Sculpting with Air Dry Clay: Tips and Materials

Sculpting a "Potplant Creature" in AIR DRYING CLAY.
For this project I will be using AIR DRY clay as my primary medium, build around a ALUMINUM armature. After sculpting, the clay need to air dry for 4-5 days before its ready for painting. It DOES NOT need to be fired or molded.
