Garden Toad Made with Weatherproof Paper Mache Clay

This is the second video in this series about my garden toad sculpture. In the first video I showed you how I used a squash leaf to make something for the toad to sit on. Those long toes would be very easy to break, even though I made them with Magic Sculpt.

You can see the leaf video here: https://youtu.be/4RSWObvnFgI
