That one with the coin for scale... Really lets you see how finely you detail these. Sadly I can never make lines so fine; very good job.

Thanks D.! I'm amazed and inspired by the macro/microcosmos, as you know we're a reflection of the Universe...A jungle in a slice of moss, our brain neurones as cluster of galaxies...
Here are some of the tools that aloud you to do intricate detail, on claybord...I would include a demo some other time..

I've been working all evening on this new inspiration, "amulet with two miniature, glow in the dark RC hands!" (FIMO oven bake-clay)
left hand done!

so check and wave those hands in front of you NOW!

sweet dreams!

ALL of that stuff is really cool!!

The hands also reminds me of the lyric, "Father Figure" for some reason?

Spoiler for Dream story.... :

The little hands reminds of a dream that I once about shrinking down to doll size and fall into a baby play pen. I recall that as soon as I fell into the playpen, the baby noticed. The toddler cooed and babbled, in the dream, as he crawled towards me. The whole plaything quaked in his wake. I recall that I could feel my heart beating faster and faster.
"No!! Me no good!!"
I tried to move quickly in the dream but, the kid grabbed me with his sticky chubby little hand. I can feel the pressure of the hand around my body, squeezing tightly. I could feel his hot breath on my skin, baby breath? He was going to put me in his mouth.
Then all of sudden, he stops and got all excited, still holding me in the dream. He flails his arms excitedly. All the while I'm getting motion sickness because of it.

Umm, what can I say..I can't help it? Like I have said before I have some dream experiences, with shrinking and things like that. *Shrugs* Some people love flying or other things and my thing is shrinking and growing, among other things. Sorry for my stories...

Sorry I bored people enough... Back on topic..

No sorries, thanks for the awesome I insight! What a dream!..Got to check that Father Figure"..I believe I was showing that hand in my dream, last night; don't remember much about it..
I need to make the right hand and stay aware while I'm creating it..!
By they way you're already famous in the dreaming world!

So, I met with a great empath friend of mine, through Zoom and she said she had been focusing and reflecting about a sculptue or painting she has at home, it has 3 hands; a hand within a hand, first the baby's hand, the mom, and last dad.. that was couple of RC's!
She told me this after I showed her the clay hand, I created...so she suggested me, with her hands to make the next one showing three fingers, I said yes!, just like making a mudra...so I did it!

Thanks moon!, great ideas!..Got to say the design has changed quite a bit, specially on the back of the left hand..this some how has created more awareness, and more vibrational energy put onto the hand. Therefore I will carry that awareness of finding both in my dream state..
I also have included the mantra "on ha hum" (did not used the "hung" syllable)..also included 3 eyes!

thanks amigo, I cleaned the studio again and hope to burst all that creative force, haven't paint in about
two years?! ...I go and look and no date or signature on any of them, I guess it does an RC...!

Haha! It was a dream where I came upon a dead body the dream and saw a very similar image in the dream... I think it was a dream seeded type of situation.

Looking forward to seeing more of those pictures...

I have barely painted in the last two years too despite making a remark around that time about how I'd have something to do during quarantines and lockdowns. That came to bite me by actually losing my acrylics workspace and having other stuff to deal with that meant I generally couldn't anyway.

So it's very good to me to hear that you've got your studio fresh and are ready to go again, I'll be interested in seeing more of your stuff too.
