The clay I've been working with for these lovely little Bob-Ombs is quite solid when it dries. If you use a large enough amount.

What is shown here is every last one of the bits of hair I had sculpted onto this particular Bob-Omb yesterday. When I went to put a basecoat on it, all the hairs started falling off. Using hot glue didn't help either. So now, after working on this for hours, I have to redo it. >.O
