I wish I had seen this an yr before, I would have picked up some ANRI figurines from an estate sale I went to. The house belonged to a retailer of ANRI figures. 4"-6" figures were being sold at $15 each. Was hard to tell that they were curved from wood, they were so well done. It was the first time I had laid eyes on such craftsmanship. I was there to pick up a Minnie and Mickey mouse 14" articulating figures and thats all I got there. The translucent paint lets you see the wood grain, its so beautiful. I am proud to say I have 2 ANRI figures at least.

Fantastic work, which I came across by accident when looking for how to colour-finish fired clay sculpture figures. I am just learning to make sculptures but have little idea how to finish, ie colour them. Please could you list your materials because as a beginner I am unfamiliar with the products best suited for fired clay. Also, I guess some products may not be recognised here in UK, so advice on this would be welcome too. Thanking you in advance.
