Karen Main (@dogzillalives) can create one of her bewitching, multi-tentacle polymer clay pieces in one day, with another day to paint them. Not bad for an artist who only began working with polymer five years ago just for the fun of it. “I was doing beadwork for a while,” says Karen, who lives in Pawcatuck, Connecticut. “There were cool things online incorporating polymer clay, so I started trying it. It’s easy to work with.” However the glass eyes, which feature so prominently in her work, are a bit more of a challenge. Unable to find them inexpensively, Karen started making her own and strives to keep making them more detailed. As for the slithery tentacles? “I have a lot of love for weird sea creatures,” she explains. Yet, while her sculptures might give some people goose bumps, she has no plans for Halloween. “I’m just normally very quiet and I don’t like to talk to people,” she says. “I sit in my own little world and make monsters.” Photo by @dogzillalives by instagram
