Nice huh. I love this! There is also a gold one that I gave to my step-mom for Mother's Day. I made these out of Sculpey with a magnet on the back to mount on the fridge. I need to find a more durable material though, any suggestions out there? Surprisingly the antlers are not terribly fragile because they are reinforced with toothpicks but the ears and the lip over the magnet are a bit weak. I am starting up at a ceramics place again soon so will try making a few out of real clay but I like the smooth texture of the sculpey better than the glaze texture of ceramics. I also want to try mold making! These would be awesome in acrylic!
