What better thing to make my sweetie for his birthday than a sculpture of his self-proclaimed spirit animal, the sloth.
Because these critters are never seen out of their favorite trees, I knew I had to make Mo as a wall sculpture, clutching onto a branch. But to address the desire to hold the fuzzy guy, I made tiny eyelets that attached to little hooks on the branch:
Also, thinking about how iconic the toes of the sloth were, I wanted them to be perfect. And what better way to make them exactly how I wanted them then to make them out of fimo dough, which I baked in the oven and painted with a periwinkle enamel.  I really liked how he turned out, and even more important, my sweetie loved him too!
