Air Dry Clay, c. 30cm x 10cm. The last of the air-dry experimentation for now, as I’ve reached the height limit with air dry clay. Beyond 30cm requires some more support – and more imporantly patience, neither of which I have in abundance right now. I’m generally pleased with the “washed out” pigmentation, though there …
