I LOVE all things small. I also love when a small thing can be put inside another tiny thing, a nut shell in this case. How cute is that! This little fox’s bed is a polymer clay walnut, made by casting a real nut in mold putty. I have always been drawn to casting, working with negative and positive space. It’s somewhat scientific. I recently came across 2 part silicone putty at the craft store. It’s wonderful for polymer clay because it can be baked in the oven and it’s super easy to use. After my walnut nest was complete, I added a cute little sleeping fox inside. My next idea will be using both sides of the walnut (in polymer clay) to make a tiny box that will open with a hinge. Maybe a sleeping mouse inside?
