Gingerbread Jar Lanterns | Polymer Clay

Hey all.  Today I'd like to share with you two Gingerbread houses I made before Christmas.  

Made around glass jars, the lid screws off and has fairy lights inside.

IGGY | McDonalds Christmas Advert 2021 | Sculpture

 Good evening all.  It has been a LONG time since I blogged and for that I'm sorry.  

I have been reasonably busy on my Facebook Page and Instagram in the meantime, but am hoping to post at least completed projects here on my blog too!

                           
    
I'm back today with this polymer clay sculpture of IGGY, the imaginary friend, from the 2021 McDonalds Christmas advert here in the UK.
