I planned to make the club and push the teeth in from the inside. Since the paperclay dries stronger I figured I would be less likely to break teeth made of paperclay rather than regular clay. I know you can use "wet on dry" with paperclay but only the teeth (not the club) are paperclay so I don't know how that will work out. I did a test tile with a tooth sticking through it and it seemed to work OK. The tooth was a little loose in the tile but when I glazed both sides that fixed it. We'll see what happens when I fire it. (The woodgrained clay is a brown and a tan clay marbled together)
