Wanted to try my hand at a tutorial, so when asking, one request was adding bits and textures to polymer clay sculpts. I use nearly all of these techniques for detailing my sculptures while doing slight variations on each to get different desired effects depending on what I'm working on. For larger pieces, you just use larger chunks of clay and larger tools. An important thing to remember is that because it's additive sculpting, you can add and remove as much clay as you please to get something to work. If you're not quite getting the result you want when adding something, try just using more clay than you think you need and trimming off the excess once something's secured! Happy scuplting :)

How I do the scale draws. Sorry about low quality of everything. Including the editing. O^O;; 

What's "alpacity"? What alpacas call Opacity? And what's with all of the unnecessary narration of tales? I'm... I'm not sure. Recorded most of this in the middle of the night or wee hours of morning, and used Windows Media Player instead of iMovie for the first time. It really shows.  iMovie is way better. At the very least it has the decency not to add strange clapping noises to the split between scenes.
