Hi Nikole,

I mean can I use this stuff to redesign an existing hard figure/puppet...like for example the one in my avatar...if for example I want to add wrinkles or maybe a bigger nose, will your stuff work?

Thanks

ahhhhh so you want it to stick to something already made that has a hard surface.  Yes with glue.  I'll show you an example with a doll from my other shop.  The doll is made of wood.  First, I formed the shape of the hair with the clay directly on the wood piece.  I let it harden and then I pulled it gently off and glued it back on.  I used SOBO glue which is a type of white glue.  Once the product is dried, it can be painted.  You can decide to paint it either before or after you glue it on to your existing piece.

Example....hair on Peg Wood doll:

I also just finished a cute cow and some pigs that also used the clay for their ears.  I have to wait until the sun comes up to take a picture of them as it is almost 2 a.m. here in Hawaii.  I know...I know....what am I doing up so late?  I am sick and cannot sleep.  :'(  At least I am being productive....well not right now as I sit on the computer but I am waiting for things to dry....you know how it is. 

I'll post more pics in the morning...er...later this morning! 

Aloha,
Nikole

Well....I got NO sleep last night but was very productive with my little dolls.  Here is a picture of an example of how I incorporated the air dry paper clay to my wooden dolls.
