Sculpting - Part 1

I love to make crafts, especially small ones. A while back, I had started making some 1 inch tall, miniature clay puppies for a board game. After a while it morphed into simply making them for fun. My favorite type of dog is a Westie (West Highland White Terrier.) Here are the four that I made...














pink bandanna puppy...














blue bandanna puppy from the back...














green bandanna puppy (my personal favorite) ...














yellow bandanna puppy (so you can see the size.)

I'm hoping to try to sell a few of them, but I have to figure out the all the specifics.
