This video shows building out the reconstruction on this figure. I am using sabi made with jinoko, not tonoko.  Jinoko sabi is stronger overall for these types of fill, sometimes tonoko sabi will crack since it has more clay in it.  It would be possible to use kokuso made with wood fibers but I don’t at this stage because although there are some deep fills most of this work is finer than kokuso allows.  The body of the tsa tse figure is very low fired clay so it is important to not get sabi everywhere since it is next to impossible to get off it it hits the clay.
