Pictures of almost complete sink

Just a few pictures of the almost complete sink. I need to fit the taps still and somehow make a plug that looks right.
It's been fun making this sink but ever so time consuming. Well worth the effort though. I won't mention how many hours he took, lol.

  1. Splendid work! I can just imagine how long he took! Did you use any sort of armature or support other than the wooden base you mentioned? I am assuming you painted him in some way since last I saw he was pink! Did you use glass eyes or paint them?

    He is just fabulous!!

  3. Hi Susan. I painted the eyes with acrylics then glossed over them. The body just has wood on the inside which saves on clay and perhaps although not sure gives it extra strength. Its just a rod runing up him below the bowl. The bowl was just shaped with no extra support.
    He has been trial and error with lots of learning along the way.
    He's also painted with acrylics.
    Next one will not take so long i imagine. Once in the know its always easier and quicker.

    I am so pleased you all like him and thank you for all your wonderful comments.
    Begona, i used prosculpt. If you go to my other posting and read the comments you will find out more.
    I woke up this morning thinking i really have not made enough minis to sell and that I'm ever such a slow worker. But all of your comments have really helped me to realise it doesn't matter how much or how little i make.
    All of your comments have been special but Linda's comment really cheered me up and made me think i'm not doing too bad.
    Tyhank you.
