These are the first ones I've tried, the pictures aren't very good, and the little bugger is not glazed yet.
The one I think is the best, he does have a bubble in one wing and I couldn't get his body to puff out.

Those look really cool....
ReplyDeleteAmazing. What size are they?
ReplyDeletethe large one is 5" wing span and tip to tail, the smallest color one is 2 1/4" wing span.The technique for blending the clay colors is new to me so it was an experiment in how to do that. I'm missing a ripple blade so what I got out of the experiment was a different result than the instructions I followed but I liked the result. So I decided to use it to make the cranes. The lady whose work has inspired me to give the cranes a try is Judy Dunn her work is HERE She makes some amazing "paper" to work her cranes.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I can see why they’re your new obsession. What kind of clay would you use for these?
ReplyDeletePolymer Clay, the colored ones here are a mix of Fimo polymer Clay colors.. But there are other polymer clay brands, the white birds are Scuply original. Scuply makes Scuply III, and Premo clay. And there is a newer brand out there called Kato Clay, by a gal named Donna Kato, who was the clay artist for (I think) Sculpy, and brnched off to start a new company. I think there is also Makins? but I've never seen it only heard of it. SculpyIII and Fimo are the most readily available.
ReplyDeleteThanks... I thouhght the coloured ones looked like Fimo but I couldn’t pinpoint the white ones. It’s been years since I’ve dabbled with clay... looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteIn my last lengthy post I retraced my Clay history.. its a media that has really boomed.. there are some fantastic Clay artists and they share a wealth of great info .. Unlike when I was first dabbling in it and there was no Internet for all, nor was there colored clays yet! If you are interested I'll forward a few sites I've found.
