Looking for Sculpting Clay?

I am looking for sculpting clay to make figurines with. I want it to be able to be painted with acrylic paints and to be air dried since I don’t have an oven. I am looking for clay that is waterproof and that is not too expensive. I already checked out DickBlick.com but I am unsure if these are the best clays around (quality and price-wise). If anyone that has had experience with clay can help me out, I’d be really appreciative!

michaels.com is a good place as well as hobbylobby.com

Good luck!

Use on wet hair for volume and hold. Use on dry hair to create texture and volume.Hair is a combination of protein and moisture. When hair is healthy it has the correct balance of the two. Nucleic-A is formulated to help restore and maintain that balance by supplying the natural elements that enhance hair’s structure and physical makeup.Amino acids are the basic building blocks of the keratin protein that help replenish the strength back into damaged hair. What makes the Nucleic-A range so unique is the introduction of nucleic acids that are major components of DNA and RNA chains in the body. Just like amino acids, nucleic acids are part of the composition of keratin protein. However, they are much smaller in size and shape, and as such, can penetrate deeper into the hair and help strengthen and repair the smaller damaged sites that are often overlooked.All Nucleic-A products contain specially blended amino acids and nucleic acids to help restore the correct balance of protein and moisture in the hair. Natural moisture, strength and body are renewed with each application of every Nucleic-A product. By adding both amino and nucleic acids back into the hair, Nucleic-A products are able to reform total hair structure much more effectively so you can… Reveal your Beauty through Science.
