Thanks! I was really pleased to see there was a manufactured Medusa/Gorgon being made!! And the difference in the hairstyles still makes them different.

Any tips for someone about to try it herself?

I use the Fimo ultra light clay, by STeadtler. It's a bit of a spongeytexture, but smooths wonderfully onto the dolls, and it great for using on their heads, as the light weight if it once dry will not topple their balance.

For the Medusa with wild snakes, I used wire supports, actually attached just inside the vinyl of the doll's head, and covered them with tissue paper and PVA glue. This gave the clay something to "bite" onto.

For the clay corsets, I used a thin sheet of clay directly onto the doll body and then cut the shape needed using a craft knife. It dried right on the doll body. Of course, you can wrap the body with cling film (saran wrap) first, then after the clay is dried, gently ease it off the body and glue back on. It dpeends on whether you use the clay all around the body. I intend to to clay armour pieces too, like I have on my larger Medusa (also in my pictures) The dry clay takes paint brilliantly. Hope this helps.
