Sculpey Adventures in Birdland

I recently purchased some Firm Super Sculpey (an oven bake clay) for the first time to try my hand at sculpting.  I had read about a clay-pipe dairy goddess and liked the idea of forming my own creation with a hollow center and so I wrapped a coil of clay around my finger and then put a small round ball for a head on the top.  I wanted to create a shape and design that I could use over and over to create a whole line of figures; something cute and simple.  Well, my little goddess figure somehow morphed into a Bird Person who later decided that he wanted a wee  striped railroad cap and a bowtie!  I baked him in the oven for the requisite 15-30 minutes at  275° and will paint him next so stay tuned!
