I moved to Sunset Park, Brooklyn in 2006, and feeling inspired, started playing around with polymer clay to create little sculptures of my animal neighbors; a rat, a pigeon, and a cockroach. A friend thought they were so cute, he suggested I try to sell some of my creations. I started out selling simple little penguins. Within a month, I had a customer ask if I could make a custom order of her pet chinchilla. These days, most of my work is custom and much more detailed. I especially love making custom pet wedding cake toppers.
I work with high quality polymer clay and a clear high gloss glaze. Every pet is made individually by hand, without the use of molds. I prefer to mix my own colored clay to match each pet exactly. Instead of painting the sculptures, I carefully add tiny layers of color and texture with the clay itself. Time consuming, but I feel the results are much richer in color, last longer, and great care can be given to each of your special pet sculptures! :)
I sign and date each custom project, and you will receive a signed Certificate of Authenticity with a unique serial number for your original sculpture.
Thank you so much for taking the time to learn a bit about me and my shop!
