I Got Some New Clay

in General

I got this clay from a company named Claydoll. I like that it dries lightweight and it is an air dry clay. The clay dries into in interesting almost foam like consistency.

I made some little creatures to test it out.

I put jacks in them so they can be popped into the jack of a phone and be displayed there as little pets. :)

This is a little coal friend on a fireplace.

This is a little storm cloud friend.

I'm going to keep working with the clay to see if I can make other stuff with it as well. :)

    Nice start.

    Keep it up and start selling your creations on Etsy. :)

    The lump of coal on the fire is clever. If you live up north you can clip him into your phone and he'll keep ya warm :p

    I remember working with clay once in art class when we were exploring different mediums. I tried to make Gumby but it just ended up an amorphous blob with a random face floating in it. Haha

    Side note: working with clay is actually REALLY good for your skin. Exfoliates, moistens, softens. Just make sure don't have any open cuts, it gets in there, it'll sting like the dickens.

    Oh, also if and when you fire or bake your masterpiece, remember to leave a dime-sized hole in the base of it for heat to escape otherwise the clay will explode like a pressure cooker then ya got start over again.

    @chococuddles Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging words. I'm definitely going to make more little creatures fir sure. :)

    @White_Knight I heard that working with clay is good for your skin as well. That's definitely a bonus.

    Thank you for the tip about putting a hole in the base. I will keep that in mind as I make more things with clay. :)

    I like playing with clay sometimes too ... this is my favourite one so far:

    @respectful I like the design. :) Did you use Polymer clay or a different type?

  • respectfulrespectful

    @MoonlightSonata Thanks! Yep, it's a polymer clay. Here's one more:

    I like that one too. You just have to make some fairies and you will have some pieces for a fairy garden. :)
