# About me

Hello, I'm Shantal! I'm a current student at Pepperdine University. I am a writer, sculptor, pianist, and a huge puzzle lover. I am left-handed and am the middle child of my family. I love getting my hands dirty with some polymer clay, (preferably Sculpey), and always have a puzzle or brain teaser around. I also love weight lifting, running, rock climbing and photoshop, and am intrigued by just about anything. I always want feedback on my art, so don't feel shy about giving me your opinion. Thanks for reading, and good luck on your art!

What do you have in mind? I looked through your gallery, and your wolves are so cute! :D (Big Grin) If I do decide to trade, it might be a couple of weeks before I'm able to make a sculpture that's not an order. I'm just now getting used to my college and work schedule. Let me know what you think. :) (Smile)

Oh my goodness, that would be so much fun to make! If you're interested in commissioning me I would be delighted to make a Hellboy Dragon. :D (Big Grin)

RexRoddenham In reply to ByToothAndClaw [2014-04-16 14:14:29 +0000 UTC]

Yes I am very interested in having you do the commission . I love your superhero dragons and the Halo dragon you did so I knew you would be the one to create a Hellboy dragon. Just let me know a price and how to pay for him :) (Smile) I am so excited and looking forward to seeing what you come up with. The main 2 things I would love to see on it would be the stone hand arm and the filed horns. Anything else just run wild with it

Have you ever used FIMO polymer clay?

Haha, no. I'm a huge fan of Sculpey. Why do you ask?

Willowfyre In reply to ByToothAndClaw [2014-04-02 23:40:05 +0000 UTC]

Just wondering! Sculpey seems to be a favorite!

ByToothAndClaw In reply to Willowfyre [2014-04-03 00:41:13 +0000 UTC]

It does. Sculpey Premo just has the perfect consistency for me, and Super Sculpey is a fantastic material.

Willowfyre In reply to ByToothAndClaw [2014-04-03 02:46:03 +0000 UTC]

Awesome. I have been using Fimo because it is my first time using polymer clay, but I also got a packet of Sculpey. Can't wait to try it!

May i ask how you keep your sculptures so clean? i always have problems with it xD

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

ByToothAndClaw In reply to Dragonsculpt [2014-02-05 20:17:08 +0000 UTC]

Oh gosh! You're not the only one. I work on a glass surface, and always clean it with rubbing alcohol before sculpting. I always wash my hands before sculpting, and keep a wet towel on hand if I sculpting with white clay to keep my hands clean. Despite all of that, sometimes the clay will pick up dirt anyway, so I gently clean them with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol when they're done. Hope I helped!
