[Woodcarver] Question for those that make models from clay

[Mike Bloomquist]

Bill,
I use a non-hardening oil based clay called Plastilina(Roma brand) which I
got a local arts supply store.  There are other brands.  Try to find a large
arts supply store near you rather than AC. Moore or Michaels since I find
them to be more expensive at those stores.  The same holds true for the
aluminum wire armature I buy.  Both are recyclable though the armature tends
to get shorter with each project since it doesn't like being bent and unbent
too many times.  My source is Commercial Art Supply in Syracuse.

Plastilina can be found on the net at:

but I personally haven't dealt with any of them.

Keep on Carvin'
