Ladybug Figurine in Dress w/ Pail of Gumdrops-Polymer Clay Insect - Sculpted Clay Bug Figurine-Miniature Collectible - Mini Keepsake Candy popular

popular Kentucky Originals are hand-sculpted polymer clay figurines. My collectibles include a wide variety of whimsical characters such as snowmen, gingerbread men, ghosts, scarecrows and angels and an assortment of insects, household pets, domesticated farm or barnyard animals and wild animals ...... mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians. You might find some figures accessorized with sculpted items of things ‘occurring in nature', like tree stumps, rocks, flowers, fruit or leaves and others with ‘man-made' items like tea cups, cookies, candy, buckets, brooms, fences, hats, dresses or even swim gear! I sometimes use paint to decorate or add to the figure or props. Each one of my collectibles is a one-of-a-kind figurine with its own personality, whim and expression. While these miniature sculptures look cute sitting on a shelf or as an ornament hanging on a Christmas tree, many customers use my collectibles as Cake Toppers as well. In my sculpting techniques, I do not use any molds for my characters, but rather use pins and needles, making each figurine truly unique. My ideas for and design of each piece come together as I sculpt. Though I may try or want to repeat a particular figurine, it is not quite possible to capture the same expression from one to the next. This does make it difficult to part with many of my little critters. But, I enjoy selling my figurines and hope to share some smiles with others.

This little Ladybug is holding a yellow gumdrop and is wearing her favorite red dress with black polka dots with a matching bow on her head. She has a shiny shell, iridescent antennas and tiny sparkly red hearts painted on the bottom of her feet. Her shiny green pail is filled with colorful Gumdrops and it has tiny iridescent flowers painted on the side. She sits 1 1/4 inches in height to the top of her bow. The entire piece is made of clay, even the eyes which I gloss to give them a reflective look.

Thanks for spending some time at my shop!

God Bless,
Amy
