I have spent so much time exploring (legitimately) super-expensive works of art lately that I thought I owed you an inexpensive treat. I was looking for a thank you puffin (as you do) on Etsy earlier this month, and I came across the wonderful, tiny world of Etsy seller MadeWithClayAndLove.

These wonderfully-designed, minimalist beauties are the clay equivalent of the crocheted animals of SuAmi, and I want them ALL. Artist Melissa McCarthy had this to say about her art:

“I have always loved animals and tiny things! I have been making miniatures out of clay for 8 years, and I find there is always something new to try and more to learn!”

I look forward to more from this wonderful artist!
