One of life's little pleasures - microsculpting at the zoo.

Sculpey polymer clay, household tools, and a little patience:

I'll airbrush it later - should make a nice bola.

Many thanks, Whit and Scorp - good idea, Scorp - as is.

Nothing like a lump of clay and a good subject.

Warm regards - Bob

Coat of clear with a lil patina would bring out the detail,,,
seems over time the humidity might affect the raw clay,,,
but with the looks of this,, it's not the first,, so I'm thinkin
you've got your bases covered ,,, NICE WORK !!!

Thanks Norm - I'd have done a pair, but it would have been too bipolar.

Thanks, Jimmy - I've occasionally had to wipe the micro-smile off my face at home - trying to mask it.

I asked my bride about my final plotting.

She said she's lined up a first rate taxidermist, so no plot will be required.
