Description Wow, finally a clay tutorial! The first thing that was on my to-do list that I've actually completed. @__@ I know you guys have been asking for a tutorial for a while, so now you may know the secrets to how I make clay figurines, haha.

Why a llama? Well when I made my ones I realised that they were quite simple to make, and since a few of you guys (my watchers) had asked for a tutorial, I figured that a llama was a good way to go, easy and very deviantart-y.

Why foil? It makes your figurine lighter, faster to bake and you use less clay.

Clarification: To soften clay you can work it with your fingers, like massage it etc.

Remember, the tutorial goes from left to right, not down. n_n;
I hope you guys find this useful! It really could be used to any animal. This is the technique I use for ALL of my clay creations, so yeah, just adapt it to your needs.

Can't wait to see your llamas! Please show me what you do! If you do give me a link, I'll post it here so others can admire your llamas too!

I am going to make this, but I have to bake mine at 275 F (135 C) and I don't know how long I have to bake the clay since I'm going to use foil.I was hoping you would know how long I have to bake it.

yingmakes In reply to GamerGirl5263 [2011-12-30 00:32:07 +0000 UTC]

Hmm, I honestly have no idea! Try a medium temp for a short amount fo time, with foil it'll take much less time to bake.
