PCTrade: Misty

2nd of 3 polymer clay sculptures for the lovely *Eviecats

Misty is my first fox sculpture and I'm reasonably happy with her, although I do think with her ear and cheek fluffs she looks a little bit like a Papillon (Continental Toy Spaniel) but I do love her all the same

Misty is also the 10th sculpture I've made since focussing on polymer clay and I think I am getting better with each one

I'm a little dismayed by the paint job; it's been so humid here the last few days that painting has become very unrewarding The acrylic dries super fast which makes it difficult to get a smooth finish :/

Misty is made from 100% fimo soft (I'm waiting on some super sculpey, Opal certainly needs it for her design, fimo soft is too brittle to handle her detailing), painted with matt and metallic acrylic paint and varnished with Americana DuraClear polyurethane gloss varnish (water based). The Fimo varnish I've had is useless, I don't know if it's past its "best before" or what but it seems to react with the acrylic paint, bubbling and peeling off just by gentle touch It's near ruined one of the sculptures I've done But this Americana stuff is really nice ^^

Misty measures 35mm (hip to hip) by 45mm (nose to tail) by 45mm (paws to ears).
