Description

:iconkodamaplz:

I know, loads of people have made their own clay Kodama, buuut I still wanted to make my own too :XD:

These little guys are of course based on the forest spirits in the Studio Ghibli movie Princess Mononoke, and are made from Fimo polymer clay :D They stand (sit?) about 4 centimeters tall :D 

I was intending to make an army of them, and sell them on Etsy, but it turns out they're completely impossible to keep purely white; they collect loads of dust when making them, so they're all speckled with dust particles e__e I tried painting them with white acrylic paint, buuut they just collected more dust while the paint dried :roll:

Does anyone know any tips on how to not have a million dust particles stick to the polymer clay (other than making them in a freaking vacuum)? Or any tips on how to hide them? It doesn't show that much on the photo, but it really bugs me :XD:

Anyway, hope you like; more photos will most likely be uploaded soonly :XD:

You're right, white is a pain in the butt! But, if you use a q-tip and alcohol you can rub away the dust and speckles that settle. Keep em covered while not working, cover if painting. Like a big box or something is what I do. :)
