Clay Tardigrade Sculpture | Star Trek Discovery

Today I share something a bit different that I made recently!
                            

     
More photos of the finished sculpture towards the end of this blog post.

               

Any fans of Star Trek, in particular the new show, Discovery, will hopefully recognise my sculpture!
                   

The creature which inspired my sculpture, "Ripper" the Tardigrade from Star Trek Discovery

The process was long, but so so enjoyable. I'll definitely pick up clay again for another project.  I took a few "during" photos for those interested.
