Bookslug 1

    Sculpey & paper, about 4 inches long.

    Incidentally, although this particular slug isn't for sale, I'm always willing to take commissions...

    (and many of my other creations are up for grabs!)

      Thanks all!

      Yup, it's real paper - I cut a strip across a sheet of A4, folded it concertina-style, sliced open the folds at one side and stuck it in place with the help of Translucent Liquid Sculpey. The 130°C bake doesn't seem to have been enough to discolour the paper in the least - not that I'd have minded particularly if it had.

      Hehe, I love all these little creatures Fergus, and this one seems to be particularly alive, despite it's more docile appearance compared to all of the roaring, starey ones.

      Thanks Oli! I was quite pleased with the way this one turned out - I hadn't foreseen that eyestalks would be quite so expressive!

      The book, incidentally, was an afterthought - I made its feelers and noticed that it looked like it should be holding something roughly book-shaped...

      I adore this little guy! I have a book blog, would you mind if I borrowed the image? I would give full credit to you for it.

      Hi JM, what sort of use do you have in mind? (I take it you saw it on Bookslut?)

      Thanks - glad you like it!
