Christi Friesen inspired sculptures

I ran across the artist Christi Friesen a little while ago and I was just blown away by her polymer clay art. I like to fiddle with clay myself sometimes, so I used her tutorials to make a few things.



The first is a "focal bead" made by following the principles in one of the tutorials. The smaller beads I made out of scraps to kind of have a similar feel to the focal bead.



This guy was my favorite! He's not as polished at the owl in the tutorial, but I learned a lot while making him. I wish I still had him, but I traded him and the beads away in a craft swap on Swap-bot. I guess I'll just have to make another one. :)

To see more stuff people have made inspired by Christi Friesen, I found this neat Flickr gallery where people post pictures of their CF-inspired work.
