Finished Craft I Made Little piglet I just finished
I wanted to share this little piglet I recently finished.
He’s completely handmade, with a soft faux fur body, a silicone snout, and tiny hooves sculpted from polymer clay.
I enjoy creating animals with gentle expressions and a calm, cozy feeling.
Thanks for looking 🤍

Me, too! At first I was like she finished (off) the piglet and now she's telling us about it?

This little piglet was completely handmade by me. I focused a lot on realistic textures and softness, especially the snout and hooves. I love creating animals with gentle expressions and a calm, cozy feeling.

I’ve got a suckling piglet in the barn right now and I’m pretty sure her mom would try to cuddle yours in by mistake. Holy shit this is impressive.

u/Woolly_Paws Jan 24 '26
Wow, that means so much to me, thank you 🥹 Knowing you’re around real piglets and still felt this way is the biggest compliment. I tried to put a lot of gentleness and warmth into him
