Miniature handmade partyhats in a small glass bottle with a cork and classic metal Christmas ornament hook.

Miniature handmade RuneScape partyhats in a tiny glass bottle ornament with a cork and braided gold and white twine.

Made two new Christmas ornament variations of my RuneScape partyhat keychain today ❤️

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.

#boardgame

58 handmade game tokens: 50 white sheep, 4 black sheep, and 4 foxes. The sheep have curly bodies and either rounded or long droopy ears. The foxes have vibrant orange bodies with an white chest, inner ear, and muzzle. The foxes also have a tiny black nose.

The cover of a board game box: Sheep & Thief. In a cartoon woodland scene, a smug fox is escaping with two sheep, one under each arm, while a sheepdog blows a whistle and chases them.

Handmade game token upgrades: 4 foxes pictures alongside a black sheep and white sheep outside in natural lighting. The sheep have curly bodies and either rounded or long droopy ears. The white sheep have white bodies and a light peach colored face. The black sheep have black bodies and a dark gray face. The foxes have vibrant orange bodies with an white chest, inner ear, and muzzle. The foxes also have a tiny black nose and a defined smiling mouth.

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.

Solid color polymer clay birds to be used as replacements for Wingspan’s cube-shaped action tokens. These derpy little birds are made in vibrant colors: red, yellow, green, blue, and purple, with varying colors of beaks. If they’re a must-have for your collection, be sure to check out my Etsy listing: https://madebymoin.etsy.com/listing/4390961151

Painted and sealed polymer clay birds to be used as replacements for Wingspan’s cube-shaped action tokens. These derpy little birds are made in vibrant colors: red, yellow, green, blue, and purple, with varying colors of beaks. They are then painted with acrylic paint and brushed with a slightly shiny polyurethane sealer to protect the paint from wear. If they’re a must-have for your collection, be sure to check out my Etsy listing: https://madebymoin.etsy.com/listing/4390961151

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.

Adding red wings to a miniature cardinal. Blobs of clay and an assortment of other partially completed birds are pictured in the background. #art #wingspan #boardgame #polymerclay #sculpting #bird

The original action cubes alongside the bird upgrades I’m working on. (Purple and yellow still need beaks and wings)

All of my Wingspan upgrades so far: birds, berries, fish, mice, worms, nectar, sunflower seeds. Everything available in my etsy shop (except the birds, which will be added next week)

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!

Miniature handmade flowers in assorted shades of pink, featuring yellow stamen/pistil and a green stem end. Some flowers are flecked with bright pink paint, while others are a solid color.

These are my upgrades for Wingspan: Oceania’s nectar tokens.

Next up: I am working on upgrades for the Wingspan action cubes. Maybe tomorrow I’ll even share a WIP ;)

Thank you!

Eight miniature dark brown harvest baskets filled with assorted handmade polymer clay bread, fruits, and veggies. The assortment includes: white bread loaves, corn on the cob, leeks, red & gold potatoes, pumpkins, leafy greens, carrots, tomatoes, spicy red peppers, sweet potatoes, yellow apples with red flecks, and red beets.

The generic Agricola “food x5” tokens alongside my colorful little harvest baskets: Eight miniature dark brown harvest baskets filled with assorted handmade polymer clay bread, fruits, and veggies. The assortment includes: white bread loaves, corn on the cob, leeks, red & gold potatoes, pumpkins, leafy greens, carrots, tomatoes, spicy red peppers, sweet potatoes, yellow apples with red flecks, and red beets.

WIP Wednesday: These harvest baskets took quite a bit more sculpting time than I expected but I think the results were so worth it! These colorful little handmade upgrades will replace the eight “food x5” tokens in my copy of Agricola

A tiny harvest basket filled with corn, a pumpkin, leeks, gold and red potatoes, and leafy greens

A tiny harvest basket alongside the board game token it is intended to upgrade/replace: Agricola’s cardboard “5 food” token (which is an empty plate that doesn’t actually have any food on it, oddly enough)

WIP for the other 7 baskets: leeks, apples, sweet potatoes, leafy greens, and gold and red potatoes (next to a US dime for scale). Not pictured but currently in the oven: Miniature pumpkins, spicy peppers, tomatoes, carrots, and corn #polymerclay #handmade #veggies

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.

Colorful blue and green miniature plates and spoons, handmade with polymer clay and painted in alternating patterns.

Finally finished up these tiny empty bowls to serve as a cutesy replacement for Agricola’s beggar tokens. Next up: I am making upgrades for the “5x food” Agricola tokens.

Miniature rolls/loaves of white and brown bread, with assorted scoring patterns and hand-painted shading. Made with polymer clay. This photo also shows the original food token from the Agricola board game for comparison.

A WIP view of my workspace, showing the tiny loaves of bread before they were baked (but after coloring was added)

WIP Wednesday: 36 little bread tokens to replace Agricola’s generic “food” token (which interestingly enough has no food depicted on it 🤔)

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!"

The side view of a colorful handmade polymer clay miniature sculpture of a brown-haired boy in a yellow jacket and striped pants. This angle shows off the jacket's hood and pockets, as well as a front view of the Tonka truck. This angle also shows that the boys hair is shorter in the back than in the front.

The side view of an impossibly tiny Tonka dumptruck that I made from scratch by layering polymer clay. My thumbnail is in the photo to show scale (the truck is no larger than my trimmed thumbnail). #tonka #dumptruck #polymerclay

A recently completed fully custom commission. When starting this project I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to pull off making a Tonka dumptruck this small.... but I'm so pleased that I tried, because look at how wonderfully adorable it turned out! 😍

28 large handmade and hand painted RuneScape runes being held in an open hand. The runes are made from polymer clay and have vibrant eye-catching colors that closely resemble the in-game items. This set included the newer runes that have been added to the game (time rune and four purple necrotic runes).

They’re on their way to you now, but while you wait to receive them, I thought you might enjoy a little peek to showcase how they turned out!

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

Thank you! Yes, I will definitely be adding this option to a few different listings. Aiming for Monday latest.

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 😄

I'm certainly not the best at writing ALT text, but I do try to include it. Hopefully it's a skill that will improve with time and practice 😂

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. #subeta #miniature #fanart #polymerclay #sculpture

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:

Tiny handcrafted items made to resemble the tradeable rares in RuneScape: partyhats, Halloween masks, a Santa hat, Christmas cracker, Easter egg, and pumpkin spill out of a small glass bottle. The assortment of items are made by hand with vibrantly colored polymer clay and painted with acrylic paint. #runescape #osrs #miniature

Finished up a small batch of these tiny RuneScape rares today

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’m growing several different varieties of sugar snap pea (we’ve tried a few each year for the past few years; so far our favorite has been Super Sugar Daddy). Later this year I’ll add some bush green beans

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 😂

Four tiny hand-painted bowls with miniature spoons made from polymer clay alongside the original cardboard “beggar” token from Agricola #agricola #boardgame #polymerclay #handcrafted #miniature

On the back I painted the -3 point loss that these tokens grant so that I won’t have to reference during scoring.

Imperfect handmade mini bowls containing nothing but a tiny spoon

I wasn’t a fan of Agricola’s beggar tokens, so I made these empty bowls to replace them. While taking these photos I realized there are supposed to be 10 instead of 4 🤦🏻‍♀️

They’re so cute! They make me imagine a whole solar system of these plushies on a baby mobile 😍

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.

My Forbidden Island characters shown on the game tiles. I love that the vibrant colors do not look at all out of place — they truly feel like they belong with this game!

One of my big hobby-related goals is to make high quality hand-sculpted upgrades for all of the boring board game pieces in my collection:

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

I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone else describe this before, but you definitely aren’t alone.
