Handmade Potto

One of my alltime favorite animals was sadly not in my collection until i made him out of clay. Incase you dont know he is a potto. which is an African animal related to lemurs and bushbabies. I know that playvisions made a potto but it is now impossible to obtain. so here he is:

thank you Kelsey! i know the potto is cute thats why it is one of my favorites.

Lance, that is a very nice work and an excelent idea.
It is good to some brands remember that if they want to make really cute animals they don't have to waste their time making cute grizzlies, crocodilies, etc. There are many interesting animals in this world that are naturally cute and would be very interesting to children and adulte collectors. Thanks for sharing your great work and photos.

He's very good Lance! Such a cute species, great choice

Again a very good idea Lance (o)):

Could you show a pic of all your Homemade models please ?

cute! and good work with the branch, it was absolutely necessary in this model. whisch size have you sculped it?

I absolutely love him

A Potto ! At first I thought you couldn`t spell to Photo ( ) becaus I never heard about this little, lovely critter before !

The way you make him is the ultimate charming way !
Keep this going, I hope you have a whole Lance-design Noah`s arc with REALLY rare animals some day

thank you Harriet, Christophe, Joan, and Susanne! I will try to post pics of all my handmade clay models. i have to say that this potto is one of my favorite clay models i have made. he is not to a particular scale and is large compared to typical schleich models. and yes i will continue to make rare animals in the future.

A very interesting specie

What great looking animals! And it's so good to see the potto finally getting some recognition! Very nice work!

Tamandua and sloth are my favourites :) nice handmade collection

that potto is tooooo cute!

you have a great folk-art style. they look like they could be traditional native representations of characters out of old folk tales.
"Grandpa, tell us again how Taramandua and Sloth tricked Weasel!" "no, i want to hear about how Musk Ox!"
