About Me

My name is Ruby and I am a self-taught clay miniaturist and lover of all things in miniature.

For over 12 years, I have been hand sculpting and hand painting miniature polymer clay sculptures. Since starting my craft in 2012, I've collectively called my miniature works 'claybies' -- short for clay babies. Each and every piece I create is individually sculpted, oven-cured, then painted with artist-grade materials to achieve a unique one of a kind flair. My style is largely inspired by fond childhood memories of 90's video games, cartoons, and anime. I continue to be inspired today by a growing love for fantasy, nature, and pop culture.

When my hands aren't busy kneading a piece of clay, I’m likely giving belly rubs to my good boy Finn (as pictured above), tending to my excessive collection of indoor houseplants, or playing the latest installation in the Pokémon series.
