Name change and addition to clay line up (Birds)

[Valvaren]

So i've changed my name from Dee's Clay Creations to Custom Exotics, trying to actually get into this other then expos and since i've made a more appropriate name I figured it was time to add something else to my clay line up so I tried a shot at parrots. Only did three things so far but I feel i'll I've been making strides.

First attempt, just a head to get beak and head shape

This came out really bad as yellow was a terrible idea to start with for blending, it was really soft and stained really easily.

Finally I've went back to trying to focus on beak,head and general body shape with a little bit of color blending again, just whipped this up a few minutes ago, isn't done yet but so far i'm really liking it

Not bad considering I did that first head yesterday afternoon :P

Those are adorable! I know of quite a few people who would love to have them. Will you be selling these via a website?

Love the little flower at the nanday's feet. So cute.

[Mark Taylor]

they are well cool mate how much are they?

[Valvaren]

Sent you a message Mark.

You are so talented! I especially love the Nanday, you captured such a sweet expression in his eye. Though, if I may offer a tidbit of constructive criticism... as a parrot lover, it kinda gets to me when I see parrots with three toys pointing forward. Their cute little feet only have two toes pointing forward. I hope I didn't offend you, you really have great talent and did a great job! I would love to see others that you make in the futur. I would be interested in a Green Wing Macaw if you ever make one for sale... :)

[Valvaren]

I actually fixed the feet early there's only two now, they are more pointy and are detailed, I realized my mistake after uploaded and looked at the picture hahaha thank you though! And I will give the macaw a shot!

Those are cool man! What are they used for?

[Valvaren]

Thank you!

I can pretty much make anything from necklaces,keychains, bracelets, magnets, earrings. You can also just hang them somewhere, like some people use them as rear view mirror hangers or I can even make them so they are just little figurines.

I bascially depends on what you want and how big, this would be a necklace but I could also just do a head and it could be a bracelet charm or earrings etc.

[Valvaren]

Made my fourth!

I'm enjoying these far to much ;|

[Jeepers]

Oh! I would love to have some as door decorations to my babies' rooms. Can't wait to see you make some more! We have an Umbrella Cockatoo, Lesser Sulfur Crested Cockatoo, and a Blue and Gold Macaw :D

[wdissident]

now lets see you whip up some snakes :) :)

I might be able to try a blue and gold either tonight or tomorrow depending on how late my shift runs, if not i'm off thursday so for sure. The Cockatoos might be a bit difficult at thie moment as white and light colors are very hard to keep clean, I like in a bachelor with two cats :| Once I figure out away to stop the dust and fur I will give them a try as well.


I pmd wdissident but I figured for anyone knew I should say it here, I do do clay snakes, they are why I started getting into clay. I don't start many threads on this forum so if you search you shouldn't have a hard time finding my threads with my clay stuff.

For those that play video games I've also dabbled in game stuff and hope to do more with it since i'm a gamer myself.

Thank you guys for all the compliments! I cannot wait for another day off to make more!

[Valvaren]

I am in love with this piece, unforunately I made a promise I wasn'r allowed to keep anything else I made so i'm heartbroken to put it for sale

Anyway this is probably one of the best things I've EVER made and i'm so happy with it, this picture doesn't so it justice. Its blown out in places and its till unbaked, it will look so nice when its done, anyway this is it!

Just a few more pictures. I've pretty much given myself a migraine in the past few hours over Burn and since there's nothing I can do right now until I hear from the vet I'm trying to relax.
