A new tiny version of my Perma-Pets. These unique sculpted polymer clay sea creatures are suspended in clear acrylic resin inside a little glass bottle. Each Perma-Pet is a one of a kind (ooak) creation, hand painted with artist acrylics and sealed before being encased in resin.
The name Perma-Pet come from the fact that these are pets you can’t kill, for those who have little luck with aquariums.
Current Mini Perma-Pets can be found in my Etsy shop.
Hi, I want to learn how to make these on my own. Is it okay if you give me tips please? I really want to make one for my friend.
I sell my work for a living, I really can’t give you all my secrets and of course I would prefer if you bought my sculpture instead of trying to replicate it.
If you are interested in learning to sculpt in polymer clay I would direct you to Katherine Dewey’s fabulous sculpting book Creating Life-Like Animals in Polymer Clay for a good introduction to the techniques involved.
