clay is even better than this stuff I'll be in heaven.
