DO I need to mention AGAIN, how much sanding is needed in this kind of work??
While sculpting porcelain I sand it in its dry state just before bisque fire. Its tricky delicate work. I use a dry brush on tiny items and a dremel with various grit bits for others- grit #120 ...Then after the bisque I sand again with the Dremel grit# 300 ...Then after high fire I sand again at #400 After china painting each layer and its fired to cone 018, I sand it AGAIN! with a #600 dremel bit. That is a lot of sanding. And you have to be patient and very careful with such intricate pieces like the moths above. You can't catch the edges with the bits or you drop it. I usually use a foam pad to work on or below me while handling.
