I Sculpt Strange Animals

Throughout my years of sculpting with polymer clay, I've noticed a funny trend at my craft desk. I often end up creating tiny animals, especially paying attention to animals that may not typically be considered "cute". Everyone adores a nice fuzzy bear, or a kitty cat or a bunny. But a friend recently told me her favorite animal was the platypus, and I was inspired...



Something I made for myself long ago and continue to incorporate into my outfit when I'm feeling silly is this little opossum pendant.



After watching a program about the depths of the ocean one night, I decided to sculpt a little angler fish charm. The lure hanging in front of him glows in the dark!



And most recently, I noticed that the cupcake thief and the cookie thief I made have become friends.



I'm always on the lookout for fun new challenges. What's your favorite animal? What strange little critter should I attempt next?
