<p>[QUOTE="ritzyvintage, post: 3552526, member: 18191"]I chose Black coloured air-drying clay due to its colour and, and thought it would be easier (and less messy) to work with? I may also find it easier to keep smooth whilst shaping it. I'll test a small piece for a good colour match before working on the sculpture... I like your idea for the making of a spear, [USER=5006]@kyratango[/USER] and I'll try using a wooden kebab stick. It will be a good contrast-colour to match his loin cloth! I think a short handled 'stabbing-type' spear would be better than a long javelin, and so I can attempt making a wooden blade. Perhaps looking at a few tribes/Zulu pics will give me some ideas?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
