Fawn antlers ^-^

I have a doll coming in and he's going to be a little fawn. Instead of buying the antlers, I wanted to try my hand at making them myself, so I did a trial run last week.
I managed to get some LaDoll air dry clay. I was a bit apprehensive since I had only worked with polymer clay before (years and years and years ago), so I didn't know quite what to expect for this type of clay. It wasn't too bad, although it feels a lot more fragile after drying than polymer clay.
I used my own eye shadow to "paint" it, and then I used clear nail polish to gloss at the end xD Next time I'll have to get some proper tools (and magnets too, I didn't have any magnets this time so I glued the antlers to a piece of ribbon).
Do they look OK?
Pine doing the modelling for me <3
For the mess I was expecting since it was my first attempt, I'm really just grateful that a) they actually resemble antlers and b) they stay on his head xD
