Omg yeeessss Very AVATAR vibes 👍 Looks amazing! And that neat trick with the glue and the baby powder! 👍❤😀
Thank you 😁 and glad you like the repair trick, so useful!
I have to totally try it out 😂👍
That's amazing. Ever work with Monster Clay and silicone molds? That jellyfly would look awesome done in a clear resin. And lit from within.
A mixture of a butterfly and an immortal being well done sofia!
Thanks @jay 😃
Brilliant work, I'm blown away!
Great work, both making the vid and the sculpt. Keep being awesome and make a effort to remember how much you rock by putting up photos of things you are proud of and good things people said. Make a powerwall that you add/alter to force yourself the revisit and get fuel for the days you're running low...actually I'm probably talking to myself cause that's what I need to do now, but maybe someone reads this and also needs it.
Astonishing. Its like a facehugger got Bjork. Really beautiful and cool. You master.
Wow! The talent!
What a fantastic creature you’ve created!!! Your work is mesmerising. I’m completely speechless with awe!
Thank you very much for sharing this! ❤️

Amazing work but your intuitive flowing process to make these pieces is even more amazing
Beautiful 🥰

Such creative talent❤️❤️❤️❤️
OMG 😳 what should I say?!? It’s amazing 🤩 I’m so in love with this beautiful jellyfish ♥️ thanks for sharing ur working process with us 🙏♥️
Just started interest in this Art... you are my inspiration! Thanks
You have so many incredible tips:) I’m so excited to have found your channel and start sculpting again!
Thank you so much for your videos. Truly amazing :)
So happy to have found this channel, love the sculptures, fascinating.
Thank you so much for sharing this. U are incredibly talented :))
You are the best thank you for your knowledge ^^
Just found your channel it's amazing and I'm incredibly annoyed I haven't found it in searches for this kind of content.
I'm in love with your imagination!
Love your work. It's inspired me to think about sculpting again after a break of 20 years since finishing my masters in art. How long did it take to do the sculpture. It looks a lot more time-consuming than the video looks.
FANTASTIC!
A huge like from me. This sculpture looks awesome
wow. incredible love this. i will made one to.
Omg, I just found your channel, and I’m so happy!!! Yea! I learned two new tricks from you during this video! That is so exciting. I do have one question, because I do work in polymer clay. When I have baked something and it has cracked, I’ve just patched the cracks useing polymer clay, mixed with liquid polymer clay, to fix cracks. I noticed you, decided to start that piece over, and make it thinner. Should I be doing this, rather than patching the cracks? My sculpture education, is in metalsmithing and jewelry design, and I started working with polymer clay because the metal was messing up my hands, and I needed a softer material. So, I’m just making it up as I go via experiments. I’m so excited to have found your channel, and going to binge watch it while I work on my sculpts😻! I’m so excited to find have found your channel!!! ✨💙✨
This is beautiful. How long would you estimate that this took you so complete?
This is amazing!
I'm thinking mica powder might also have been good at the dry brush stage. Would that have worked for you?
For a complete beginner, where do you start with clay sculpting ? I see it's a whole process between the forming of the clay, to adding details with tools and then painting as well, which includes knowing how to shade/highlighting, ect. (Which I know nothing about! Lol) So, with that being said.. where would I begin!? 🙂
Look into Cosclay. It is a flexible polymer clay that is really durable. I'm not sure it is available in New Zealand, though.
Anyway, that is a beautiful sculpture and the paint makes it come alive.
Baking powder also does a similar thing when combined with CA glue. I wonder how it compares to the baby powder.
Do I like this video???? I WANT THAT SCULPTURE!!!!!😍😍😍
errrrrrr🤔.. errmmmmm🤔.. wow.. liked and subscribed🙂
Sofia, can you do a lot of inflatable air bladders effects techniques, please?
Do you think a lighter would work to prebake very small eyeballs?
I love your sculpting. Can you please give me some advice to be motivated for sculpting, because I wanted to start sculpting too, but I fell like I couldn't do this or I won't be happy with the results. I would relly apriciate it. (Sorry for my English I am from Germany and English is my secound langguage)
Is there a reason you didn’t use translucent clay?
Wonder if it would have cracked using Cosclay rather than Sculpey. Doubt it. I'm somewhat over my pieces of sculpey breaking here and there especially tiny parts.
What happens if you over bake the pieces of different thickness? Do you always need to Prebake?
In my experience, overbaking occurs only when you use too high a temperature. As long as I stay at 275 °F, I can safely bake multiple times or for longer times than called for. It's always good to follow instructions, but whereas the clay I use calls for 15 minutes baking time, I bake everything, even my thinnest parts, for 30 minutes with no dire consequences.
Maybe I've just been lucky. Your mileage may vary.
I've read that the colors of alcohol inks fade over time. What has been your experience?
Maja spørger om du vil lære hende at lave sådan nogle seje ting ? 🥰
aww det vil jeg gerne Maja 😊
Er den ikke lidt for blå?
For blå for hvad? ;)
