Polymer Clay Journey: Making Personalized Gifts- Figurines Tutorial. Video- Meet Jesse and Justin

Yes, I recently posted a compilation of the clay figurines I have created for gifts over the past couple of years. Strange thing is I thought I had videos of the beginning to end process on YouTube, but nope. So off to work I went and voila, here is a video intended to teach, encourage and inspire others to get out the polymer clay, tools, armature, powders, tape, tin foil and baking supplies and get sculpting your own personalized gift. My two male figures are about 8 inches tall. I don't have the patience for miniature scale.

Watch Tutorial Video Below.

Thanks for stopping by. Here is the last article with links that go to each video with the article links.

POLYMER CLAY JOURNEY: My Compilation Of Polymer Clay Figures So Far....

I was watching a great broadcast that mentioned polymer clay figure making. That got me thinking about the few I have had fun making. Since I have created some, I thought I would make a compilation posting of my clay figures so far. I included the original post links and videos (for the ones I made videos for.)
A Side Thought Or Two On Originality.
Sculpting figures makes a great personalized gift of love. I prefer to do people I know and not characters. Years ago in College, we had it drilled into our heads about copyright so I always worry about breaching it. I would love to hear from anyone who knows how people copy trademarked or copyrighted images in clay, drawings, and other forms and avoid copyright infringement. The one key thing we were taught (in an Arts Administration program, was that the belief, if you aren't making money from it, it is okay to copy (in that class they specifically talked about music. Our Professor even said that technically, it was breaking copyright to even sing a song off the radio without permission/licensing fees. That class was twenty five years ago, maybe laws have slackened? As an art mentor, I always encourage budding young artists to be original. But, many grew up copying favourite characters from games, videos and such. Then I tell them it is okay to be inspired by other artists, but alter the image and make it your own. Be original guys. It is worth it!

On with the show, this is it....(Is that line copyrighted?) Hmmmm....Hope you are inspired even a little.

For My Dad's Birthday

Polymer Clay Adventures - Love "THE JESSE" Part 2

In a previous blog (click here) I was sharing my one and only (so far) three dimensional polymer clay

figurine/sculpture that I made to celebrate my dear nephew's life. Wanting it to be as special and unique as possible, I decided to try my newest love, polymer clay. Check out part one to see where we began and how we got there.

In this last part, I just want to share detailed photos of the work in progress and then the completed figure. I hope to put a YouTube mini doc together when I get time.
It is amazing to see how artwork changes from beginning to end. Look and see!
