I've been working with clay for the last 10-15 years. I started out with those tutorial books at craft stores to get started and then I went off on my own one I had the basics down.

Learning to make boxers is new. I just made my first one back in December, but had to stop because of RA. Now I'm feeling much better so I'm trying to get back into it.

Using my own ideas, I started out making dragons, sea turtles and humpback whales. These boxers are new. Here are a couple pics of the dragons, turtles, and whales I've made.

My first dragon.


I gave this one to my mother without taking a pic of the finished product. I painted this one blue. I'll need to get an updated pic!


I think I painted this one red with black wings per my brother's request. Never got a finished pic of this one either.






My first Humpback Whale.






First mom and calf.

Thanks guys! I added some more clay for the chest this morning before I baked it. I thought I was happy with it, but looking now I think it's still lacking. Nothing a little more practice won't fix.

Here's the finish product. I'm finding out that I'm not much of a painting fan. LOL The mask needs some more work, but overall I'm happy with it.

Absolutely stunning! I would be interested in finding a way to purchase one from you if you ever wanted to, or did it to make money. I think we are all more critical on ourselves than anyone else is. I think you did an awesome job! You have some amazing talent
