If you are going to try to use it, I would suggest one of two brands: Kato clay or Pardo Art clay. Kato is the strongest, while Pardo has the most flexibility after baking, especially in thin areas. I've seen sheets of it rolled up like paper, or cords of it crocheted.All polymer clays come in extensive color selections, but I would suggest working in a medium grey; you'll have to mix it yourself.There is a professional sculpting clay called Prosculpt by Jack Johnson that I've never used. You might want to try ordering a small amount of it...Tools: dental tools, wax carving tools. Ball tip tools. Knitting needles. Soft and Firm rubber-tipped tools (the cone shaped one is my favorite in a couple of sizes). Mostly you learn by using them that you'll end up with 2-3 favorites and ignore the rest. I don't like the wire loop tools, but others love them. I use a needle set in a clay handle a lot. I also have a needle with the eye cut off so it makes a double ended tool for drawing fur. Again, mounted in a clay handle.For making scales, I use a small tool found here: <a href="http://www.polymerclaycentral.com/texture_tool.html" target="_blank">Polymer Clay Central</a>I strongly suggest she get involved in the polymer clay community online, and let them help her understand what the material is capable of. Polymer clay central is a great forum of very helpful people; there are Yahoo groups, and of course facebook pages. Youtube has hundreds of videos. She might check out Kathy Dewey and see where that leads her.</blockquote>
