Zoological Illustrations of a Porcelain Clown with and without the removable face plate as well as the feeding parts of a Teacup Clown as illustrated by an unknown zoologist and early clownologist.

The Porcelain clown removes its face plate exclusively when feeding on snail shells. It has been observed that its musculature is covered by a delicate, translucent, skin-like membrane that secretes a porcelain or matte bisque-like calcium carbonate shell on its body and face, which is shed annually. Additionally, their teeth have been compared to those of the Black Drum Fish, as they are well-suited for crushing mollusk shells, enabling the organism to recycle the calcium carbonate for the development of its own armored body. The Teacup clown's rigid shell exterior is immobile and cannot be removed for feeding. Consequently, the clown has developed an adaptive feeding mechanism involving a proboscis, similar to the mouthparts of a mosquito. This structure includes a hypopharynx that delivers a digestive enzyme to the selected food, whether it is an insect or a scavenged sweet treat. The clown then uses the labrum to suction the liquefied nutrients for ingestion.

Hello aspiring clown owner!!! You asked in you're first post about good clown breeds and I am a die-hard teacup clown fan so I am here to recommend them to you! Teacup clowns of any variety are a favorite of mine and I especially recommend them for beginners because they're so small and therefore are able to more easily integrate into the balancing act that is the life of a new clown owner. Don't skimp on proper supplies and habitats though! Teacup clowns are small and do technically require less space but they're still clowns. I have found mine particularly enjoy their own smaller spaces to preen their ruffles and powder their faces as well as a big tent for performances and hijinks, though different breeds may need different facilities. I hope you find your new friend and good luck with your clown journey!

Thank you so much!! I will definitely be looking into teacup clowns more-- they seem like a good fit! And they're absolutely adorable from all the pictures I've seen of them!! Though I do have a cat, and I worry that if the clown is too small Hugo (the cat) might think that they're a new toy instead of a new buddy .... I do have the ability to keep Hugo out of a rather large room that I believe would have enough space for most clown breeds (it also has access to the fenced in backyard). Hugo is a really sweet, peaceful cat, but he does really love to play, so I worry that he might accidentally get too rough with something smaller than him. He grew up with other cats, so I know he wouldn't ever try to hunt any other pet, but, he's pretty big for a house cat (I think he might have a little bit of Maine Coon ancestry?) and I worry.

But thank you so much for telling me!!! You're an absolute delight my friend!!! And I'm so sorry I took so long to reply, I'm not very active on my phone, and I'm still getting used to the Tumblr platform

Little clowns at the thrift store :D

Good day! I’m in a bit of a predicament.. My neighbor got her first clown a week ago. She has to move and can’t find anywhere in her price range that will let her keep her clown. She decided to give me her clown.

This is Kelly!! Neither of us know her breed, but I think she’s got some teacup in her as she’s teeny! If anyone could give me any advice for taking care of her, that would be a huge help!

How To Make Your Own Clown Doll ! (A Guide)

Hello good people !!

I have made a few clown dolls before, and someone submitted a question asking if I followed any guide for them or had a guide myself. I sorta made it up as I went for the first doll, but I have learned better methods of doing things since then!

Here is my guide on how to make some dudes for yourself!

You will need:

Fabric for the body - I used an off-white fleece for the torso and limbs for this one, but have previously used a thin off-white sorta cotton fabric, which works better if you want floppier/thinner limbs!

Fabric for the clothes - Use whatever you want, honestly! I used some cool stretchy silver-metallic fabric for mine but have previously used cotton and polyester patterned fabrics !

Polymer clay - I used Sculpey III for this one, but for my previous two I used some other kind of Sculpey that was very very light and airy, which made it hard to sculpt properly without squishing it! If you want to add any detail to the face shape, use some firm polymer clay !

Posca pens (optional) and acrylic paints - Acrylics are used for the base coat on the head. I used the paints for the details too previously, but used posca pens on this one which was much easier to do the face details with! Either works just fine, though : )

Faux fur - for hair! If you want a bald clown or one with just a hat without hair, you don't need this!

Decorative trims and such - I used some pink frilly elastic trim, blue dotted non-elastic trim, white elastic frilly mesh, buttons, a silver bell and some blue velvet ribbon for this guy! You can literally use whatever you want (ribbons, bows, pom-poms, lace, etc) to make your clown look cute!!

Varnish - Use spray varnish if you can! It'll help prevent the face paint from smudging (all 3 of mine have had this happen using varnish with a brush). It is possible to use varnish with a brush on them but be careful with it! I used sculpey gloss varnish.

Tin/aluminium foil

Basic sewing supplies (needles, thread, pins, scissors)

Steps

1. Make a ball out of the foil, a little smaller than the size you want the finished head.

2. Cover it in a layer of Sculpey and sculpt the face shape you want. Include a pretty thick neck with the base at the bottom WIDER than the rest of the neck. This will be how the head is anchored to the body!

3. Bake the clay, let it cool, and sand it down so that it is nice and even without any finger-prints!

4. Paint a base coat on it with acrylic paints!

5. Paint/draw on whatever face details you want using acrylics or posca pens! Let your creativity flow!!

6. Varnish it!

7. Draw out the body pieces (torso and limbs) on your body fabric. You'll need two torso pieces, four leg pieces and four arm pieces. Honestly there's no method to what shape to draw, just draw what shapes you want them to be! (Remember to reverse each second piece though so that they match up when sewing them together). I used a rounded rectangle for the torso, and chose to make the legs on mine very long!

8. Cut out all the pieces and sew them together with the CORRECT sides facing INWARDS and the WRONG sides facing outwards. Once sewn, flip them inside out. MAKE SURE TO LEAVE THE TOP SIDE OF THE TORSO UN-SEWN TO INSERT THE HEAD!

9. Almost fully fill the body with plastic pellets, and only partially fill the limbs (I filled them about 1/4 full)! If you don't have those, use dry rice like I did (or dry lentils) or sand! If you use sand, ensure sure you make your stitches REALLY close together so sand doesn't come out of any gaps! If you want the limbs to be chunkier, fill them with more pellets OR stuff the rest of them with poly-fill or cotton wool!

10. Insert the neck into the torso and sew the opening tight around it, like this! The wide base of the neck stops the head from coming out : )

11. Sew on the limbs! The stitching doesn't have to be perfect here since the clothes will hide it!

12. Make the clothes! You can make whatever kind of clothing you like; I just made a baggy little jumpsuit sorta thing for my guy! To do this, I laid the clown out on the fabric and roughly drew the shape for clothes around him based on what I wanted! Flip it, lay it down in the fabric again and then trace this to get the second jumpsuit piece!

13. Use the same method of sewing the pieces together with the CORRECT sides facing each other so the WRONG sides are facing outwards. Then turn the clothes inside-out so that the right sides are now facing outwards! MAKE SURE TO LEAVE OPENINGS FOR THE HEAD AND LIMBS TO COME OUT THROUGH!

14. Put the clothes on the clown!!

15. (Optional) Glue fake fur on the top of the head in the style you want it! I used hot glue because I didn't have anything else, but fabric glues and all-purpose glues would be good too! If you don't want hair, just skip this step!

16. (Optional) Hat!! Cut out a wide triangle shape, sew the opposite sides together and then sew a circle to the base if you want a pointy hat like my dude's one (I don't have photos of this sadly but I'm sure there's a tutorial out there of how to sew a cone)! Then glue the base to the top of the head.

16. And finally, add all the trims and extra bits you want to make them look super cute !!! I just sewed on some ribbon to the base of the hat and around the ankles, sewed some frilly elastic trims around the neck, added a little silver bell to the hat, sewed frilly trim around the wrists and ankles and then sewed two buttons onto the front of his clothes!

And then, your little clown is done !!!

I hope this comes in handy to anyone wanting to make their own clown dude!

I would appreciate any reblogs and such of this to help spread the clown joy !!

Have fun !!!

(Small note! I would appreciate if you didn't copy any of my clowns directly! Please use this as more of a guide than an exact tutorial to make this specific clown! Being creative with yours is much more fun!! :•D)
