Weekly Feature and Giveaway: Fantasy Clay {Closed}

This week's giveaway is from Fantasy Clay

Susan of Fantasy Clay has been sculpting for approximately 10 years. Her interest was peeked when she found a Klutz book for kids. Susan fell in love with the endless sculpting possibilities and the ability to blend colors and began looking for more books and learning all she could. A big turning point for Susan was reading Dinko Tilov’s book, Creating Magical Creatures. It helped her go beyond making cute stuff and trying out some new ideas.

In the past few years, Susan's clay work has focused on fantasy creatures but other items have mixed in too. Susan's biggest inspiration comes from the colors she mixes. She often feels guided by the clay. After she builds the basics, the characters come out on their own.

To learn more about Susan and her work, you may visit her blog at fantasy-clay.com. She can also be found on facebook and on twitter.

While you are taking a look around Fantasy Clay, take advantage of the special discount Susan is offering Nature Manipulated's readers - 15% off any item with coupon code Natural Fantasy. Limit one use per customer. This special offer ends May 31, 2010.
