My etsy shop is live! ill be adding more things in the future but for now ive added one item. ill be selling all my handmade clay items so keep a look out when i update. i hope to create unique and cool looking things that are unique to me but still fun for everyone else to look at ^^
this is part of a collection im going to keep working on. wizard farm is a collection of fruits and vegetables that i grow on my wizard farm, they hold magical and unique properties, so beware..
Handmade by me, from Super Sculpey polymer clay, and painted with acrylic paints to resemble antique bronze. It measures 3 inches (10cm) in diameter. I sculpted onto a watchglass so I could get a curvature. The watchglass was removed after baking. It took me approximately 25 hours from start to finish.
A lot of fans talk about wanting a replica of Uhtred's sword. However, I wanted something more personal and meaningful to me. I had been planning to make this brooch for over a year now, and finally had the time and motivation to do so.
Progress photos and reference screenshots below the Keep Reading.
Progress photos. I rolled out the clay and molded it onto a watchglass. Then I printed out my sketch and used a pin to pinpoint the locations of the main features (the little spheres). Afterwards, it was just a lot of fiddly sculpting work to create the details. This was 100% done by hand; I did not use any molds or pre-created forms for this.
Painted version in indoor lighting.
Screencaps of the brooch. And you can see what I had to work with here, lol. Weird fact: his brooch changed color over the seasons! It was shiny gold colored in season 3, silver in season 4, and antique bronze in season 5. Don't know why it changed so much. Aldhelm's brooch is very unique and particular to him. He had a standard large bronze Mercian boar brooch in season 2, just like Aethelred, but for some reason that was changed to this one in season 3. It seemed to coincide with the change in his apparent personality, so I wonder if it was intentional or not?
Throwback Thursday to this piece I made a while back, before I had this Tumblr account!
I made a fan art sculpture of King from The Owl House because he fit so well with the rest of my sculptures. I’m still really proud of how he came out! Just like my other sculptures, I wanted to give him his own designs based on old New England gravestones. It took time to figure out what I thought would fit best, but I combined the patterns from two different stones to get the final result. It’s still my favorite pattern I’ve ever painted!
Below are pictures of the gravestones I referenced for the design.
The first gravestone is from 1728 and is in Middleborough Massachusetts. The second gravestone is from 1752 and is in Kingston Massachusetts.
What are some local birds you can find where you live? 🐦 As always, thanks for all the love on my birdie necklaces! These take me long to make, so your support is the best motivation! 🎃
There are still birdies looking for a nest on my shop 🍄 The chain, rings and clasps are made for stainless steel, so babes with sensitive skin should be safe 🖤 You can find them here guys!!
Alsoooo, this was my first time making acrylic necklaces too. I wanted to give these a try since there are some limitations with what I can do with the clay pendants and I already have so many ideas I want to try with acrylics too 👀
