Purple Cormorant



Cormorants swim mostly submerged, with just their heads and necks above the surface of the water, making them look like little Loch Ness monsters. I'm half tempted to label this post "sea serpents" as well.

He's pretty! There are polymers that float right?

I'm not actually sure. The clay I use is pretty porous after firing so it seems like prolonged water exposure would damage the piece. So I haven't actually tried floating any of the feeps.

Right, right. I believe sculpey superlight floats, and possible that lumina brand...the air dry resin based one.
Anyways: )

Hmm. I'll have to look into some of these things. Feep bath toys! My nephew would go nuts.
