# About me
Hello! My name is Leilia(Lay-Lee-Uh)! I live in Central Florida, and work as a veterinary technician. The rest of my time is spent as a sculptor. I love spaniels, video games, sci fi tv shows and other generally nerdy things.I have always had a passion for art, but in November of 2010 I discovered my love for working with polymer clay. I first began experimenting with creating simple charms and figurine, but since then I have pushed myself to try many new and more intricate sculptures. I am constantly learning new techniques and trying to improve my work.

Hi there! Love your clay work!! Do you have an FAQ by any chance? I can't figure out what finishing coat to use for my sculpture work. I've heard to stay away from Krylon matte finish for being sticky, but I used it today on a test piece and nothing seems wrong, even on a very humid day. Any advice to a novice? Thank you!!

Hello! Thanks so much for the kind words! As for spray finishes, I have not had any issues using krylon matte finish. I use it for a lot of my work and have not seen any stickiness. I also sometimes use Testor's Dullcote if I want a completely matte finish, as the krylon still leaves a little bit of a shine. Hope that helps!

It really does, thank you!! May I bother you quickly again and ask if you use the krylon white primer before adding acrylic paint? Sorry for so many questions 
(Ok also random but btw I adore your fursuit

I do like to use Krylon primer. I typically use the gray primer because it is more neutral, but that is just a personal preference. The primer you do have to be careful using on more humid days, I have had that become a bit sticky on occasion.
And thank you so much for the kind words on my suit, I really appreciate it!

Oh ok, thank you!! (Yeah, I've been so paranoid with sticky primers and sealants possibly ruining anything! I just really needed to hear from a professional that it went ok! ;0; Hopefully it's ok if I live in a colder climate of Boston
And you're so welcome! It's not often that I see a Spaniel suit! The character is adorable in itself anyways!

I just thought I could rejoin DeviantArt after seeing so many inspiring works by amazing artists here!
Oh, okay! I do admit that publication on Instagram is much easier than on DeviantArt, haha..
