                                                  I am not prepared! I must get ready, I must paint my nails!
Oh, it is only detail....
                                                  
                                                  But only one photo!
Three!

                                                  No, only one.
So two?!

                                                  Eh, ok...

Terrific!

Kitty,Kitty, please we want to see more of you

Awesome work! I could just smell the clay by looking at your photos. Did you make this with a particular species in mind?

Beautiful done job Karolina
Come on Kitty, Kosta want one too

Very nice model!

Awesome work! Pokud se Ti podaří udělat kopie tak si chci zamluvit jednu. Je úžasný!

Beautiful amazing sculpture! What a wonderful depiction of Smilodon! It looks alive! Especially on the night photo, what a great scenery It must be the best model of smilodon I have ever seen

I also think like that :) And I`m amazed from Karolina`s work on this model
And I realy hope, that becouse me and other people like Kiki and Karin, we want to have a coppy of this model... Karolina doesn`t take that as
pushing her. :) Please Karolina don`t take it in this way

Your smilodon is really fantastic, Karolina! It reminds me of some of the paintings by Charles R. Knight. Are the Papo big cats you show next to yours also 1:15? I'm sorry I don't know.

Thanks so much for posting pictures here! It's great to see your work!

Many many thaks!!! 

I really appreciate you like it   If you are asking about copies - of course I want to do them   but that material for it is little expensive so I think it will be my christmas gift from my mum. But I´ve got one idea, I want to tell her if she want to give me that gift a few weeks before christmas and i will have time to make coppies and send them as christmas gifts   Although I am very scared from molds, I don´t know exactly how to do it and how it works. And If it the mold will work, I will make only a few copies. I don´t know how many I can do from 860 g. I think abot 3-5 coppies.   But if it all will work (as I hope) one coppy will be about 15 or 20 euro + shipping.

Please, can you tell me what material (name) do you use for molds and coppies? I have lot of possibilities.   Thank you

Kosta is right, don't see it pushing, we wouldn't dare!
It is a big, big compliment if people want the model if it is still in the beginning stage

Those photos I can hear her calling her young already
Very smooth color, I love her pose and face!

Absolutely beautiful Smilodon.

Please please make some copies.
Would love to have one :)

Bravo Karolina, it looks fabulous! Big congrats, sculpting and painting
are very good! Veľmi sa ti to podarilo, si šikulka, len tak ďalej!

I`m shure, that some people can give you a good advice about the material for casting.
I`m sorry I can`t help, becouse I don`t have any experience with this material.
But I will be very happy if you have a success with the copies and you count me for one of them

Woow I would be tempted by one copy. I wish to have the same felling for sculpting like you :)
This slilodon is just amazing

Bravo! This is the work of a master.

I hope you are able to figure out the casting procedure; not just for this model at this time, but you may be able to do quite well for yourself in the future selling figures of this quality! Are you interested in casting in PVC or in resin? I've seen casting kits in a few US art suppliers that I think use resin; I can give an address or 2 of artists in the US also who may be willing to help talk you through the procedure. I know one of them helped the second get her business started.
