Here's some picspam of the polymer figure of Pip I made:

 

 

The first three are the first bakes.

 

 

 

 

 

And here is the final result.

All I can say is - FINALLY!!! I was going to jump off the wire if it didn't go through this time! Pippin looks precious :P

[dreamflower]

Oooh, thanks!

(And it looks very possible that we might see you tonight! 8-D)

Adorable! He looks full of wonder and mischief.

:D

[dreamflower]

I'm glad you see that, it's what I was hoping for. He's not perfect, but I am very pleased with his eyes and his feet!

[elendiari22.livejournal.com]

Aww, how sweet! He looks really good!

[dreamflower]

Thanks!

So cute! You really have such a talent for this. Your polymer!hobbits should get their own tv show, like Gumby or something :D :D

[dreamflower]

LOL! Now that *would* be something, wouldn't it? *chuckle*

[lil-banik-slave.livejournal.com]

Very nice :-D

I was wondering what you meant by Polymer

[dreamflower]

Polymer clay, also known as Sculpey, Premo or Fimo, or a couple of other brand names. It's a wonderful thing to work with; you bake in a regular oven, no need for a kiln.

Oh so cute! with his eyes looking up so innocently. :D

[dreamflower]

Yes, I was rather pleased with his big green eyes!

[ansostuff.livejournal.com]

You are so clever! Very well done, I say. :D

[dreamflower]

Thanks! Guess who's next?

[ansostuff.livejournal.com]

Sam? ;) No I don`t suppose i have to guess, lol. :)

[lily-the-hobbit.livejournal.com]

He looks great!

[dreamflower]

Thank you! 8-)

::huggles your polymer Pip:: ;)

[dreamflower]

Thank you very much! And Poly!Pip returns your hugs!

Too cute for words! You are just full of all kinds of talent, aren't you? Adorable!

[dreamflower]

Well, it helps that the subject is so cute.
*blushes*
I tend to think of myself more as "Jill of all trades, and mistress of none," LOL!
Glad you like!

Eeeeeeeee!! He looks wonderful! Now what is this about multiple bakes?! I didn't know you could do that! Why don't the already-baked parts burn when you put them in again?

[dreamflower]

Multiple bakes?
Well, unlike food, which has to be baked just so, or it will burn, polymer clay can be baked several times. As long as the temperature is not too high, it will not burn at all. You can *underbake* it, but not *overbake* it. The result is that you can bake things in layers. Figures like this take advantage of that, because you can bake it in stages, lending the strength of the finished product to the underlayers as you add to it. For example, eyes, I have baked a couple of dozen little round white eyeballs which can be inserted into the face without squishing. And you can position the body, so that it holds its shape as you add the arms, head, hair, etc. I baked Pip in four stages: torso and legs,
shirt, then arms and head, and finally hair. Then I painted the pupils of the eyes.

It's not hard at all. But don't let the oven temp get too high--it *can* burn that way, and the fumes are dangerous if it does. But at between 260 to 275 degrees, it's not gonna burn.

He looks really mischievous sweet :-D

[dreamflower]

Thanks; mischievous and sweet? That's our Pippin! I'm glad you think I caught that!

[grey-wonderer.livejournal.com]

I meant to tell you how cute he was before but forgot to post. I like him very much. Have you introduced him to polymer Frodo yet?

[dreamflower]

Yes, he's sitting on the piano next to his cousin, by the model of Bag End. They are waiting now for Polymer!Merry,Sam,Fatty and Folco to join them, LOL!
