I just like to add that you can buy aves apoxie sculp natural and then during the mixing of the putty also mix in some acrillic paint - which color is your choice - you will get your fingers dirty form the paint so use perhaps gloves and voila! you have your own colored putty to work with :)...

Greetings, In my humble opinion you are doing the greatest disservice to the Russian art of figure painting by labelling this working painting style a 'Faberge Egg.' Perhaps it is out of ignorance of the Russian art as a whole, which is nothing new and generally very typical when the Eastern...
