There was an extension to the workshop contest so I managed to get the pieces all finished. My photography and photoshop skills leave a bit to be desired but I was down to the wire for getting it posted. There are a few pieces I may one day re-do because of problems while baking or I just didnt like how they ended up, but overall I am quite happy with my first chess set.

Pieces made of polymer clay.

Edit: Someone pointed out on FB that I had the kings mixed up. Thats what I get for posting when so sleepy. Fixed now. And that the king and queen starting positions are wrong. Can't fix that one now. Foo.

How long did it take to make? I think it was around the 30 hour mark, give or take a few. There is no paint used, it is all done with the coloured clay. Every little spot and tiny little nail.

Edit Jan 8th 2018: Thank you everyone for all the kind comments! The majority of the set has been sent to new homes and I only have a few pieces that I kept for myself (plus a few pawns left in my Etsy shop) . I will be doing more figurines later this spring though and yes there will be choyas.

I made a few small changes to my quaggan chess set
* Adding a wooden frame to the board

* Added small reins to the knight's hobby horses

* Lightly flocked the bottom of all the pieces
