So for my Polymer Clay Workshop this week, we got some more practice sculpting animals, specifically rodents. I definitely still have a lot to learn about sculpting and making creatures out of clay. It’s still hard for me to get the clay to look how I envision it in my head. I really like this little mouse I made though.
This picture above is before baking and painting details.
After baking, sanding & polishing, and painting. Little fingers and toes are hard to make! I tried to give it a red tongue, but it looks a bit more like lipstick. Oh well!
The real rodent in the pictures is my rat, Volta. It’s nearly impossible to get my rats to stop moving long enough to get pictures, so she had to be bribed with wheat thins, as you can see in the picture!

Volta and Tesla! I love these little creatures.
