I pre-bake and make a wire/foil/clay armature to hold up the tail feathers as it bakes and cools. I'll take some more WIP pictures of this process on my next one and post it. I'll be making a lot more of these once I finish up the few projects I'm working on right now.

If you're going to invest in tools for that type of stuff foil, wire and wire cutters and some basic plastic tools are what I started with. I can post a picture of the tools that I have if you'd like.

you dont have to.
thank you for the info
i have foil and some wire but i dont
think i got the right kind of wire. 
the tools are what im scared to buy
mostly becouse i dont know what to do.
ive tried youtubing for it but everyone i find
has different clay than i do, and it dose not work
the same.

I think I have 20 gauge wire and I just get that near the jewelry department. The tools I use the most came from a purple 3 (double ended) pack made by sculpey, and there are also these nice wooden tools that I think come in a 5-7 pack but I can't remember who makes them. I'm pretty sure both of those are under $10. If you get them at michaels or Joann's they have 40% off and sometimes 50% off coupons online that you can print off or use with your phone.

oh cool idk what kind of wire i got
it was just jewelry wire.  the clay i
got was the just the basic sculpty white
bake clay. idk if that was the right one to get.
when i got my scuplting stuff i didnt see any
tools but my walmart is an odd one.
ill have to see if i can find the michaels around here
and go looking again when i get the money to.
Thank you

Thank you! I'm happy you like it! =] I'll be making a batch of blue/white ones as soon as I'm done with my current projects. I'll be making micro, mini and regular sized ones. This one is a regular sized one.

Cool! I can't wait to see them. As I said, I wish I could afford one XD maybe I can but unno, depends on how much they are going for.
