I recently got back into my old hobby making things from sculpey. I made a girl I work with a mermaid tail pendant and my boss a Koi. I need some extra cash coming in so I was thinking of selling the fish- I am pretty sure I could do just about any fish you may want- They will all be totally one of a kind, but I will keep the patterns for future sculpts. All will be painted true to species or your own personal colors in iridescent colors to mimic the sheen of a fish. Here's the Koi I did for my boss:

10799

He's roughly 7" long by 3.5" wide, and his fins kinda curl up and around- he's not just flat. I'll be adding some sparkles and sealing him in high-gloss clear coat before he's done. Just for an example of different colors I have done, here's the tail pendant I did for Matti:

10800

For the Koi or one with a similar production time, I will ask 15-20 bucks plus shipping, depending on what people are willing to pay. For larger or more complex designs, (Lion fish, for example) I'd charge more. I'd like your feedback- so let me know! Thanks!!

That goldfish is incredible! I would definitely order a fish if you started selling them :)

Thanks! I have decided (in the last half hour lol) I will sell these. For now I'll make them as the orders come in plus a few of my own little creations for fun or sale if someone wants them. PM me with what you would like if you still want one and we'll go from there! Thanks!

Wow! Those are both gorgeous Lotus. Let me know when you get your shop open, I think I will have to buy one :D The Koi would make a lovely hair clip!

I have a new one finished and for sale-
11542
...ok not TOTALY done- he'll have little copper wire "whiskers" where those tony holes are. It'll keep him secured to his water. :)
This was going to my boss (the other one I made him had an accident) but I'm gonna make a Cichlid instead for him since he has a huge one in the tank at the shop. I'd like $40, shipping is on me. (in the continental US)
I can make any fish you like, and they can be wall hangings or hair clips- I made one for a gal pal of mine, I'll post pics of it as soon as it's painted.

Ooooh... How well would something like the coppery fish with the blue water around it work for a hair clip? Would you be able to curve it slightly to fit on a metal barrette?

Hey! the koi with water background is still for sale :)
Yes, I can make a clip out of one, no problem.
Yes, I still sell them, they are made to order :)

Hi, Lotus! Your PM folder is full, so I couldn't send you a message, but I am interested in the koi with water as a hair clip, but could I get the water more aqua/turquoise and the fish more golden/yellow? I also have a thought for another hair clip, if you could do it! Send me a message with price and lead time, please!
