This post had been created after @wakeupkitty asked me in one of my posts what do I do with my tiny sculptures.
I have decided instead to show you guys what do I do with everything that I make. I do have a big plastic tub in one of our storage spaces.Since we are on a lockdown here, I cannot go over to take pictures.
There is no "official" way on what I do with my sculptures. Sometimes, I store them or, incorporate them in my future work. I was initially planning on opening an online shop to sell them as charms and whatnots. But, my present condition does not allow me to.
Here are crafted resin containers which I use to make charms. They can be used as a stand up containers though.
I had been discussing on me using air dry clay more and more in the past few days. This is how I dry them up. I just leave them on my shelves- or anywhere. Depending on their size and weather, they stay out until I could confidently say that they are already dried out.
Some of my earlier works end up in my craft organizers. They are usually re used for other works. For the meantime, my drawers are their home.
Here are some of my baked polymer clay works. They are stored in these tiny containers on my desk. I do not use precautions such as bubble wraps, papers or any type of protection- as what people who wish to sell their sculptures do. As long as no one comes along and intentionally break them, they are safe in my containers. I store them in my room. They are completely safe even with the resin protector.
Last time, I was able to buy this hobby display case in one of the local shops here. These are works which are too big to be stored in containers. They also function as a display case and an FYI on anyone who visits my room and ask what do I do with my clay.
If you look closesly, most of the work I did before in my blog are there. There's the bathing bears which I love looking, the doll with pink curly hair- and her hair by the way is still amazing!
Here is a view on my resin organizer drawer. I created these work for a future project.
I use most of them as displays in my room. Just look at my flowers!
A closer look....
This is a classic example I make with all my favourite charms/ sculptures- I make a decoden. They are simply attached with a craft icing.
I do enjoy doing this and, I see me still doing this even probably way into my senior years. Life is too short. I know I will enjoy teaching my kids and grandkids on how to make these.
