Snails Are Taking Over!!

Here is another snail..this one is for my fab cousin Meghan. She requested one, so of course I had to do it. I just realized..... none of these little suckers look the same!
This is Gwen the Space Snail. She is done is shiny, glittery, silver sculpy clay.
If you click on the picture...you get the giant size and can see the beautiful shimmer.
I added some rhinestones to her shell and bejeweled her cupcake as well.

Gumdrops!

These are the latest clay creation. I think these are my new favorite because they are super easy and quick to make!
A little Martha Stewart glitter makes them look sugary:)

Afternoon Clay Project

I decided NOT to go anywhere today so the kids wanted to do a project.
I have a ton of glass yogurt jars, so I figured we could do something with them.
We each covered the jar in clay that was pressed out with a pasta machine.
Keely's purple jar and Henry's brown jar were decorated with beads. We got them to stick well using Sculpy liquid clay. The clay was baked as usual, however I left the oven open a crack so that there was not so much direct heat. I was worried that the beads would melt!
I made the circles on my orange jar by making a roll of three different colors and slicing the roll.
I found all these techniques in THIS book, that we checked out at the library.

Florence the Snail

This little gal is for my Aunt. Her name, the snail that is, is Florence!
She has little flowers all around her and a big open mouth. I am not sure if she wants to eat the cupcake or if she is terrified by it!
The cupcake is very vanilla with orange sprinkles and a cherry of course!
I used Premo! Sculpty clay..it is a lot brighter and smoother then the regular but the same price oddly enough.
I hope she like's this, otherwise it's back to the drawing board!

LAdyBug!

This is the newest member of the clay family. Sara is a fancy ladybug complete with a flower on her head! I made her with sparkle red sculpty.
I made a cupcake for her as well but not thrilled with how it turned out. I added liquid sculpty to try and get the real cupcake sprinkles to stick but it did not dry entirely clear. She may need a new one.
I made this for my niece, who is having a ladybug birthday party!

Snail Friend

This is Pearl, she is a friend of the purple snail,Percevil.
My mom requested a snail for her desk at work so I made this little lady!
She is made with blue pearl sculpty and I added a coat of glaze to keep her shiny, as well as to keep the eyeballs on!
The cupcake is made with real cupcake sprinkles! I got tired of trying to roll tiny little balls.
I am trying to perfect the cupcake, this one looks a little more realistic then the one pictured with Percevil.

Enjoy Mom!!

MONSTERS!!

Another bunch of clay creatures, these guys are little monsters.
I think I am officially obsessed with clay:)
I also love monsters. The brighter the color the better. These are the friendly sort, I think.
I tried to make most of these pretty flat so I can make pins or something from them.
The first picture gives you an idea of size, The hand is Keely's.
Enjoy!

Owls...

Meet Jerome and Heidi! They are owls I made, again with Sculpty!
This is such fun stuff to work with. I am working on perfecting flatter pieces that can be used as pins or glued on art. Its much easier for some reason to make thicker items.

JellyFish!!

Meet Jane and Earl!
I can't decide if these are jellyfish or squid..but either way I love them!
These are my latest clay creations.
I am addicted to sculpty lately!
There are more photos coming. Stay Tuned.....
