Paperweight in the shape of a horse

China

13th–14th century

"Cast in silver, this elegant standing horse may have served as a paperweight on a scholar’s desk. The figure reflects both the refined metalwork and cultivated aesthetics valued by intellectuals of the period."

DIY Geometric Polymer Clay Paperweight Tutorial from dot coms for moms here (first seen at Poppytalk here). If you are lucky you can find fimo (my favorite brand) or any polymer clay on sale at Michaels for as low as $1 a block. *A hint I found that really works from Delighted Momma here or I posted it here: freeze the fimo for a few minutes after you've molded it into the shape you want to carve. It is much easier to get clean looking angles when slicing. For tons more polymer clay projects go here: truebluemeandyou.tumblr.com/tagged/polymer+clay
