Description Shhhhhhh....Seymour is snoozing.  This miniature cat sculpture was created by hand in 1:12 scale using polymer clay and fine wire in the legs, neck and tail.  After the sculpture was cured in the oven, it was painted and given an applied creamsicle coat of smooth, soft alpaca fibers and powder-fine flock.  His tiny whiskers were individually inserted one-by-one and set with glue.  Seymour was sold at auction July 2011 and lives happily in his new home.

Thank you!  Cats make wonderful models while they sleep (which is most of the time)

These are just so adorable and amazing. Just curious, I know you said these are one of a kind... but my question is if you take any commissions for one made for you to resemble one of our own real cats.

Thank you!
I mostly take commissions of someone's real life pet they want in miniature scale, and will work from customer supplied photos.
If I am asked to make a pet 'exactly' (i.e., same pose, size & coat color) like a sculpture I have already made -- I generally explain that I would prefer not to duplicate someone's special pet sculpture.
However, I can and will make a piece 'similar' in coat color if their particular pet has the same markings, etc., and just change up the pose slightly if that is the typical character of their pet -- I just choose not to create multiple cookie-cutter sculpts (if you know what I mean).

Thanks!  I do not have any for sale at the moment. 
All are one of a kind (and I do not duplicate my work to keep them as special collectibles).
Please check back, as I will post on DA if I have any new sculpts that will be offered for sale

One of the secrets is getting the underlying sculpture correct prior to adding the fiber.

Yeah, I'll bet that clay is real expensive.

ooh... I was so fascinated when I saw miniature food - this was amazing. But your miniatures animals are more amazing - it's gorgeous!

Pajutee In reply to ZueMasuo [2014-04-17 16:10:45 +0000 UTC]

Yes - there are some mind-blowing miniatures out there.  Many of the things you see everyday in real life have been miniaturized by someone somewhere.
Its an addicting hobby XD

Thank you!  I do not take many photos with my hands next to the miniature animals to show size.  I would much rather use miniature props to help make the scene look real

That's very true. I wish I could get a custom of my kitty as a miniature but I'm sure they are expensive.

Pajutee In reply to TheBlackCatRei [2014-04-12 02:50:32 +0000 UTC]

I wish I had more hours in a day to make miniatures -- but, I limit my time in the studio because I need balance in my life.  Otherwise, my sculpting could become "have to" work and kill the joy of creating.

That would make sense. Well it's ok. I understand that, Wouldn't want something you like to do to be what you have to.
