Feat of Clay: Run A-Monk

Although my polymer clay projects never seem to turn out the way I’d like them to they still leave me with a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment. Sculpey is not a cooperative friend but a devious foe that must be relentlessly toiled with lest it turn into a misshapen mass covered in fingerprints. To win the battle (or at least survive it) is the root of the addiction, I’m sure.

My latest creation is this little Buddhist monk figurine.


A wee monk he is at 1 3/4 inches tall, child-like and all wrong in proportion but happy nonetheless. And I’m happily victorious, for now.
