I Made a Rattlesnake

Watch me sculpt & paint a Timber Rattlesnake Diorama using polymer clay & acrylics!
Welcome to the Mercurial Moxie! My name is Andrea, and I'm a clay sculptor. I enjoy creating art that is composed of both nature and fantasy. The armatures were made by me off camera using a combination of aluminum foil, armature wire, and painter's tape. Each piece is hand-made by me using polymer clay. The sculptures are hand-painted by me using fine acrylic paint. A coat of UV resin and/or varnish finish is applied.

When I saw the thumbnail I didn’t yet know it was you, I just saw the snake. It looks absolutely lifelike. Fantastic work and attention to detail.
