    i posted some in the crafts forum, but it was a little dead and i've been trying to establish to myself that these things completely count as fine art, anyway, so now i'm here.

    i've made seven of these little guys and i'm working on an eighth.

    i also have a question: if i could somehow get a hold of a kiln and actually make it so their heads don't fall off randomly, as well as improve my technique a bit, do you think people would be interested in buying them? i'd mostly advertise them as weird little bookshelf and garden additions/populations, and i might do alright selling in Portland, where I'm moving...

    I think people would be interested in buying if the price was reasonable. I can see myself having something like that in a garden, very neat :)

    they're just regular modelling clay, the kind you have to cook in a kiln for any kind of strength as i'm discovering :p

    and thank you kindly!
