Wow, I think your sculptures are amazing. They do have that Brian Froud look about them. My favourite is probably the picture frame.
I know you used wool for the troll king but what did you use for the straight hair?
I've just doen my first sculpture out of fimo (a faerie) nowhere near as good as yours, but I did the hair with bits of feather so it stuck out everywhere, but I don't know what to use for straight hair.
Anyway, your work is amazing!

Wow! You can do really amazing thins with clay. Is that stuff expensive? Keep up that great work! Btw, ik woon in oosterhout, ook niet zo ver van jou vandaan 14

13 Marika Spijkers replies: "Thank you! The clay (puppenfimo) is not cheap, about 12 euro for 500 gram. But if you just make small dolls it is not so expensive. I also use air drying clay, this is less expensive...6-7 euro for a good air drying clay.Oosterhout is hier inderdaad niet ver vandaan! 19)"

I just love these! How do you get everything so smooth? Very nice.
