I used air-dry clay, but fully coated both in paint. the rather visceral (accidentally so lol) heart got a base-coat of white acrylic paint, but the green man I went straight in with green paint which means that there are shades on there which are matte, and the upper coats of darker paint stayed glossy. I'm ever-so proud of him.

They are stunning, though the heart does make me feel a bit squeamish!
Maybe open hands with a heart laying in them would be a bit less... scary looking?
