Miriam Springett

I am a fine artist and stop motion animator; I have a tendency toward the surreal, eccentric, and brightly coloured. This blog will show my experiments, works in progress, and finished pieces. There will be an emphasis on model making and character design.

More handmade polymer clay boxes / jars :) Unusual colours for me, but I really like the quality of that purple "pearl" clay. #polymerclay #polymerclayart #flowers #sculpey #purple
