I’m illustrating a children’s book with watercolor paper sets. Building a nook under the stairs. I used cheesecloth for the door hinges. Should I do a tutorial?

Can’t have a kiln, but I’m obsessed with ceramic miniatures. Spent four years studying ceramics, emulating each step to make them look and feel like glazed ceramic. #art steps in comments

Mini bear #art. Sculpted in epoxy clay. Primed, then used watercolor ground so the watercolor sweaters could be transparent. Trying to replicate how glaze and underglaze work. Uv resin topcoat. Yellow is 1in, red is 0.5in.

How to dry air dry clay faster, w a modified a food dehydrator. Tested on Activa Premier clay. The piece dried at the highest temp over the shortest time came out the best 🤯. These would usually take a couple days, but it dried 1/8in thick clay in under 2 hours. 🤯🤯🤯 #airdryclay #handmade
