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: moon pendantglow in the dark moon 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!
