Description
Size: 6 inches Tall and 5 inches Long.

I decided to experiment with Air Dry Clay. I'm hoping I can be successful enough to sell these.

I probably won't be doing this fur style again because it added a lot of unnecessary weight and layers to the sculpture, however it's drying much better then I expected. Unlike the legs, which was an epic fail on my part. I KNOW from past experience that I should have wrapped the legs and let them dry much much slower. Instead I was an idiot and they dried to fast so every leg has cracked. If it wasn't for the wire armature one would of broken off. Damnit.

On a side note the wire armature IS the issue on the broken leg. I made the wire on the back legs too long. I considered clipping it back, after, but I'm afraid the vibration would cause breakage.

I did look at a million tutorials before doing this, but like anything you just have to figure it out yourself. And the reviews for air dry clay were never that great, but it's my only option right now. Wish me luck lol.

The plan now is to fix the legs, dry them last, and auction this critter off. And yes he'd be under a "buy at your own risk" since it's my first one and I'm still learning

Male or Female, he's not either, but I refer to him as a he because originally it was going to be male. But the fur technique covers up any sort of questions.. so he can be either gender
