Started working on my hand from this tutorial, have to say it is excellent and very easy. Here's a pic of what I got so far.



Can't wait to get some more time to work on it...maybe tonight. I got some clay to get me started. Too many projects. not enough time...

Thanks for the great tutorial.

Hey Herman...got a quick question for ya. Did you have a problem with the clay cracking after it was dry?

I just made the fingers on one hand and decided to let it dry before I did the palms of the hands. Well, while looking at it after it dried i noticed the clay shrank at the joints and base and is really really fragile...to the point of cracking chunks off as I'm handling them. Maybe it's the clay I'm using but didn't know if you had a similar problem. I'm using Crayola air dry clay, and I have shaped my hands in a gripping position, cause I'm planning on using it for my skeleton to hold a lantern.

Have any similar problems?

I didn't have this problem at all ... but I used DAS clay. I didn't get any shrinkage or cracking and the hands held up fine after they dried.

Maybe Crayola clay handles differently
