It is a joy to work with this amazing clay. At first, I was using too much water with the clay at first and backed down a bit and realized the clay was more like using pottery wheel clay in feel and texture. That is when I was able to wrap my mind around the texture and get the 'feel' of how it all came together to make a face. <br />You are doing great! And I think it is neat you have your own style of doll. <br />Cheers!<br />Teresa S. in Cloth and Clay ning<br />http://amagicalwhimsy.blogspot.com/A Magical Whimsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15473478545205572098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506351075015078187.post-19506261753339965372013-01-21T19:24:48.513-05:002013-01-21T19:24:48.513-05:00These look awesome!

I buy it at Michael's (a US craft store). It comes in a 'brick' and all you have to do is open the wrapping and start to work. No mixing. You should work the clay in your hands and you use water to make it stick and to smooth it, etc. No oven -- it air drys. Some people put it in the oven at a really low temperature but I just set mine by a heater vent and leave is overnight. It drys very hard. After that you have sand it lightly and then go through the painting process. No odor, easy to clean up and fun! What more could we want?<br />PennyPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999711983585051357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506351075015078187.post-77291326270802140982013-01-17T08:04:00.802-05:002013-01-17T08:04:00.802-05:00It's reassuring to find that your style is alr...It's reassuring to find that your style is already developing in the new medium - it must give you a lot of confidence!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322676800314521539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506351075015078187.post-12952895041881180452013-01-17T07:42:38.266-05:002013-01-17T07:42:38.266-05:00Hi, I am not a doll maker but love dolls and find ...Hi, I am not a doll maker but love dolls and find yours fascinating. I am interested in paperclay and did a short course on it when the tutor made his own, a very messy business. This had to be fired, from what you are saying you don't fire yours, would be interested to know if what you are using is a different product.<br />Thanks DebbieDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300029654181323351noreply@blogger.com
