I thought I'd very quickly address the following question....
"I am so excite to try this! Thank you so much for sharing. I do have a question - I will need to order the clay online because it isn't sold locally. Is there any way you can share the list of colors for all 12 figures so I can place one order and save on shipping?" - Michelle
So, in case others out there are in the same boat as Michelle, I thought I'd list out the colors of clay that I use for the whole Nativity set. Keep in mind that some colors you will use more of than others so I will do my best to guess at the quantity of each - these are just best guesses.
Leaf Green - 1
Moss Green - 1
Beige - 2
Deep Red Pearl - 1
Black - 1
Pearl - 2 (maybe 3)
Jewelry Gold - 1
Gold - 1
Lilac - 1
Purple - 1
Chocolate - 1
Hazel Nut - 1
Suede Brown - 1
Tan - 2
Blue Pearl - 1
Let me know if you have more questions, and in the meantime, I've gone back to doing Valentine's stuff. Fun stuff coming soon!
