| Karate couple with pets designed from customers photos. | |
 Photos at right were used to make clay toppers in the likeness of the bride and groom and their pets. Other photos were furnished in the karate pose and of the wedding clothes. Profile views are very important as well, to get a better likeness of the faces. |  (This couple wanted their figures to be in a karate stance with their favorite pet dogs.) |
| Joshua began sculpting at age 10. He was quickly discovered as a talented artist and was interviewed by numerous newspapers, magazines, radios and TV stations. You can read about him at (News & Events). Joshua began sharing his talents with others by offering workshops to kids and adults. At age 12 he published his first polymer clay instructional book to help others learn the basics in sculpting. (See Joshua’s book page) Joshua made his first commissioned topper for a friend at age 12 in 2001. Since then he has received orders from as far away as California and New York and everywhere in between. The cake toppers are challenging for Joshua, as each one is unique. Being a 14 year old boy, he has other hobbies as well, such as motorcyle riding, skateboarding, fishing and hunting. | |
 Joshua’s main tools are a pasta machine for rolling out sheets of clay for the clothes, an exacto knife for cutting parts, a needle tool and knitting needle for adding details. The rest is done with skillful fingers. |  A groom in stage 3 of completion. The heads are sculpted with the greatest detail first and then baked. Next, a body armature is made of wire and tin foil and wrapped in clay. Stage 3 is where the clothes begin to take shape. Sheets of clay are run through the pasta machine, then cut as you would material from a pattern and fitted onto the body. |
