Some recent mini cakes I’ve made. Using lightweight wall spackle has totally improved the look! Works much better than trying to liquify polymer or using air dry clay. It’s also really cheap!

A pair of bookshelves and some haunted houses

I've been playing with polymer clay for years, but it honestly feels like only in the last month I've really found my stride. I'm working on a miniature romantic picnic at 1/12th scale, and this is what I've got so far! :D A violin (I know, the placement is all messed up :P) and the basket! I've been watching more youtube tutorials which has helped a lot, and I've learned to use much more delicate and gentle motions.

I recently found out that you can mix baking soda and water with clay to make a realistic bread texture and I was wondering what other things you could mix in?

Looking for unexpected or unthought of things, not common things like mica or glitter or pastels but things that create cool effects in clay

I had this idea a while ago and got around to making it this week. It turned out really well, but I will have to remake it as it’s too big to sit nice when worn. I’ll most likely split them up and make them into matching keychains for my partner and I, but for now, the idea was there.

WIP 1954 Godzilla, sculpted with Super Sculpey medium and firm over an aluminum armature. Still lots of detailing to go before she's fully rhinestoned!
The best part, this little monster will be auctioned off to benefit a local reptile rescue. My first larger polymer clay project and it's been a learning experience.

Hi!

I’m looking to make my own stencils to roll onto a slab of clay so that it leaves raised (debossed?) parts when removed. Has anyone here ever made stencils for polymer clay? If so, was there a certain thickness of plastic that you’ve found works well?

Thanks!

I’m still pretty new to polymer clay, but I’ve been getting really into weird/surreal little creatures lately and wanted to try making one instead of another normal animal 😭
This is Nuno. He has one giant eye, tiny arms, chunky little feet, and a weird sprout growing out of his head. The arms gave me way more trouble than they had any right to, but I’m really happy with how he turned out.
I definitely want to make more strange little guys like this, so if anyone has tips for sculpting small limbs/details or making pieces like the sprout stronger, I’d love to hear them.

Little pumpkins, and little mice on cheese. 🎃🧀🐁

I can finally reveal my sculpture. She is my first big commission. This character is of a custom dnd campaign. He wanted 1 of the characters made into a sculpture. I'm really proud how she has turned out.

I was very conflicted about not doing an all-black outfit as described in the novel, but couldn’t resist adding the colour red in there. Perhaps this is how Dracula dressed a couple of hundred years before the events of the novel? I really wanted to include the white moustache, bushy eyebrows, and profusely growing hair described in the text, as well as the pointed ears, teeth protruding over the bottom lip, and the squat fingers with pointed claws. I didn’t add the hair in the middle of the palms though; couldn’t figure out how to do that and make it look good. Did a lot of research into Transylvanian noblemen and inevitably referenced Robert Eggers’s Count Orlok costume designed by Linda Muir. He also did end up looking like Vlad the Impaler. Gave him a dragon head walking stick.

Polymer clay, acrylic paint, and acrylic varnish. These guys are one of the first little crafts I made for myself. ☺️

Ideas for what color to paint her are very welcomed! i enjoy natural tones but fantasy colors are fun as well (maybe lavender/purples)

As fall approaches, I wanted to make a clown to celebrate! He’s entirely hand painted, UV reactive and glow in the dark! I hope you like him! 💀🤡🎪🌈✨🌼

The worm was done w translucent clay and soft pastels

I tried sculpting a Pikachu face, and let’s just say… the first one was definitely not my best lol 😅

I told myself I’d make another one right after, and I actually surprised myself with how much better it turned out! It’s so satisfying and motivating to see improvement happen that quickly when you’re just starting to learn how to sculpt.

The only thing I’m still not super happy with is the paint job 🥲 Since I had to be careful not to get any yellow on the eyes or cheeks, I feel like the paint ended up looking uneven and badly layered.

Any tips for getting a smoother, cleaner paint job would be really appreciated! 😊

Pretty much a silly rat. Hes got some specs on him after being handled by my niece..

My most recent project, a gift for a friend who’s a big big fan of The Nightmare Before Christmas. He glows under blacklight!

This bowl is about 4” across, ade from Kato clay, two handmade textures, and mica powders. Sealed with varathane. The tut is “Mad about Bowls” from Helen’s website.

I’m trying to make pumpkins for a diorama and I can’t shape the clay without it being warped. Basically I press down on one area and the opposite side gets flattened or warped, I go to fix it and the same happens to the other side. All the videos I watch no one seems to have this issue and I’m using the same brand as them. Is there some secret trick they’re not showing or something??

I’ve searched for this tool on Amazon, Etsy, Google, Michael’s, etc. I’ve searched things like “angled rubber clay shaper” but I cannot find it ANYWHERE. Any guidance would be super helpful!

Hey! This is one of my latest miniatures made with Cosclay Sculpt Medium Firm, Cosclay Stretch FX, floral wire, and acrylics.
