Thank you! The clay is so fun to work with, I’m so glad I grabbed this starter kit. Here’s to many more little critters on the way!

Love the dog and capy @cmills, so stinking cute!!

And @lumpy those frogs are amazing!!

Since we’re sharing clay critters, here’s a sea turtle I made at work a while back. His shell scutes are pieces of sea shell. (I’m almost ashamed to share him, he’s pretty goofy compared to the beautiful work of others.) When I was baking him, another creation in the oven started smoking and set off the smoke alarm and my entire workplace had to evacuate. :joy:

You’ve got me inspired to try making a dart frog before I leave for my conference!
My defense was today, maybe some clay frogs is just what I need to calm down and relax :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

They are so relaxing to make….i find it very satisfying to look at the picture and try to remake it in my mind and see how close I can get

A sheet of theropod busts for shape practice! I’d love to promise another version plus some herbivore sheets, but my motivation is all over the place right now.

Love the decisions on the animal pairings!

Spinosaurs are so cool but I feel like it’s now some new discovery changes them every 2 years. Lol

Really like the bearded vulture/dilo combo.

I should draw a dino again someday. They’re something I only doodle every few years lately I feel like. Usually it’s more dragon stuff for me over the years from commission requests

Here’s a drawing i did of Dratini! I’m debating whether the one with flowers or without flowers is better :thinking:

I prefer the one with flowers, but I can’t explain why. Love it! :slight_smile:
