Don't put them outdoors, and avoid permanent contact with sunlight. Also don't expose your figurine to extreme heat (110°C or higher) IMORTANT: Even after baking it can happen in some cases that there are some remnants of platiciser. The figurine can react with some plastic types (PS, PVC). It is recommended to avoid contact with such materials. Starting from August 2023 all figurines will be varnished on the underside to avoid a reaction with specific plastic types.
Use a soft and dry brush to clean the figurine. Delicate elements are flexible, but I still recommend not to bend, or hold the figurine on delicate elements. Please don't drop in and don't squeeze it.
I use a polymer clay (Fimo professional & effect) which hardens in the oven. After baking it is elastic to hard, but still not indestructible. I also use tin foil, wire, pastel chalk, mica pigments or glitter for some creations. I always use gloss varnish for shiny elements and matte varnish on painted areas. Realistic replicas are always painted with high quality Acrylics and sealed with a varnish. All my figurines are handsculpted by me. I use different tools to sculpt my figurines.
It takes me 30 minutes to many hours to sculpt my figurines.
Each figurine is priced individually. It all depends on how long I've worked on a creation, on the size, and complexity. There is a rough price overview for custom-made piggies in the menu.
You can see the price of all sold creations in my shop. WeeWheekys cost 12€ or 13€.
Please contact me first. I don't take responsibility for damages caused by wrong handling. Broken elements can be glued back on, but please talk with me first so I can help you the best possible. Not every glue is suitable for this material, and can cause more damage.
Those are collectibles, and shouldn't be given to children to play with. They are quite small and can be swallowed (choking hazard!). You know your child the best, so if you think that he/she can handle it with resposiblility then it's up to you. But I don't take responsibility if anything gets damaged.
I usually reserve commission spots for a quarter. I don't accept new customs when all spots are full. I inform about the commission opening under "HOME", and through my newsletter. If you want to place an order for a commission please get in contact with me, and I'll provide some further information. Please have a look at the informations for custom-made creations first.
You can select your desired payment option after filling out your address.
You can also pay in instalments. You have to select that option and I will send you a PayPal invoice. Then you can choose how much and how often you want to pay.
All payment options are listed at the very bottom of my website.
Sizes vary. My usual pegapiggies from the pegapig land are usually between 2.5cm and 4cm. Bigger piggies are up to 9 cm. WeeWheekys are under 2cm small.
No, I'm open for other animals/objects too. Pegapigs are just my main feature and the heart of pegapigsDESIGNS.
