SCULPTING THE BODYSUIT
If you are using an Oil Based Clay that is safe to heat (make sure that it is, some oil based clays release Toxic fumes when heating) then you can do as I am in the following series of photos. Using a Heat Gun held about 3 inches away from the surface, I will quickly heat the surface of the clay to give it a smooth glossy surface. Be sure not to heat too long in one spot as the clay will begin to drip and run. By bouncing a bright light off the shiny surface it helps to tell me where I need to further smooth the clay.
