Advanced Clay Play Pt. 3

Here's another installment in my clay series since I loove it so much and there is so much you can do with it! This is a little fella I made with some FIMO clay a pal gave me. While I'm not recommending FIMO to little ones it can be great product if used for the right project. First off, its really hard and even brand new product takes a while to soften up. I think I worked with this for 10 minutes before I was able to scuplt it into anything. It works best when sculpting by adding pieces and smoothing them on. Beads would be great too. Carving doesn't work great because its so stiff (you can see this in my feet!). It hardens beautifully and my oldest son was able to make an adorable minnow which I'll have to post here next.
