As for the hair on the ponytail if you look back at the original sketch you'll see that Will Barras has drawn thick lines making it appear more rope like and i wanted to be able to re-create this, so I looked on 'Sculpey's' website to see what tools they had and found the extruder which as you can see from picture st1.21 is basically a metal syringe that you can what comes out the end by changing a little perforated plate.
