Modelled clay hide was created by Maxwell
I made this clay ornament/hide for my B.albopilosum as a first experiment
and I just had to post a pic!
I plan on doing lots of other ones this week.
The next step will be glazing, painting/decorating and then I'll add a sealer to
avoid any possible toxins from harming the t's.
This will happen as soon as I decide on the kind of spray/primer/paints to use
on the surface.

Looks great! Do you bake the clay or do you let it dry normally?

Thanks!

I bake the clay in an ordinary oven at a low temp to
speed it up slightly..

I made another two hides: the mushroom hide is on the small side.
It has 2 openings and will work nicely for a sub 8cm T.
I painted it with 2 metallic waterproof colours.

Decorated the skull - I wanted to do a brown and bronze look to match the curlys
colours, but got tempted to go green:

The latest one hasnt been painted - in progress..

I'm busy modelling something for a arboreal set-up which has no entrance, but ill keep that a surprise for tommorrow!

Let me know what your thoughts are..

Awesome!!! Stunning!!!

What clay do you use? Where can I get this clay?

This is why we should never take anything as the final result and set fact, but always be open to possibilities...this is where the adventure of discovery and connection between reality and the fantasy world lie.~ "Henry Howard Jnr"...
