Some days, Twitter is a simmering hellbroth. Other days, the landscape is made glorious by people like this.
Every now and then this random little post suddenly gets hold of an updraft and takes off again. There’s been over 1100 new likes and reblogs in 48 hours, after months of zero to six a day. Gosh, it’s almost as if we need something deeply human to gaze upon sometimes…
Lil’ chibi Stede Bonnet I made for my friend’s OFMD birthday party! This isn’t “quarantine craft” anymore I guess lol, but the materials are the same old polymer clay (sculpey iii, to save time I bought more colors than one this time ), painted with colored pencils, pastel, and acrylic, and finished with Testor Dullcote overall and mod podge for the eye. The tie thing is a real string. More process under the cut
*the show playing in the background* I actually did the OPPOSITE hand first like I always do in art akajshdkashd and had to make this TINY hand again
My mom threw out our small convection oven (which I’ve used to bake all my other polymer clay) ever since we got an air fryer, and the big conventional oven takes too long to preheat so…after some brief research I decided to go for it and put Stede in the air fryer lmao. He survived beautifully.
Did another Atlas and P-Body wedding cake topper set. This time they are slightly larger, and together on one base, holding hands. Really happy with how they turned out. I hope the wedding is fantastic!
