My aunt introduced me to Sculpey clay in 1999. It's a polymer-based, oven-baking clay that's perfect for building small figurines, of which I built dozens upon dozens. It gets stiff with age, but it doesn't dry out; the Sculpey I have on hand is around 12-14 years old!
In December, I got the sudden urge to make a figurine: I was aiming for a cat, but it turned into a kitty-dog.

Although I monitored kitty-dog's baking time, I ended up baking it
too long: singed ears, eyebrows, and nose - oops! |
The last figurines I'd sculpted? - Christmas tree ornaments from 2006. I sculpted the kitty-dog using some of the same clay mixtures I'd used on these two:

I have a maquette in the works (temporarily on hold) for one of
Brainsick's more devious characters. I'll post progress for her soon!
