Christmas clay

9 November 2009

During our holiday in Wales, it rained a lot. I bought a stack of coloured polymer clay to entertain myself and I had a fantastic time making little figurines for our Christmas tree this year. I then baked them at 100c for 30 minutes to harden them.

My first attempt was a hedgehog.

Pleased with my initial success, I tried my hand on a bunch of dog dogs.

Then, I tried a making sMuks and sMagic…

Again, feeling rather pleased with the results, I ventured onto further dog dogs… dog dogs camping, dog dogs snuggled in a duvet, yellow dog dog prodding red dog dog with a stalk of brussel sprouts and dog dogs playing hide and seek in a heap of potatoes.

Then, there was the introduction of the rabbits- the rabbit after the snowman’s nose, the rabbit receiving a basket of carrots and the rabbit who binged on carrots.

Lastly, I made the Christmas dinner, the Christmas ham, the bacon and apple wreath and the sausage, sage and onion wreath and a bucket of fried chicken.

I still have quite a bit of the polymer clay left and a suspicion that the other characters of the sMitch saga will make an appearance in a not too distant future.

    Hahaha… at last! I’m surprised there’s not more dogdogs.

    Please try peas in a pod. Mini sMapps laughed when he saw your clay decorations. I asked what he thought and he said he likes your chocolate decorations (Smarties) most.

    Make a big Dog Dog for the top of the tree – can put a halo and wings on him. Hehehe. Can’t wait to see your tree this year.

    For hanging on the tree or a just a figurine?

    Mini one for the tree. Any spare clay – slightly less mini one for decoration. Pandas!
