Hand-Made Villager Sculpture

[Harky]

Hey everyone! So I was lurking around the Interwebs and came across a tutorial for making your own clay gyroids. I finally got the materials necesary to make it, but first, I decided to make a sculpture of my smookums, Sheldon. <3

Spoiler

The base was made from a bottle cap.

I had tons of fun making this, and while it's practically my first clay figurine, I'll probably make some more in the future. If I do, I'll be sure to add them onto the OP post!

Bazinga!
That looks like a lot of fun. The dog will probably spill all my paint and eat the clay though.

WOW. That's amazing! Is it your first one you ever made?

Tell me about it! It did get rather messy as you can see in the pics above. Having a dog myself, I know just how ravenous they are for practically everything, edible or not. I made sure to keep him away from the project, fortunately.

Hehe, yep! It actually turned out better than I expected, I haven't had much luck with Air-dry clay in the past, to be honest.

Next time, though, I'll try my hand at using polymer instead. Thanks for the encouragement!
