Sculptures

I absolutely love doing sculptures! Partly, I think, because this is not something I ever thought I could do. I like doing silly stuff, that isn't that realistic looking, but what is closest to my heart is doing realistic sculptures... well, I try.
Dragon! Finally, my first "realistic" dragon of my own design! Although there is a lot of things that need improvements, I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out. I didn't do scales, only textured the skin slightly.
The following witch and wizard are at a magic market, demonstrating their wares. They are the first human sculptures I made from polymer clay. I had got Maureen Carlson's book How to Make Clay Characters , and I just had to jump over all the projects in the beginning and go straight to the part where she describes how to sculpture realistic looking faces and do the heads for these.

Girl with milk and a cookie This girl is a project from Maureen Carlson's book. I gave her a bench to sit on, and a snack. Her girl is cute, my looks kind of scary. She is made from Cernit, which I have a bit of a hard time with as it gets very soft when warm and I have warm hands. Nowadays I use mostly Fimo, so I should probably make her a less scary looking twin sister.
Boids These birds are made from Dinko Tilov's tutorial on Polymer Clay Central. They are very easy and fun to do, and try to just make one!
Small dragon under a mushroom This dragon resting under a mushroom, is from a tutorial at Polymer Clay Express. The mushroom is of my own design, I think it turned out pretty well.
Troll doll This is a troll made from a tutorial at Polymer Clay Polyzine by Christel Jensen. The tutorial is three parts long, and describes very well how to make a doll - well worth checking out for anyone interested in doing dolls. I wanted to try to make a soft bodied doll, so my doll doesn't have any armature.
The following pictures are all projects from Katherine Dewey's book Creating Life-Like Animals in Polymer Clay. My animals are nowhere near the beautiful work that Katherine Dewey has in her book, but I'm still pretty pleased with my work. I'm amazed at every project when the animal, piece by piece, emerges.
