I recently purchased some Firm Super Sculpey (an oven bake clay) for the first time to try my hand at sculpting. I had read about a clay-pipe dairy goddess and liked the idea of forming my own creation with a hollow center and so I wrapped a coil of clay around my finger and then put a small round ball for a head on the top. I wanted to create a shape and design that I could use over and over to create a whole line of figures; something cute and simple. Well, my little goddess figure somehow morphed into a Bird Person who later decided that he wanted a wee striped railroad cap and a bowtie! I baked him in the oven for the requisite 15-30 minutes at 275° and will paint him next so stay tuned!
