Sculpted By Susy

Sculpted By Susy I’m a Dunedin-based artist creating handmade polymer clay sculptures — from custom pet toppers to unique keepsakes, characters, and miniatures.

Welcome to Sculpted by Susy! It all started when I wanted a wedding cake topper that looked like our dog, Nyx — but every option I found was overseas and incredibly expensive! So I made a couple myself… and fell in love with sculpting tiny clay creations. Now, I sculpt anything that makes you smile — whether it’s your pet, your partner, or something completely one-of-a-kind. Each piece is carefull

y shaped, painted, and sealed by hand whilst remaining affordable!

I loved receiving photos from one of my very first customer, Gemma’s, wedding featuring the custom pet cake toppers I made — two cats, Guinness and Charlie, and Alex the Labrador 🐾

It’s so special seeing them sitting on top of the cake on the big day, and knowing they’ll be a keepsake afterwards too.

Thanks so much for letting me be part of your day, Gemma! 💍

If you’d like your pets turned into a custom wedding topper, feel free to send me a message.

Another order boxed off today for a Maltese toy poodle and Mainecoone munchkin cat. A last minute colour changed was required for the cat, but I think they turned out quite well in the end 🙂 🐶 🐈‍⬛ ➡️ 🐈

Just wrapped up my second order ✅ for three custom wedding toppers: Guinness and Charlie the cats, plus Alex the Labrador 🐾

Really enjoyed bringing these three to life in polymer clay. It was my first go at making cats and I’m pleased at how they turned out! 😺

If you’d like a personalised topper of your pets, feel free to message me.

First order completed ☑️. I was asked to create a firefighter as well as lovely Bo the dog! 🐶 👨‍🚒

If you are interested in getting a custom polymer clay creation, the below should be helpful in narrowing down what you're after:

Topper prices range and depend upon a number of factors:

Size: 3 inches (~8 cm height) is the most popular size requested. Smaller sizes are possible (within reason), but will cost the same as a 3" topper. The larger the size of the topper, the greater the price.

Detail/pose required: Sitting pose is the cheapest, standing adds on a bit more to the cost, and all other poses (e.g., play bow with a ball) will incur the greatest cost. Any extra detail requested beyond collars or coat markings will also incur extra cost. Note, fluffy animals will incur an additional cost due to extra clay required.

Logistics are that once all details are ironed out and a price is agreed, you send through some pictures of your pet(s) in a variety of poses so I can catch all their markings and special quirks. I then create the topper(s) and send you pictures once they're completed to check you're happy with the way they look. Once you're happy, payment is transferred and, once payment received, I'll post them out to you :).

If you would like a topper, please contact me for an exact quote.
