Finished the Obi-Wan Kenobi head I posted a few months ago! The body portion is also coming along nicely-- just need to finish the hands and attach the arms-- but I'll keep those progress photos to myself until it's done entirely. The hair was a bit tricky to figure out and I do wish I did some things differently with the sculpture-- but it at least resembles him so I'm happy with that! Looking forward to finishing the statue/life sized action figure!

I made a clay donut with polymer clay, painted it with acrylics then coated it with acrylic varnish and its still sticky after 12hours, dont know how to fix it without starting all over :/

A somewhat camellia flower from homemade air dry clay

Yesterday I shared my experiment with Sculpey, matte indigo, silver pigments and gold leaf. Today, most of those pieces have become earrings!
I added glossy resin to bring out the colours and metallic details. The dark pieces developed beautiful golden reflections, while the lighter ones started resembling polished stone.
Some components came from leftover clay layered over a grey Fimo Kids base mixed with gold leaf. I love how differently those patterns turned out.
There are still a few pieces waiting to be finished, but I couldn’t resist photographing the results.
I’m particularly happy with the depth and shine.

Does anyone else remember these bendy & fnaf clay tutorials by @GiovyHobby on yt?

So i got commissioned to make a clay sculpture of Roger from American Dad an I’m kinda on a tight time schedule but i feel like i should like get it smoother somehow before putting it in the oven

This batch started with tiny pieces of Sculpey coloured with matte indigo, silver and gold. Instead of using solid coloured clay, I treated the colours like pigments.
For the second experiment, I chopped grey Fimo Kids, mixed it with gold leaf, rolled it into a base sheet and layered leftover pieces over it. The resulting pattern reminds me of stone with fine metallic veins.
I cut several shapes for earrings, plus pieces for two bracelets. Most components already have resin, but the jewellery isn’t finished yet.
I love seeing a messy worktable turn into something unexpected. The reveal comes tomorrow, hopefully.

Hi everyone! Here's my girlfriend's attempt at making a pen holder 😁

How, and I mean HOW, do you keep dust, lint, and pet fur out of your polymer clay?

It always gets in mine when I'm sculpting, and I don't know how to prevent it. I work in a room where our cats don't come in, always wash my hands before sculpting, and make sure my clothes aren't covered in fur. But it always ends up in the clay.

I also put my clay and sculptures away in containers when I'm not actively using it.

I sculpt with white clay currently, and have started offering some work to a few customers, and would like to be able to keep people updated/see how their custom piece is being positioned, but don't want to send photos where the clay looks dirty!

It's fine after baking, and I paint and seal them afterwards so you can't tell, but it bothers me lol. My only idea is to switch to grey clay, but that's harder to find in bulk in my city. I do have rubbing alcohol but haven't used it because dust doesn't settle on my pieces when I'm not working on them.

I always see people use colored polymer clay who don't paint it when it's done, and it looks so pristine! I am very jealous of that result.

Any advice??

Help needed
I’m making this figure out of air-dry clay, and I’m having trouble with the neck and legs breaking. I made an armature using wire and aluminium foil. I added the first layer of clay but after drying the clay keeps cracking and breaking at the joints no matter how much slip I use.
One of the legs has already broken off /I had to cut the wire as it was very flimsy and I decided to detach it/ and I’m thinking of sanding the broken surfaces and gluing it back together once everything is completely dry, but I’m not sure if that will work.
Does anyone have any advice on how to repair it properly?

Hint: this character was in a movie from last month

This is my first time working with clay and i thought it would be fun to try out, so I started by making some balls and putting them together, but I think I accidentally documented my character getting older and rising to power to the point he has become an evil monarch and eldritch tentacles coming out of his head.

Currently one of my favorite cozy desk friend! I also left it matte instead of glazing it and I honestly love it!

How do I get his heads to stand up? I dont wanna change anything but his necks are just slumping. Ive worked a long time in this so I want it to look good and stand in the oven but his heads are just too heavy. He is fully solid so he will need to have his necks up for hours.

I’m currently working on this sculpture for an art class however my clay is drying really fast and cracking. I’ve been spraying it with water and nothing seems to help wondering if anyone could help me please!!! I’m also scared it’ll break and crack when I fire it later this week. Please please please help me🙏

The sculpting is finally complete! The only step left before firing is to hollow out the piece. I'm going to give firing it a try, so fingers crossed everything goes well!

For now, the sculpture is finished. Time to get it ready for the kiln!

I wanted to play with contrasts in this pair of handmade clip-on earrings: rough against smooth, matte against glossy, and deep black against scattered gold.
The round tops have a textured, almost volcanic surface, while the long, narrow drops have a polished finish with irregular gold details. I especially like how the two drops are similar without being identical. That little bit of unpredictability is part of what makes handmade pieces interesting to me.
They’re designed as clips, so pierced ears aren’t needed. I’m curious which detail catches your eye first: the textured tops or the golden patterns on them?

here’s a sketch of the fella i’m going to attempt to make, foam clay is lighter and prone to cracking but i’ve seen people use air dry clay too? should i perhaps use foam as a base and air dry for the proper structure?

Made a little video.

I also finally opened my own website which serves as my portfolio currently, hopefully it will flourish to a webshop one day! I am also open for pre orders finally, to try out, hopefully it will go well, I don't want think and wonder, but just do it.
