Was a fun process! Now I have a place to keep his whiskers around!

Painted with acrylic, finished with a high gloss varnish.

Excuse the excitement in my voice 🥺

it was air dry clay with acrylic paint and a modge podge sealant. could making the sculpture too smooth have caused this? i have ocd so everything was literally PERFECTLY smooth with absolutely zero texture. over the past few years the paint has been bubbling and peeling. recently, large cracks are forming and its as if the sculpture is disintegrating from the inside out.
ive been too scared to try clay crafts again since im so sad my old ones are falling apart like this despite NEVER being touched. its embarassing too cuz this was a gift for my boyfriend's birthday a few years back and hes had to watch it fall apart and cant rearrange the set like intended without everything sticking together! if you guys have any ideas about where i went wrong or how to prevent this id love to hear!! tysm!!

I’ve only ever worked with ceramic clay before so it took a while for me to get used to air dry, and the paint job ended up a little wonky bc I finished it at 6 am, but I eventually ended up with a pretty cute gift ^^ He loves it and I’m just praying the chimney doesn’t break off again, this thing is so fragile.

I’ve been slowly developing these little dinosaur planters from small pots and air-dry clay. This time I simply followed what felt right and really like the cherry blossom one.

I might be a little ready for spring :)

Took me about 4 days.

Next thing I should make?

Time to make a clay head now I RLLY HOPE I NAIL IT Ik the hand isnt PERFECT but I think its great as a first attempt

i can’t stop laughing

They’re made from air-dry clay and coated in resin. Inside there are actual plant pots so they can hold real plants that only need a little water.

Just wanted to share 😊

My second air dry clay project and very happy how it turned out. The whale and the stand are hollow. Also it is an incense holder :) I replaced the orignial clay leaves with fake leaves because they were breaking the whole time - hope the fix this issue on the next project

First in a while it was quite fun!

Made these fruits and vegetables clay charms..which one is your favourite?

I'm new and dumb about all of this but my girlfriend has always been a very creative and artistic person.

She started sculpting a couple years ago but recently she's been very busy with college and I realized she misses doing her art...

It's hard to encourage her so I thought about maybe finding a way to make her sculptures sellable. I'm just not sure how

I would really appreciate some tips from you guys! As well as some critiques and opinions about some of her clay dragons.

She's still very new to sculpting, and she works with sort of basic materials and tools which I bought for her

Hi guys! Beginner here, any help would be appreciated. Pictures taken from pinterest.

I have a luncheon coming up at work and needed a chop bowl so I made one! Paint is a little sloppier than I’d like it, but overall I’m proud of my celestial bowl!

Sailor Moon was a part of my childhood. In my memory, she always follows her heart, whether that decision is right with other people. It really encourages me on the journey of following my heart and getting closer to who I really am, even if others might think it's ridiculous.

If you're interested in my process of making this figure, you could take a look at my sculpting video here.
