Slow progress on my procrastination project. I may have remade this little face more than a few times πŸ˜† It's the eyes... I have a fae-like character in my head, similar a house brownie, so went with the dark eyes... not sure it works. #polymerclay #sculpture #cosclay #clayart

Before I try catch up on my dragon I felt like sculpting a little face... I'd quite like to try exaggerating the features, huge nose, pillowy cheeks - just play and see what comes of it. #polymerclay #sculpture #sculptureart #workinprogress #cosclay #ilovecosclay #claysculpture #clayart

Happy Belated New Year to everyone - I hope 2025 brings much kindness and love to you all. Having hit a rut with my scales I decided to take a little break over the holidays , I also had two little visitors who love to play with the monster clay I use for practice. #polymerclay #sculpture

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year πŸŽ„

Experimenting with more tools and more scales... now wondering if the original ones looked better... might have another go at them πŸ™ˆ Hope everyone is all set for Christmas πŸŽ„ I hurt my back a few weeks ago so still have all the wrapping to do... wish me luck! #polymerclay #sculpture

I want to say thank you to everyone following me, for the lovely comments and support. I am so incredibly indecisive and the username Mel Soren Art hasn't clicked for me. So I have changed it to The Wistful Fox, I hope you'll stick around, the support genuinely means the world to me 😊

Finished the scales and not sure I like it. It's just... off? Too uniform? Not quite the right shape? More experimentation to follow I think. #polymerclay #polymerclayart #sculpture #sculptureart #sculptingclass #workinprogress #dragon #scales #cosclay #claysculpture #claysculpting #clayart

Kept the texture light on the horns, it has *nothing* at all to do with continually messing up the rings on the horns, at all πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ I can't decide whether to add the bevel or not. #polymerclay #polymerclayart #sculpture #sculptureart #sculptingclass #dragon #cosclay #claysculpture #artprocess

Something felt a bit off with the 'floating' scale plates on the horns so began experimenting, can't tell if this just makes them look like they are growths or not πŸ˜† #polymerclay #polymerclayart #sculpture #sculptureart #sculptingclass #dragon #cosclay #claysculpture #claysculpting #clayart

Trying to make texture/decorate the horns to give them more embellishment, ended up with a World of Warcraft vibe to them 🐲 #polymerclay #polymerclayart #sculpture #sculptureart #sculptingclass #workinprogress #dragon #horns #cosclay #ilovecosclay #handsculpted #claysculpture #clayart

Symmetrical horns are defeating me. Strengthed with some wire and spent too long trying to get them to curve the same way. Ended up having simplify them πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ˜‚ The twist was a step too much... This time. #polymerclay #sculpture #sculptingclass #dragon #cosclay #ilovecosclay

Another birthday in our family. My little boy turns 4 today! I have discovered you can never have enough dinosaurs. Rawr! #birthday

We have eyebrow plates, fairly even ones. Finding out the hard way that symmetry isn't my biggest friend πŸ˜† #polymerclay #polymerclayart #sculpture #sculptingclass #workinprogress #dragon #cosclay #ilovecosclay

Started work on the... eyebrow plates?? As its a very young dragon he grown into his snout yet... or grown his teenage facial spikes... Finding it tricky to shape the eyebrows without poking out his eyes! πŸ˜„ #polymerclay #polymerclayart #sculpture #sculptingclass #dragon #cosclay #ilovecosclay

I got swept away in the process and forgot to take progress photos 😯 We’ve gone from brows to eyes and even a nose…starting to add some textures, but it's still not as dragon-like as I'd like πŸ‰ #polymerclay #polymerclayart #sculpture #sculptingclass #workinprogress #dragon #cosclay #ilovecosclay

Finally happy with my brows, now trying to get the nosebox even and playing around with how much of smirk or smile this little soul will have 😎 #polymerclay #polymerclayart #sculpture #sculptingclass #workinprogress #dragon #cosclay #ilovecosclay

No sculpting todayβ€”it's my little girl's 7th birthday! πŸŽ‰ It's gone so amazingly fast and slow at the same time. I can't believe she's 7 already - I wish I could press pause on her growing up so fast. πŸ’– #birthday

Spent far too many hours trying to make sure that not only are the eyes the same shape and size, but that the brows are the same height and puffiness... 🀨 #polymerclay #polymerclayart #sculpture #sculptingclass #workinprogress #dragon #cosclay #ilovecosclay

Smoothed in the facial features, feels more like a snake than a dragon at the moment... a snake with eyebrows! #polymerclay #sculpture #sculptingclass #workinprogress #dragon #polymerclayart #learningart

Padding out the facial features, not quite dragon like yet 😊 #polymerclay #polymerclayart #sculpture #sculptingclass #workinprogress #dragon

The start of a dragon for the CNotbusch Course. #polymerclay #sculpture #sculptingclass #workinprogress #dragon #polymerclayart
