How to Choose Supplies for a Figurine Sculpture

JORGE BENLLOCH: This is Jorge Benlloch for Expert Village. We are going to construct now a little figurine with clay. I'm going to choose what clay, water-based clay. We have red clay, we have gray clay. I'm going to use the gray one because it's less messy. Then I'm going to put this away. We have here this--let me tell you that this project, it's really a very good project also to do with the Sculpey but I don't have enough material to do the size that I want to do in order to show--to look good on the show. But with this--in the way that I'm going to do it, you can do it at home and it's going to last quite long because we are going to protect with a special coating and you don't need to put it in the kiln, no. Just in the way that I'm doing it, it will last very, very much. Then this Plasticine or plastiline, then we are not going to use it but also it's good to make a model and later to make a mold on the figurine. Well, then the materials that we have for that particular project is one base that I'm going to do a little structure, very easy, just in order to hold the body of the figurine, roller pin, these two pieces of wood, the cutting wire; some little tools; and, of course, this in order to cut this--this is aluminum wire, very, very nice and soft, one screw, and something to work with that, and that's almost it. Let's start.
