Thanks Uma and ammuchandhini. Acrylic paint and varnish works well on clay. I used air dry clay , Acrylic paint and varnish, Galvanised thin wire. you have to make 3 parts - one round for face, body shape and small circle for base. attach everything by inserting the thin wire in the middle of head , body and base..you can glue all for extra strength.then cover the gaps with thick clay and water paste... All done..Once it dries paint and then varnish. Note : try to avoid the cracks in the clay by smoothing it.
