Only a week left until Christmas day doesn't even feel like it should be possible. This year has simultaneously dragged on forever and sped by too fast.

A cork bowl filled with tiny white curly-bodied sheep. Their faces are a light peach color with small black eyes. They currently have no ears.

Two tiny sheep tokens after ears are attached. One has perky rounded ears, and the other has droopy ears.

WIP Wednesday: still need to add some ears to this pile of handmade Catan sheep

Do you think the perky-eared sheep or the droopy-eared sheep are more charming? My vote is on perky because they look so inquisitive. The slight head tilt adds to the vibe, I think.

This was such a fun commission! I was asked to make game upgrades for Sheep & Thief. I already make white sheep for Catan, so the black sheep were easy. The foxes however were new!

Although this set won’t be listed in my shop, I am happy to make it again upon request.

These have been on my to-do list for so long that I’m thrilled to finally have the full set (8 birds of each color) finished! I still haven’t quite decided if I like the solid color birds better or the painted ones.

WIP Wednesday: action tokens for Wingspan. These derpy little birds probably won’t be fully finished until next week but I’m already in love!

I just can’t help but admire how nice they look with my other Wingspan upgrades, and how nicely they bring the theme together. Can’t wait to play again!

This harvest basket turned out so cute that I can’t even wait to make the others before posting! I think this is one of my favorite upgrades yet.

This is for Agricola’s “5 food” token and there will be a total of 8. I’ll make each slightly different

Colorful miniature hand painted bowls and spoon upgrades for the board game Agricola, shown alongside the original “beggar” token that the game comes with. This set of 10 bowls is painted with blue and green patterns, although in the future I may make a set that matches the player token colors.

The front view of a colorful handmade polymer clay miniature sculpture of a brown-haired boy in a yellow jacket and striped pants. The boy is smiling while he holds an incredibly detailed yet tiny yellow Tonka dumptruck. The boy stands on a dark blue base.

The customer was kind enough to leave me a 5-star review with this feedback:
"Wow, Moin did a FANTASTIC job creating a custom robber piece for my catan set. It was so detailed, and she worked with me at each stage to make sure the product was coming together to my satisfaction. Super satisfied and would definitely recommend working with Moin!"

I hope you'll love them! Are you wanting the Time and necromancy runes included with this set? The life sized listing hasn't been updated to include them yet, but my shipment of purple clay should be arriving within the next few days

Necromancy and Time runes have now been added to the RS3 (and Both) sets on this listing: www.etsy.com/listing/7549...

Updates to other relevant listings are delayed:
- Life Sized Runes: need to purchase more purple clay
- Triple Rune Vial: need to test for optimal rune size

Holding my tiny handmade (and hand-painted) RuneScape runes and a small glass bottle with cork. 

This customer wanted a dark gray RS3 set that included all of the newer runes, so I added the four purple necromancy runes and the time rune to complete the set. When added to the bottle, there is enough space for the runes to tumble around, effectively making this a calming and nostalgic fidget toy for neurospicy RuneScapers

Had a special request to add newer RS3 runes (the 4 necromancy runes + time rune) to my rune bottle and was happy to oblige! I had to mix some new colors for the necromancy runes but I think they turned out to be a close match 😄

Three miniatures representing Subeta characters, sculpted by hand with polymer clay and acrylic paint:
Pete, standing on a gray base, wearing a gray t-shirt, black pants, and an apron that says “kiss the cook”. His brown hair is short and balding.

Sarah, standing on a yellow base, wearing a yellow dress with light blue waist ribbon. The texture of the dress gives the impression of a flowy, comfortable material. Her dark brown hair is long and tied off on the left side with a light blue ribbon. She has freckles on her face and a white daisy in her hair. 

The Wizard, standing on a blue base, wearing a blue wizard robe, round glasses (with real lenses!) and hat with light yellow trim and a white moon-shaped symbol on the front. He holds a wooden staff that curls slightly at the top, and wears bright pink bunny slippers on his feet. His full white beard and mustache give him an aura of wisdom. 

Each miniature is no taller than 1.5 inches.

Just a little throwback to one of my favorite personal projects: Subeta minis.

I hope to eventually revisit other Subeta characters and add more of these little sculptures to my collection, but in the meantime, here’s my version of Pete, Sarah, and The Wizard:

That’s a great strategy! I had a lot of empty spaces last year that I didn’t do the best job of making use of. I want to get a lot better about that this year. Every year is a learning experience! :)

I had teachers who would lecture those who finished early, especially if they spent time doodling. So I did the opposite and spent extra time re-reading questions, erasing and re-doing the same answers until at least 1/4 of the class was done. I always burnt through a ton of erasers 😂

My handcrafted upgrades for the adventurers in the Forbidden Island board game, sculpted completely from scratch with polymer clay, acrylic paint, and satin polyethylene sealer. The game has non-descript titles for each of these characters with no reference images, and I hated the generic player tokens, so I made up these original characters for my game. Left to right: Pilot, Diver, Messenger, Navigator, Explorer, Engineer.

This is what I made for the six Forbidden Island characters.
