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!
