Below you'll find three different custom sculptures I've been working on. None of have them been glazed fired, but are as I type. All the colors will be darker, the grey on Doc is actually a beige color after firing. All will have a glossy glaze.

Thanks to a custom order we have a new pose - the LOAF! As in breadloaf. Stoli sits like this all the time. Enjoy!
The bulk of my sales at Endless Whimsy are custom orders. Someone comes into the shop and decides they would like to have a sculpture in a different color than is currently available; someone wants a sculpture to look like their pet; someone wants a special set of something.....
I love do work on custom orders but I've just now realized that they are very taxing to the brain. Especially the ones where it's imperative that the sculpture look very much like their pet. I should try to limit the amount that I'm working on so I still have time to make stock for the store.

So the ears were really important to get the size and placement just right. Also, this adorable pooch has incredible eyebrow patches. I love his white tummy and his pointy tail. I used solid black polymer with a gold/brown mix and white accents. I love this puppy and I love this pose. I guess things like this make custom worth totally worth while!
Custom Orders that is,
I've been meaning to start adding listings to Etsy for 'custom orders' for people who want a specific color. It's always great when people convo you for specific sculptures, but just time consuming when it's something you don't have in stock. You have to make the new listing, and then make the sculpture. This way I have a generic listing and people can just tell me the colors - rather than me having to create a new 'reserved' listing.
I think it will be easier all around for everyone! Can hardly wait to get those listings up for medium, large, frolic, catnap, stretch......
Here's the newest custom order at endless whimsy - a beautiful pointed Siamese.... This is probably one of my favorites. It's made out of beige polymer clay and hand painted with black, van dyke brown, and white. Oh, and a little blue for the collar!
Endless Whimsy is proud to be able to provide custom orders - Bright, brilliant colors and near-to-life colors. If you can dream it, we can sculpt it: imagine - rainbow bridge memorials; tabby, tortie and tuxedo tributes, specific pose artwork....
Below are samples of various custom orders to give you an idea of what other customers have sought.
