Fun kids hats!


My friends kids had their birthdays last week. So as a fun surprise I made them both these cute kids hats. Left we have dinosaur and right we have bunny.
They loved them so much you couldn't convince them to take them off. Hurray!

Green Imp/Satyr Horn Prototype


These are my Imp/Satyr style horn prototype.
They are set as individual barrettes or can be put on cord to be tied around the head like a headband.


They were painted with acrylic paints. I did metallic green for the bottom coat then dry brushed a gradient going up from greens up to yellow tips.
Then they were sealed with a imitation glass textural element and varnish.

Unicorn Horn Prototype


This is a unicorn horn prototype I'm developing.
It was sculpted from super sculpey and then painted with acrylics.
I used a drybrush technique to make the horn look like real bone. Then did a light shimmery wash over the top.
It is then sealed with a imitation glass textural element and varnish.

I found that the unicorn horn stands too high to be used with a barrette so was instead attached to a white elastic headband. This held it much better.

Warcraft Troll Horde Mug



For mothers day I hand painted this pre-made stein for my step mother.
She plays World of Warcraft with me and has a troll frost mage.
The front has the horde symbol and below says troll, the back side says "FOR THE HORDE!" and the handle has her characters name on one side with the class on the other.

Mothersday Handpainted Teaset



Hand painted this tea set for my mother for mothers day.
She loves spring so I went with a flower/springtime theme.
The stacking teacups are done alternating with tulips and daffodils.
The tea pot is textured to be flower like without actually having flowers on it. She loved the gift and was very surprised.

Please Mr. Wolf don't eat me!

Here is my new lamb style hat.
It was made with super soft white fleece, and then a regular pink fleece for the insides of of the ears.

Watch out for those shifty eyed lambs they might just be a wolf in disguise....

More Hearthstone pendants

Here is the hearth pendant I made for myself. My sister wire wrapped it for me and then I strung it on a black leather cord.




I like how the wire wrap looks on these although it does give it a much more feminine look.
So for my little bro i did the more traditional loop for his.
