Playing with clay

This last christmas I got some clay from Santa that i’ve been playing with today ^^.

I’ve already done some other stuff with the clay but today i really wanted to create charms (that you hang on necklaces you know :] ). I had some ideas that I sketched down, the fox is one of them. As my clay is in a solid color Im thinking that i will paint them with acrylic and then try to give them a glossy coating by painting them with some type of varnish.

I dont have much to show today since it got too dark to take good photos but I’ll take some tomorrow!

i didnt get very far today either, all I have are these bricks of clay. The reason why I’ve made bricks of them is that I find it easier to actually carve out the shapes when the clay has dried and gotten hard instead of trying to mold it while wet. When wet it starts cracking and it gets really difficult to work with.

Oh well, time to end the day with a good nights sleep. Nighty!
