i bought this stuff a few months ago - it's called paper clay. you mold it just like regular clay but it air dries and dried to a paper mache like consistency. my landlord, her friend, my mom & i had a small little craft day today so i thought it would be a good opportunity to make my snail. i've never really worked with clay - some when i was younger but not a lot. i used wax carving tools to help me with the swirl of the shell and hand molded the body. it needs to air dry for 3-4 days so i didn't paint him yet but i will post a picture as soon as i do! the shell isn't connected to the body so i will have to find some type of glue also. any tips?
