Me, remembering that it’s okay because I’m learning how to build and choose poses and that practice is how I’ll get good: :)

Finished a painting today! It took three days to make and I’d say im pretty proud of the results. It’s supposed to be a picture of a mountain range at sunset with a reflection in water that’s like a portal to another world but I guess it just turned into a night and day situation. Personally the “night” side is my favorite but making everything look somewhat symmetrical was hard :/

Oh yeah I made this based off of an ad I saw on Instagram and immediately started planning the sketch at 4am also I am on Instagram under the same name I might be posting more over there but the behind the scenes shit will definitely be staying here so if y’all wanna follow me on ig go ham

Today I added moss to the bottom piece and baked it for the third and final time. I also crafted the stairs and baked them too. I marked the spots on the bottom where i would place them but later Im gonna paint over the piece with a couple coats of paint. I also added two windows to the mushroom head and started placing dots all over. It was scary placing them on the windows since they were hollow. By tomorrow I should finish the entire thing and I’ll take some fancy photos~

Today I finished smoothing out the mushroom head and make it more triangular after deciding I didn’t like the sloped head oops. I think I’m going to attach some windows on the head later on but for now I put two windows and a door on the bottom piece. I forgot to put möss on before baking it so I’ll do that and bake it for a third time. I think I’ll start working on the stairs for the house tomorrow

(Dumb sandpaper rant)I never realized how important sanding can be to a piece until this project, because without sanding it, some of the lines has excess clay along the grooves and it felt pretty sharp and uncomfortable to hold but sanding it down really softens the price and gets rid of that extra clay so you have a refined looking piece. the scratches were very visible on mine (not sure how to fix that I may look it up later) but it doesn’t matter since it’ll get a couple coats of paint later.

I started out first by covering the entire glass jar with one layer of clay. I realized this wasn’t going to be enough, so I put on about 2 more layers on the bottom for a wider base and more mushroom-y silhouette. I’ll update later tomorrow but this is it for now!!!

I made another one! Though I’m not as pleased with the result of it, I still like it. I finally got some mason jars and I’m gonna try to make a giant one, though the lid piece won’t be 100% polymer clay like the mini ones. Maybe an aluminum core or paper mache?

Not a drawing but I made this mushroom home out of a tiny glass jar today and it is functional, the windows are see through and it’s pretty light weight. For next time I think I’ll make the base of the stem a bit wider and work on painting the spots more cleanly. Im really proud of how it turned out and maybe I’ll post others once I sculpt again. I included photos of the jar, the “before and after”, and the jar with the lid off. Do me a solid and do not claim this piece as your own, however if you want to make something like this yourself, you are 100% allowed to; its not my original idea and the original creator said was okay <3 I do hope to post more sculptures because I like doing more than just 2D art.
