Not quite a model...

Jonas you're always so very supportive.

Are you trying to wear me down on the international shipping?

No I'm not trying that
I just like to see people doing what they like to do. Your work is just somehow so cute

Great horse head and I keep finding your tapir a figure with a lot of character. Chap Mei won't be able of doing it better.
I really love it!

Aww, thanks Roger, Anna, Agata.


(I'm teasing Jonas.)

It's about 1 3/8 inches high x 2 inches long x 1/2 inch wide.  Or about... 3.5 cm high x 5 cm long x 1.3 cm wide

Just for the record though, I'm done with horses after this random challenge to myself. I also have a newfound appreciation for those who sculpt beautiful horses. Still not going to collect them though.

They are so cute!!! You have been very busy It is awesome to see how your work progresses
And your horse can stand up!
Mine wouldn't

Alas, I was going for menacing. Kidding.

I admit it, I took metal from some twisty ties from the grocers I had on hand and used that for the legs. Otherwise wouldn't work well with toothpicks with that pose and scale or lack thereof.

I bet you'd make an adorable lying down horse if you don't find your own work around for the standing up part. I was tempted to use metal paperclips but they seem to have disappeared from the house.

Haha aww =D You keep posting cute animals that you made This one is so adorable that I could eat it

I really like this model! It's like a chubby pony And look how much you have improved in a short space of time too

Thanks Abby.

And now, I'm quite proud to tell you I am finished with the regular Sculpey and have no plans to get more. It's quite irritating to work with. Gummy. blah.

I wish I had so much energy like you seem to have... Like a new model everyday
Another lovely there ü

Thanks Jonas, though I was just trying to use up the rest of the clay since it's location was bothering the lady of the house. :) I just need to touch up the horse head and bake it and I'll be all done!

When I have some clay to be used fast I always make tiny, silly faces of it, which I send for those poor ones who've decide to buy a custom from me
Yay! Hope you'll share photos of her then

An unfortunate incident may have caused the head to ... break apart. I'm going to try to remake and hope it doesn't look like a monster the second time round.

Damn! That must be annoying... Best of luck trying to fix it

Your works are lovely, I think you need to be only more faithful!
Keep the good job, Laura!

Bah humbug. Anyhow, I think that I'm done. Just need to let it sit and look over once more before baking it a little later.

Any horribly awful things that won't take too much time/effort to change? (too much more time on this will make me throw into the trash in frustration. This is the remake after I accidentally broke the first one in several places while trying to fix it up a little.

This is looking better than the last one Look how happy she is
I can't really give any help bcos I don't know how this kind of clay reacts to different things.. I use brush and scrape down the areas that I wanna be smoother. Can you try that?

Morgan? Charming!

Okay, so I am now officially banned by all family members over the age of 4 from making any more horses for a long while... apparently I get really grouchy and nitpicky. So I give you the final iteration of the horse head. I am done. Fini. It's still not right, but I'm not going to keep driving myself crazy. Also ended up somehow picking up random fibers.

Great! So much better I see you really know what does a horse head look. For example in the front photo she/he's is very nice

I love the fox Laura

Thanks Jonas. We went out to visit a farm briefly and my son got to sit on a horse. (I got lost to the church bonfire gathering, and they'd put the horse away already, but a beautiful young lady heard that my son was disappointed that he wasn't able to ride a horse, and got him back out so my son could at least sit on him... and feed him some hay.) Beautiful creature he was. I had to harden my resolve not to get into collecting horses. Now I just want a real horse for Christmas.

Thank you, Christophe.

I may try painting the horse head and fox, but I'm not certain I'm quite that brave.



update:
Well, the cat and peacock have gone to home that has promised pictures when they get around to painting them. The wombat arrived safely at its destination. The one somewhat resembling a pony has found a new home. And the rest have been claimed by my son.

Aw how nice! Now I remember my very first time on horse back... Just a small shetlander and I felt like I'm the best rider in this world
I know when you see a gerbil on a video you immediately wanna have a couple! Haha I'd not mind getting a pony for xmas either...

So I got the cheapest acrylics I could... I should've just paid 50-cents a bottle instead... the white and brown were dried out... oh well... Yeah, I'm not sure I'm really a painter...

Here ya go...[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
