Experiments with air dry clay part 1!

I’ve long enjoyed working with clay and while I’m no expert I thought It would be fun to share a few of my efforts. I purchased this 25lb box of clay at Michaels for about eight dollars.

This clay comes in white and terracotta. I using the terracotta for all the projects that you'll see today. This picture shows how the clay looks after it has dried out which take a couple of days.

This little bird fell off of a tile that I sculpted while it was drying.

This tile that I sculpted was painted us acrylic paints. You can't see from this picture but, I glued it to a round piece of wood so that I could attach a hanger and display it.

This is another tile that’s painted with acrylic paint and then I added a clear spray coat to seal it and give it a shine.
