More mess to be made. Thick goo mixed from PVA, paint, toilet paper, fine sand and a few drops of dirty water. The burnt sienna coloured version of the goo is just the components mixed togehter and painted on with an old brush. For burnt umber (=darker) parts I left the toilet paper out of the mix, but instead drenched sheets of paper in the mix to create kinds of roots or veins. Shaping and molding them was a bit tricky, so next time I'll try to use more glue and paper to thicken up the mix.
Found some pearl clay from a pound shop, and it's absolutely great stuff! Easy to shape and attach, plus it dries quick. It might not stick well to completely flat surfaces, but works just fine in nooks & corners. I'll propably paint these little pearly eggs pink.
