I gotta try to type fast because while I was downloading some of these pictures, a few sold out. Anyway, it was Leslie Leving’s Beastlies that got me paying attention again to polymer clay as a medium for designer toys and Mike Slobot who turned me onto “My Guys” by Meredith Dittmar. These whimsical little (2-3-inch) clay creatures are all hand-made. “My Guys” are one-offs, which cost $18, whereas “clones” are open-editions for $12. Meredith also has a couple holiday critters, including a 7-inch set for $55. I want to write more about these, like how much I dig the green guy with the flower and the purple maniac with the pencil above, but due to the fact that these dropped moments ago and are already getting snatched up, I’ll just offer you some images, a link and my glowing endorsement.
