*~Custom Decoden Phone Case Phase 1: Clay Charms~*

Charms, Decoden Leave a comment

o((*^▽^*))o Hi everyone and welcome back to the happiest corner of the internet :p

Last week I had the privilege of receiving a custom order for an iPhone 6Plus decoden phone case. ^^ It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside when people really like my work and want something made personally for them.

Anyways, I am trying to come up with a name for this case. It is going to have weapons, and Arashi logo, and Mario Brothers resin pieces, along with some sweets cabochons. Maybe Swords and Sweets? That sounds pretty cool.

Swords and Sweets: Weapons Edition.

Today I knocked out the clay portion of the cabochons for the case.

Here we have a Keyblade from Kingdom Hearts. This is the second one I have ever made, and it looks a loooootttt better than the first. I am really pleased with how it turned out :)

These are Link's Sword and Shield from the Legend of Zelda franchise. They were equally challenging to craft. I muse have re shaped the shield 10 times before settling on this incarnation! Oh my gosh, it was so frustrating. Y'all should have seen the first sword that I smashed back into a ball xD It looked so janky that I angrily smushed it up too. After 2 cups of coffee and some breathing exercises, these 2 finished products emerged, and I was pleased. *cue sigh of relief*

On the left is “version 2” and the right “version 1”.
I like 2 the most, what about y’all?

Next up on the case agenda will be the resin pieces, so I will post those up and a rough draft preview of the finished case! ^^

Thanks for checking out this post and have a wonderful day~! (ஐ╹◡╹)ノ

(*＾▽＾)／ Hi everybody! I am back with a pretty big update on the latest out of the Art Lab. Some day I think I will give y’all a tour of the place, how does that sound? :p

 ** Latest Sweets **

Texas Flag cookie charm hand

Because I am a Native Texan, I love this piece and wear it quite often! It’s my own design and just as unique as the kind of people you find in the Lone Star State.

This piece was made a few days before July 4th. I wanted something cute to wear to work that celebrated the holiday, and showed off my craft. :p

For some reason, I got the hankerin' to make cotton candy, so I picked up some fresh-on-the-markets powder and made this cotton candy!

Here’s another charm I made with the new powder. It’s a Mexican Cookie called Arcoiri, which means Rainbow, and their unofficial name is “the Snowballs”. These are quite popular as earrings and necklaces.

pink donut

This donut has been so popular and well liked that I am almost feeling too stingy to replicate it! hahaha Just kidding. I can make an army of donuts if the world so desires!

This is modeled after a Genoise Cake (ooooo fanccyyyyy). I've been having a lot of fun with layered cakes lately.

This cake.... I don't even know about this cake sometimes. I really wanted to make something with chocolate sprinkles, so I did. Then I really wanted it to have strawberries, so it does. Now that it's finished, it looks like some alternate dimension carrot cake O_o. To top it all off, somehow the frosting cracked on the big part. Like I said, I don't even know. This cake is totally not going up for sale, unless, you know, someone really falls in love with it haha.

** A Little Blogging Moment *

Let me take this moment to apologize for Vanna White-ing the entire post here. Currently my bakery and room scenes look like a tornado and earthquake came through… Would you like to see? xD

THIS IS THE MARK OF A REAL ARTIST AT WORK, PEOPLE!!!

THIS IS THE MARK OF A REAL ARTIST AT WORK, PEOPLE!!

I’ve got a couple new little scenes to build up, some pictures for an exclusive Sailor Moon room, plans for a little “outdoor market” type deal. and a Taj Mahal. Seriously, there is a Taj Mahal in that red box, I kid you not.

Really though, I’ve focusing so much on getting all my crafting materials organzied, and rearranging the entire room that the scenery has been on the backburner. After this week though, I will get it all set up again, then y’all can enjoy cute pictures sans hands. 🙂

Anyways, it’s way past my bedtime so I will be signing off. Stay tuned for the next resin update, and… KITTENS!!
