So I've spent a lot of time reading about cold porcelain and finally got my act together to give it a try. I've had a book lying around for years on cute bread dough characters but I wasn't keen on using the oven for 2 hours (Mr Smith would have had something to say about the electricity) so I searched for an air drying alternative and that's how I discovered cold porcelain. I made the boy this morning after I tried mixing in molasses to get a skin tone colour (soy sauce didn't really work). I think I have some more prototyping to do before I'd be really happy with the dough consistency, colours and figurines but it is fun and considering that I was scared of sculpting anything (I think I once had a bad clay experience at school!) I feel a great sense of achievement already.
