New in the Studio – Space themed items

The Polymer Clay Smoosher’s challenge theme this month was “Space”.  I created two items and posted them late last night.

First, a rather irritated alien lady.  She has three eyes, and glows in the dark:

My second item, is a stylized Blue Moon pendant, which also glows in the dark:

They’re both made with glow in the dark polymer clay.  The alien lady’s eye stalks are clay covered head pins, anchored into the clay.  For the Blue Moon pendant, I shaped it by hand and added the crater shapes with some tools, then sanded & buffed it after baking.  Last I added some blue acrylic paint for a patina and re-buffed it after the paint was dry to bring the shine out again.

Sometime today, our guild leader will put up a post with the rest of the submissions by our guild members for the Space theme.  Go check them out!
