My Polymer Clay Sculptures

[Mumbling]

Thanks!

Nicely done sculpture.  I like the glow in the dark parts.

This autumn Necklace I made for myself I'll have to get used to wearing a necklace again Hopefully this one will change with the seasons

[Pangaea]

Oh, cool! That's a beautiful leaf! I love the color, and the fact that it's not perfectly symmetrical gives it a look more like that of a dried autumn leaf (though perhaps that wasn't intentional ). And the detail of the veins on the leaf is spectacular! Is that a real stone in the center, and if yes, do you know what kind it is?

[Mumbling]

It wasn't intentional indeed, but I do like it better as well

The stone is actually a pebble from the card game called Magic the gathering, which my brothers play. I just stole one

[Kor]

That is a very nice looking sculpture.  Interesting to do one for each season.  Think you may do holiday themed ones also eventually?

[Pangaea]

What are you thinking of for the other seasons? It would be neat if you made a tree star necklace for spring or summer.

[Mumbling]

I'm not sure yet, actually! I was thinking of a treestar too


Maybe something like this for winter.

Anyway... Today I made two things.

[Pangaea]

Incidentally, I was thinking a snowflake would be good for winter as well. :! Maybe you could have a flower for spring and the tree star for summer.

Hmm…an anthropomorphized Christmas present and…I don’t know what the other one is (Another Neopet?). I’m really impressed by the ribbons on the present. Are these models really delicate once they’re finished?

Interesting design for winter, and cute sculptures you did.

They are both some kind of neopet, can't really explain They are from the same kind, painted different 'colors' (blue & christmas).

The clay that I work with stays a tiny bit bendable even if you have baked it, though if you throw it on the floor, parts that were pressed on there might fall of. In case of big things connected on small parts, they might break off earlier. In any case, the sculptures are all really strong and would only break if you'd let them drop or throw them on the floor (and even then, they wouldn't shatter to pieces but just lose for example: a wing), and you can fix them with hard plastic glue

Thanks Kor!

Jerry! It's a mascot of thedailyneopets.com (a site I work for/with), and my boss there requested me to make it

Wait…so these figures are painted? :blink: (Or am I somehow taking you too literally?) I thought that was just the color of the clay.

Wow! That's some good-quality clay! Can you tell me the brand? If I ever make any clay models, I'd like to use that kind.

Hmm…The new figure looks kinda like a parakeet crossed with a Charmander, wearing a wizard's robe and a witch's hat/romanticized-Viking helmet (and…are those ear flaps on the hat?). It looks good!

Yeah you are taking me too literally there. I was actually just explaining the concept of neopets. You can paint pets in different colors, but they will look entirely different (like the two above). The clay I use is indeed not painted

The brand I mainly use is Sculpey III. Other brans I've tried are Fimo and Premo, but you should really find something that suits you For me, Fimo is too soft to work with. I prefer Sculpey because it mushes up less fast, but of course it's also harder to kneed.

The hat is actually an item called 'Kauvara's Hat'. It's a hat from a magician, which is a cow... That's why the horns and the ear flaps are there, lol

Also , the dots light up in the dark. Forgot to mention that.

[Kor]

Nice sculpture.  Did it take you long to do?  I like the idea of some bits being glow in the dark.

Well, as I think I've said before, I know nothing about Neopets (other than what you've shown and told me in this thread).

Thanks! Now, do you bake figures made with this kind of clay or do they just harden by themselves?

Ooh. That reminds me, how did you take the photo of the manticore figure glowing in the dark? Did you just turn the flash on the camera off?

[Mumbling]

You bake them at 270 F (130C) for like 20 minutes. This can be done in any home oven, so that's a real nice feature of this clay.

I took the picture of the manticore indeed by closing my curtains, turn of the flash and make sure the glow in the dark pieces are charged well... and keeping my hands still so that they won't move

Thanks Kor! It took about an hour, with the clothes, and about 30 minutes without them.

A Little house



I also made the ladybugs which I pasted on this box. It's a match box which I decorated and in which I keep glass stones to be used for modelling sometime

[Kor]

Very nice looking, you've got a lot of skill.  Hope you continue, good luck.

[Mumbling]

Thank you Kor!
