Woaow...its awesome! I especially like her hands...
Let me ask something, ive seen this material a lots of times but i cant figure out what is this and the others i asked from ignored me...so it is really urethane? You can buy it online as any other clay..? I use polymer clay, cant handle air dry clays and i thought i'd try out something new

Most of the figure is castilene which is kind of a wax/ clay hybrid. It's very firm but it doesn't dry so it has to be molded and cast into a urethane. The urethane I'm referring to in the pic is the bracelets and the knife which I sculpted separate and cast into urethane first and glue them on. (Urethane is a 2 part liquid plastic casting compound)That way I could work around them with out damaging the detail. Here's 2 different links where yo can buy castilene, I'm not sure if they ship internationally:

Hope this helps! I like your fay folk sculptures they're very expressive! good luck!

Oh i see now, then its like Plastilina and the other sulfur-like (and sulfur free) materials. Thank you so much, this site also told me a lot of new things about this one 
Thank you again and also for your lovely comment

maestro plague, would u be so kind to answer me, how its to work with castilene, compared to polymer clay or normal wax?

It's similar to working with non sulfer-plastilene, it has a degree of elasticity to it un like sulfur based clay. But the great thing is you can melt it and pur it simialr to wax and you can also work it with a waxer esp. if you tweak out the mix with some wax. When I started out i worked exclusively in wax and had to change to castilene for McFarlane . Unlike wax, revisions are very easy to make in castilene and toy workusually requires quite a bit of reworking at times. As you probably know big changes in a wax sculpt are incredibly time consuming. I pretty much do just about everything in this crap and as you can see it's only limited by your own skills.
