They Bite

Carim Nahaboo brings us these outstanding bottled specimens. The creatures were sculpted out of Fimo polymer clay and colored with an ink wash.

  2. Those are just awesome. I plan to make a bottled Deep One embryo sometime this year.

  3. Very nice, but polymer clay may have a limited life before it decomposes, especially in liquids.

    Consider using commercial white clay and getting it fired in a kiln to make it really permanent. The firing will cost you a bit, but the item will survive thousands of years.

  4. Those are great - I also want to do something similar this year, I bought a bunch of jars in a second hand shop and some clay just for this purpose!

    Also, the Word Verification thing was perfect, if weird - "slymi" :)
