The knots where done the same way by extruding and then just spiralled round the pony, this was the only way i could think of making knots to be honest, to have them as more of a representation rather than an actual knot. Here though i made a mistake by not blending them into the pony strands, although that wouldn't have been easy because they are circular in cross section.

The ponytail now needed to be baked (st1.23), as i said earlier the clay 'Super Sculpey' can be baked in a normal home oven [135 degrees centigrade and 15 mins for every 1/4 inch thickness of clay] I needed to bake it because handling it too much would damage detail.
