    Is that a clay baby? I don't know what I expected, but I didn't expect that! :D You do wonderful work, I must say. I'd like to see more too, pretty please.

    Your work reminds me of this artist Rena:

    Ron Mueck's Amazing sculptures!!

    Ron Mueck is a London-based photo-realist artist. Born in Melbourne , Australia , to parents who were toy makers, he labored on children's television shows for 15 years before working in special effects for such films as Labyrinth, a 1986 fantasy epic starring David Bowie. Eventually Mueck concluded that photography pretty much destroys the physical presence of the original object, and so he turned to fine art and sculpture. In the early 1990's, still in his advertising days, Mueck was commissioned to make something highly realistic, and was wondering what material would do the trick. Latex was the usual, but he wanted something harder, more precise. Luckily, he saw a little architectural decor on the wall of a boutique and inquired as to the nice, pink stuff's nature. Fiberglass resin was the answer, and Mueck has made it his bronze and marble ever since.

    I would certainly put your baby sculpting talent on a par with his!!! :D

    These babies are sensational. You are truly gifted and insightful to bring such detail to something so small.
