As a child, we all sculpted animals from plasticine or salty dough, but not many have stayed passionate about it until adulthood. But artist Maikki Hurmerinta from Finland turned this hobby into her career. Her cute animals, made of polymer clay, will steal a way into any heart: watch what cute plump birds in crowns live in her collection!

There are other animals, for example, a funny lizard,

big-eyed hippo,

and a caring mother-penguin with an egg.

She has an unusual Zodiac Signs collection. The artist creates totem animal signs and inserts semi-precious stones that correspond to each zodiac sign in them. Here, for example, a fawn with a pearl for Gemini.

For Aquarius, she created such an otter with amethyst.

If you do not believe in astrology, you will like other figures for sure: for example, a cute hamster in a crown,

or a nice bunny.

Her collection has even more unusual animals: space dinosaurs,

flower unicorns,

and imaginary cuties.

Some animals are not only cute, but also practical. This creature can be used as a stand for rings.

Here you can see artist`s imagination: a turtle with a donut instead of a shell.

You cannot but be touched, can you? What animal would you like to see in artist`s collection? Let`s dream in the comments!
