Returning to Childhood JOY✨Sculpting a Rain Frog in POLYMER CLAY as an epoxy putty alternative
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- I used to sculpt animals in polymer clay as a child all the time and it’s been many years since. Recently, I’ve been on a quest to find an alternative to epoxy putty for sculpting animals, so please join me in my return to polymer clay as an adult while I create a semi-realistic rain frog (the ever-frowning and very round Breviceps) in Sculpey polymer clay from start to finish.
✨ IN THIS VIDEO I SHARE:
○ How I build an armature & apply the Sculpey clay
○ My thoughts on how sculpting with polymer clay vs sculpting epoxy putty (Milliput, Aves, Magic Sculpt, etc) compares
○ My multi-stage bakes, with times & temperatures
○ How I make realistic & semi-realistic sculpting projects easier with the ‘shapes & blocking’ method
○ A tip for perfect eyes on a sculpted model animal
I publish videos once a month sharing my adventures in creating horse and animal art in my free time for my own enjoyment, like sculpture, painting, printmaking and more. If you enjoy watching the adventures of an artist making things by hand, and sometimes learning something new, I’d love to show you what I make next!

You're delightful! I love seeing polymer clay from the POV of someone who normally works in a different medium. I find that so informative. And the frog... SO CUTE!
Aww, thank you! And yeah, it was fun to try it again after so many years and see how it compared to my other clays!
SOOOOO cuteeeeeeeeee
Aww it’s so cute and chunky your sculpting videos are the best
Aww, thank you! I’m looking forward to trying more like him 😊
Oh I love this little grumpy guy! He has so much personality, and you did such a wonderful job making him realistic.
Awww, thank you so much! 🥹 As my first non-horse sculpture on this channel, I’m happy to hear that!
This is so cool! I have a TON of polymer clay somewhere, as I used to make jewelry with it back in the day. Watching this made me wanna go and play with it again. :)
Awwww, you should!!! That would be so cool to see what you make now given your landscape art experience
I love your sculpture 😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊😊❤❤😊
Dawwww, thank you! 🥹
This grumpy little plump has my whole heart! I really loved the video, so many great tricks like the steel ball bearings! I'll have to give that one a try, I usually make eyes from clay but squish them in the process 😆 This was so well done and I can't wait to see more!
Awww, thank you! And yeah, I’m always squishing things. I’m surprised his little toes survived intact 😂
Ohhh he's sooo adorable ❤
Thank you! I think he’s my favorite sculpture right now
@@CreativeKristenTaylor I'm a frog fanatic also lol
May I ask what you used for the eyes? So beautiful!
Thank you! And those are stainless steel ball bearings
I need one 😭🥹🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
How lovely can I ask what inspired you to try a frog.??
Thank you! And I’d say it was a lifelong passion for animals and realizing, after finishing my fjord sculpture, that hey! I can sculpt! And thus I wanted to see what else I could make now. Why not one of these adorably grumpy frogs? 😆
Love these longer videos, so cool to see the process!
Thats a Toad, not a Frog :)
It is a breviceps rainforest frog. It does look a bit toad-like, and partly why I love it! :D Check them out, they’re adorable: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breviceps
Crazy, its looks almost like a Toad. Thanks for the Input! Edit: jeez, those are walking like toads instead of hopping. Thats crazy.
