Do what you usually do

in payitforward •  5 years ago  (edited)

I cannot say that I enjoyed making this post. I really feel uncomfortable with all the drama going on in our community. But, this is not the time for me to falter and stop what I usually do and that is, making content. So here is what I had been making for the past few days:

I finally made the leap back from air clay to polymer clay and, I have to be honest: I feel that I have just came back home. Not that air clay is a nasty medium. Its just that polymer clay were really intended for making charms and sculptures and, making details had been a breeze. I am not yet that confident to make my usual intricate ones but, at least I know that I still got it. Here are some of the others I made:

I know. I know that I am being mean for not sharing how I made these. At the time that I was making these, I did not even expect steemit to be like the ones I knew before so, I just made them.

They are collectively cured and, I have not yet sealed them off yet. They are ready to go but, I wanted to make them more sturdy by either applying a thin layer of protective gloss or polish- which I have not yet the time to buy.

So let's get down to business. Showing you guys how I made this:

This had been inspired by all the chibi kawaii charms that I kept bumping over the net. I thought that since I love bears, why not make a mermaid bear instead? I mean, I have not done anything like that before.

I started by mixing these two colors:

Mix and then shape like this.

Done. I did not bake it yet because I do batch baking. Its more practical, really. Don't worry. I will be showing how I do it though.....
