These Are Just So Cute,

and delicate,


 all photographs © Fanni Sandor, who is Hungary-based biologist and artist, 

 from minuscule baby blue jays,

 to lizards,

and a waddling family of mallards,

 inspired by her background in biology, the miniatures feature incredibly accurate details, and most fit easily on the tip of a finger, and the beautiful pieces do not happen overnight, this robin’s nest alone took three days,

  they are all so cute, 

Sandor will spend anywhere from two days to two weeks on a single piece, Her process begins with collecting photographs of the species before sketching a prototype. Forgoing molds, the artist employs embossing and pin-ending tools to sculpt the animal figures from polymer clay and wire, after baking, she will add a few more details, paints, and attaches the fur and feathers where necessary, in 2016, Sandor become a fellow at The International Guild of Miniature Artisans. To follow her upcoming projects, head to Instagram, and if you want to own one of these mini masterpieces, have a look at her Etsy page, but you have to be quick as Sandor has a large following of eager collectors!
