My first (real) attempt at polymer clay sculpture.

I decided to sculpt something for my girlfriend's birthday. While I've played around with polymer clay, I've never actually done anything substantial with it until now.

I decided to create a sculpture of Pepe the King Prawn, a Muppets character that originally appeared in the short-lived TV series, "Muppets Tonight".

The sculpture is based on a scene from the movie [i]Muppets From Space[/i] (not an Oscar-winning film by any stretch of the imagination; but there are some hilarious Muppet moments).

I think it turned out pretty well for a first try.

Looks pretty good for a homemade thing. The only thing is that the phrase 'polymer clay' doesn't ring a bell to me, care to explain what kind of material it is? Clay, obviously but... ;)

Polymer clay is a manmade clay made of polyvinyl choride (PVC) and a plasticizer.

Polymer clay won't dry out at room temperature, but can be baked in a home oven (at 275 degrees F) to harden it. Both of those features make it ideal for amateur/home use.

The brand I use is called Super Sculpey.
