Starfire's Neckpiece

I worked on Starfire's neckpiece and arm braces today. I had to find an alternative to Shapelock because it's not that easy to work with unless you have a pre-existing mold. This time I tried something a little different. We're going with air-dry clay because it's much easier to shape and work with and you don't have to bake it in order for it to dry out and harden. Ordinarily--I would try to buy a piece that I could use-but there just didn't seem to be anything that came close to matching my needs.

Here's a closeup on the neckpiece:


This is just the shaping. After the clay dries tomorrow--I'll have to sand it and put the final shapings on it. Have to apologize for the quality of the picture--I only had my cellphone right there.

And here are her arm bracers:

After they dry, I'll have to go back and sand and paint them the right colors. Stay Tuned.
