HOW THEY'RE MADE

Every clay miniature is hand-sculpted from polymer clay, which is a smooth porcelain-like clay that allows incredible detailing. Then the piece is baked (in many stages as more detail is sculpted on to it), handpainted with acrylics and other paints and glazed.

I use a few specialty tools but the main ones tend to be what you see in the photos: simple wood toothpicks, a manicure stick and a few of my own special made tools - wire for the armature, glass beads for eyes and acrylic & other paints and glazes.

Many of the figurines have a moving part - an Originals by LE trademark, which is built-in before the piece is baked. You will find animated examples throughout this site.

Here's an example of one with a moving part. As you can see, the 'Playing Dress Up' kitty lifts her arm to put on lipstick.
