Deviousness |
I have not seen the movie but I've seen lots of images of Jack. You caught him perfectly and I think he's adorable as a Minikin. The hoodie details must have taken ages.
I see that you varnish your figures. Is that a normal technique when using polymer?
I'm really glad you like it
Varnishing is pretty common on polymer clay figures. You can leave them unvarnished and I did this for my first sculptures but after I tried it out I really prefer the look of the varnish. It also means the acrylic paint won't get scratched or wash off accidentally or have the Pearl-Ex rub of so it's important to use on painted or Pearl-Ex'ed figures. There is special polymer clay varnish sold, or you can use one of a few brands of water based varnish that is safe to use. I use the Sculpey brand varnish.
