About Me

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

For now over 12 years, I have been creating individually handmade miniature polymer clay sculptures. Since starting my craft in 2012, I've call my sculptures 'claybies', short for clay babies. Each piece I create is hand-sculpted, oven-cured, then hand-painted with artist-grade materials to achieve a individually unique 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), chasing after my toddler with endless energy, tending to my excessive collection of indoor houseplants, or playing the latest installation in the Pokémon series.
