Trial and error. I have to be honest. I don't like the clay that I used. It was too hard to work with, and I suck at having to bake clay as you can tell from Toxic's burnt ears. But I think I'm on the right track. May have to find some air dry clay. Though the issue I have with air dry clay is it always cracks on me. So I'll just hve to keep getting clay until I find one that works for me. This clay was the cheapest I could find. So that might be why I was having issues.

ANYWAY! This is my Lil Toxic. She is actually missing a lot of things such as her face marking her collar and the black on her ears (though had I let her bake longer they may have been black on her ears)

I'm trying out different things right now, just playing around. But once I find a clay and technique that works for me I would love to take some commissions. Get a little extra dough in my pocket.

I have lots of clay left over so I'll try to make another little animal soon. and maybe this time I wont burn it.
