DIY: animal farm

This arvo i made myself a little lamb from some Fimo clay.
I saw a collection of Schleich animals while browsing at Toy'R'us yesterday. I found a cute little lamb and almost wanted to take it home with me. Too cute.

Instead, i had a light-bulb moment. I thought to myself that i could try making one myself.

So i spent this arvo (close to an hour plus) playing with some Fimo clay i bought a while ago. It was quite fun but also tricky to get the details near perfection. haha. failed and tried again. Especially for the four limbs, i had trouble joining them to the body.
Anyhow...




Say hello to my new friend, Little Peach

My little lamb turned out not so perfect like Schleich...but at least, it looks like a lamb to me!
I baked my little lamb at 110c for almost 30mins. It came out perfectly 'cooked'. haha. it became rock hard after leaving it to cool for a while. I could have painted it a bit...but i think i will leave it as it is.
A little Peachy Lamb.
I wonder what other animals i would like to attempt at making. lol.
If you found some Fimo clay, you should try it too! Fun!
