This article is a contribution from the cute girl "happy Chenhan" on the craft website. She uses ultra-light clay to make a chinchilla. He has a big belly and looks like he is full of food and drink. He is very cute! Thank you very much to happy Chenhan for sharing. She put aside her homework and was busy until after 8 o'clock in the evening to finish it. I hope it did not affect her study and rest (^o^)/~

I learned this Totoro in an elective course. It has been almost a semester, and I suddenly thought why not share it with everyone! I hope you who also love playing with clay will also like my work O(∩_∩)O ~~
