Looking back at all of these together makes me realise how much I actually made! Some were custom orders, some were random ideas, and some were just me experimenting.

Which one is your favourite? 👀 what should I make more of next month?

My friends help me with the shoots this is why you see multiple hands/nails 😸

I lost my soul dog and need to preserve his paw shape!

I loved to hold his paw when I was falling asleep, and I’ve been using this bandage as a substitute. But the bandage brings back bad memories and I expect that I will lose the shape soon.

I’m a big crafter but I can’t decide the best way to preserve the shape. I don’t need to preserve the bandage or gauze.

To the extent that this matters, we got his paw print but not a clay print. I’m hoping for anything that would allow me to keep the shape of his paw, not the appearance of it.

Strange thing is the black paint came out brown (not that it matters).

This was the first time I gave clay a good crack and I became a bit obsessed.

I ordered some tools to finish this off after starting with some pretty poor plastic tools that I had. The suckers dried quite quickly while I was waiting for the tools to arrive and my fingers weren't quite cutting it. So I'm a little disappointed with how they turned out, but I know for next time!

Those balls on sticks are incredible! I could sit there for hours barely breathing trying to smooth the surface using those tools!

Its now to dry to continue and its still a bit rough round the edges, but i learnt a lot and can't wait to create another one!

Also, I had to make this while sitting and lying on the floor in my lounge, which made it difficult to reach some places (carving and smoothing while upside down was new to me) I thought a Lazy-Susan could help.

I love this medium!

Im considering them prototypes for when i buy DAS air dry clay soon.
