Gormagaidh, the Celt

Meet Gormagaidh, the Celtic warrior. ("Gorm" means "blue" and "agaidh" means "face" in Irish Gaelic; the order of words is wrong and the gender might be, but I mixed them around a bit to make a less clumsy-sounding name, hehe...)
His buckle and talisman are salt clay coloured black with food colouring, baked, then sprayed with silver paint and dabbed with a sponge while the paint was still wet to give them an "aged" look.
Weirdly enough, his chest hair was the most time-consuming part; I had to thread about ten hairs at a time onto a needle, sew them into his chest, knot them and then backbrush and iron them several times.
