Heyloo!
I make miniature sculptures with coloured polymer clay. I would very much like some constructive criticism as I have no other arty contacts. I am self taught, and people often ask how I make the sculptures- I use my fingers and toothpicks. That is all there is to it! Thankyou for coming, please post and please feel free to PM me.

Oh wow, those are incredible! Most people I know start out with quite small clay things, but I haven't seen many as detailed and tiny as these. I really love Gadol smile Critique wise I suppose you could say some of the minatures are a bit lopsided, but that does add to their charm in a way so perhaps that was intentional.

Really impressed with your photography too, very nice work.

I'm sorry I forgot to say, the photography is my sister's! She is very good at photography and I couldn't take decent photos with anything but her really good DSLR, which she guards with her life, so there was no chance of me taking one. She really likes doing stuff like this but that is also why not all of my faves got photographed- she only has so much patience XD
Thankyou for the compliments smile They make me feel warm and fuzzy inside 3nodding and the critique, it doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy inside but hopefully it will improve my future work xd I didn't mean to make them lopsided (well, in some cases such as the sheep's cocked head I did) but they're so tiny that I can't really help it. (As it happens, I didn't like these photos at first because they pick up way more then I can see. There is stuff I didn't even notice!) And I think it adds to them being them. I have a thing about that- they each have a little red clay heart deep inside them biggrin
As of getting bigger, you can see how tiny the stuff is, and it's because I simply have an inbuilt style of tininess. It's just how I do stuff.

Awwe Miz these are so adorable! I had been wondering if you made the bear in your signature or not. I think my cats would eat mine if I attempted anything that teeny! hehe

Heh, and they probably wouldn't notice that they'd eaten them either! You should try though, it's really fun and I love being fiddly with my fingers.

I just posted on your profile, asking if you made that teddy bear... now I see that you have other tiny and adorable creatures. You are really good.

Cute stuff! :3
This is surprisingly like things I did/would have done a few years ago. xD Probably still would. I love doing tiny cute things, I guess you do too.

My favourite is the teddy.
