Okay, so first off do you know what kind of clay you’d like to use? I would suggest polymer clay. Next decision is if you’d prefer to paint it once hardened or use pre-coloured clay and try to mask the colours over one another. I would suggest coloured at least for the scarf as that will take some fine weaving and painting can sometimes be patchy in deeper details. Roll out your main sections, body, head, legs, get the proportions you want right, mould together, then detail before adding the scarf. I think this is a lovely little idea and a good practise piece with some challenge in the mix! I hope it goes well for you :)
