Makin's is non-toxic, water based, and acid free when dry. The perfect air dry clay for maskmaking, it works great for adding feathers quickly and to adjust their positions easily. You have plenty of time to work and make changes before the clay hardens completely. The black color is better than white or other colors as the clay will be unnoticeable even when there are small gaps between the feathers. Unlike Model Magic, this product will dry hard, not spongy.

Rotating Display Turntables
These 2 speed rotating turntables are lightweight, and have a soft suede-like material on the turntable surface. The platform lifts off to reveal the motorized base, gears, and battery compartment as shown. All units use a standard "D" battery, which will operate the turntable continuously for up to two weeks. A small switch near the bottom of the base turns the unit on and off. The large white gear can be moved to the nearby post to change the speed from 4 RPM to 7 RPM. (The slower RPM is recommended for gourd display.) The largest size can accomodate several small gourds.
