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.
Other Tutorials (including how to make a cape for your llama):
Here are some of my deviations showing them completed!
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!

Then again, I see where you're coming from: there's been a lot more llama features D:
Though this tutorial is helpful, and also some of those llama pictures are pretty awesome. They don't just feature any old llama junk.

yingmakes In reply to xXMJDXx [2010-10-19 04:39:19 +0000 UTC]
Not very long if they've got foil in the middle.. maybe 5 mins at 180C?

Using foil in the legs is a great way to make sure the legs don't warp when you bake them. Why didn't I think of that before?

yingmakes In reply to TheChainsawUnicorn [2010-09-11 22:57:56 +0000 UTC]
ooh, warping? Wow. I've never had that problem, I guess that's another plus for using foil.

I've been having a problem with it off and on. Up until now I've been embedding wire, that bonds with polymer clay, in the limbs to keep them from buckling in the oven. That only gave me moderate success though.

Daww, they look so cute X3!
But I don't get something. Its the foil just to fill it out so you dont need as much clay? Or does it strenghten it too?

yingmakes In reply to PracticallyGeeky [2010-09-11 00:03:38 +0000 UTC]
Both! It also makes it lighter and it bakes faster.
