Over the last summer I dabbled in sculpey modeling clay, and made a project I've been wanting to make since I was a kid. Tiny monsters in a bottle; specifically my beloved DragonQuest slimes <3 I have a keen fascination with them. They are friendly and squishy looking and I would simply love to poke one in real life.
The slimes were made with white sculpey, baked in the oven, then painted with acrylic crafting paint a friend of mine was kind enough to loan me (which is still in my closet, actually). I painted over top with a clear coat to give them a little shine, filled a bottle with aloe gel and stuck 'em in it. Simple indeed.

That's a really neat idea. It seems to have turned out nicely.
