    Thanks dear.. It's made out of home made clay..
    Clay prep:
    Take equal amount of cornflour and fevicol n mix it using a spatula.. Add 3 tsp of baby oil, 1 tsp of lemon juice and mix well until u get dough like consistency. U can add flour if u feel it's sticky or vise versa..
    Apply oil or Vaseline on a clean surface n knead the dough until soft. U need to knead it thoroughly only then it will become soft n easy to work with.
    This is air dry clay n no need to bake it. It will take 24 hours to dry completely depending on the thickness of the figurines u make..

    Make any designs n let it dry completely. Apply paint once it is dry.. Hope this is of some help..

    Usha.

    It is best to use clay modelling tools while working with miniatures.. The end result of these will be so cute. This can be used in terrariums, miniature gardens..

    The fairy house looks enchanted. : ) The colors are vibrant. What caught my attention was the eyes of each animal and the angle of the head. As if it is waiting, listening, watching for something. For the next magic or doom to happen in the tale. Well done.
    Is there any brand of clay modelling tools that is better than others?

    Did you use a picture for inspiration and proportions of sizes?
