So, I have a couple news to share today
Helpful Tutorials - lots of new tutorials in a brand new home
I've decided to revamp my old "Helpful tutorials" list! Aside from moving it to a new, dedicated webpage, here's all the new features:
Several new sub-categories - from clay-related tecniques to generic, and not necessarily clay related, miniature tutorials.
Added preview images next to each tutorial to make browsing easier.
Added "Tested" and/or "Recommended for Beginners" icons to find out easily if I, uh, tested the tutorial and/or recommend it to beginners!
I've also added 15 new awesome tutorials - check them out if you want to learn to make miniature gingerbread houses, llamas, toadstools and much more!
All of the newly added tutorials are marked by a "new" icon to make it quicker to recognize them.

). I baked for about 10 minutes.
Step 3
This is what the clay looks like, after it's baked. Gotta admit it looks anything but good
Step 4
The big moment! Seems like it worked - but I'm thinkin
