Clay fox sculpture

Canada-based maker Melissa McCarthy (MadeWithClayAndLove) has been making tiny animal sculptures by hand for more than eight years.

I need to start learning the mold-making process, so I sculpted a small image of a fox in oil-based clay. I chose the animal and the pose to make for as easy of a mold as possible - notice that the entire composition is very pyramid in shape. I made a simple armature of a nail driven into a small wooden disc. Then I used oil-based clay to sculpt the fox in a more stylized manner. It was fun to sculpt something different from figure and interesting to try and capture the essence of a fox…
