Lions! No tigers or bears...yet...oh my.

Yeah, so I didn't do any dishes today.

I used too much TLS as the coating for the black one. He's for a bracelet and you can see the ribbon already attached to the "normal" one. I'm wearing them for a test run. The TLS softened all the rough edges while allowing the shape to come through. All in all, I'm very, very pleased. That is wire mixed in with the black/silver. I'm not sure I like it, but we'll see.

I've been under a polymer clay rock...

Here's what I've been up to lately.





















Using a wide variety of YouTube vids, I managed to concoct my own recipe for a humanoid head. Notices that their a bit elven. One's mostly put together and I've built the armature for the other.



















Fun stuff, polymer clay. Addictive as heck.

Giving birth...to a dragon.

I really got into polymer-based clay at one point, but hadn't touched the stuff in six years or more. When KitKat wrote a paper about how much she liked watching me work with the clay, I got it out again. KitKat and I worked in tandem, constructing parts and working the clay until soft enough to use.

This is my first dragon, and it's got room for improvement, but the wings! I'd never done wings before, and we are very, very happy with how they turned out. KitKat had a good eye for the look of the dragon, but she loves her dragons and had a good idea of what she wanted. For more details and construction pictures, please go here.
