Polymer Clay Fox

Hi readers! The last few times you heard from me, I did a few watercolor and oil pastel pieces. I decided, though, to mix things up and do a polymer clay project this time! I have sculpted an adorable baby fox for you to see, and I hope you like it! During the process of creating this, I came across a few difficulties, such as the shape of the head. In the end, I decided to put a hemisphere shape and a wide triangular prism together, using a thin strip of the same clay to conceal the area where the two shapes met. I also had trouble making the ends of the white fur look jagged and realistic. All it took was plenty of trial and error. I had to attach the head and tail with small wires, use a blade to shape the bits of white fur, and use a ball stylus tool (see my post A Perfect Pair for more info) to create streaks in it. All in all, I’m satisfied with the outcome of my work. See you in the next post!
