Little shiny happy clay people

[marycrawford]

I love it when fans make fannish crafts. One of my favorite comms is crafty_tardis, for Doctor Who crafts (motto: For when you absolutely, positively must have a macrame Dalek). There's never any shipping wank, just people posting pictures of crocheted Daleks or their kid dressed up as the Tenth Doctor for Halloween (this one is seriously adorable).

Another comm I've just discovered is claycreations. This isn't actually a community - it's where vandonovan posts his clay puppets of various fannish favorites, and they are fab.

Check out his clay versions of Avon and Vila, Zoe and Wash, Sam and Dean and my favorite - Kirk, Spock and McCoy. I love Kirk's smirky grin and Spock's hands-behind-back stance. <3

Those are incredibly cute. I wish he'd do an SGA set, especially John, Teyla, and Ronon.

Oh, yeah. I'm having tempty thoughts about Herc & Iolaus, or for that matter Jareth & Sarah, but it's rather above my budget. (He posted that he does commissions, a basic figure is about $30.)

Yeah, that's a bit much, though I can see why he charges that because it's probably a lot of work.

Yeah, I agree, and then there's cost of materials. I've just been trying to budget fannish expenses after buying quite a few old K/S zines this year. *G*

Yeah, I'm saving now for Christmas presents, though I just bought four paperbacks from B&N for "Buy a Book, Save the World." They were just delivered along with the SGA season 4 guide I preordered, so it was kind of like Christmas came early for me. :)
