Looking for a creative outlet to balance her day job as a music teacher, Renovia Marro began sculpting polymer clay kitties and launched her Etsy shop Endless Whimsy. Her two cats Stoli, a Russian Blue, and Luxor, an Egyptian Mau, serve as her muses.
The sculptures have a simple style that captures the feline essence perfectly. In addition to working in polymer clay, Renovia also makes hand painted porcelain figurines. She will even customize a sculpture to match your own cat based on photos that you send her. 10% of all sales at Endless Whimsy are donated to the Homeless Animal Rescue Team of Maine, a feline shelter and adoption center in Cumberland, Maine.
BONUS GIVEAWAY Three winners!
Renovia is offering a polymer clay kitty sculpture to each of THREE lucky Moderncat readers. The winners will even get to choose a color from the palette below. To enter, please leave a comment on this post. The drawing will take place on August 26. This giveaway is open to readers everywhere!

I collect vintage cat sculptures and this is the first time i have come across something new that would look great in my living room. adorable!!

These are so cute, I may have to keep them somewhere away from my actual cat, as she seems to try to ‘knock off’ any fake cats I keep in the house… she broke a leg off a wooden cat figurine!

These Tiny Cat Sculptures are seriously cute! I love how the artist can customize them, too.

These sculptures are adorable. I especially like the idea that these can be modeled after your own kitties.

These are so simple and adorable! I really like the ones with the flowers on their behinds (especially since that’s the end they are going to present anyway).
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:01 am
Very cute! Love the iris colour.
August 22nd, 2009 at 11:06 am

All things kitty! I am inspired when I hear how others creative tendencies are influenced by the things they love. While I have worked with polymer clay, my critters are more bubble blob critters. Thank you for sharing your talent.
August 22nd, 2009 at 3:37 pm
Those are so cute.
August 22nd, 2009 at 3:48 pm
How on earth would I just pick one color?!?
August 22nd, 2009 at 4:16 pm
These are great and a wonderful use of polymer clay. My sister makes beads from polymer clay and has always had great results.

Very cute! If I won a cat, I’d chose the poppy color and call the cat “Poppy”.
August 23rd, 2009 at 10:20 am
This cute little kitty would fit in perfectly with my other kitty creations.
August 23rd, 2009 at 11:08 am

Wow! These are lovely!
August 23rd, 2009 at 6:00 pm
Well, I have two black & white tuxedo kitties, a black & gray classic tabby, a gray & white tabby, a Calico mixed with tabby and a dilute Tortie …. what color goes with all of those? Maybe I’ll just get orange to go with my nail polish ….
August 23rd, 2009 at 7:15 pm
