I know that people love the goodies around Christmas and I decided to zombify one of our classics: gingerbread men! They are all handmade and created from polymer clay, acrylic paints and a touch of patience. Their eyes also glow in the dark!

For sizes, the smallest is under and inch and the biggest is barely over an inch. They are great for fun Christmas ornaments, keychain's, or humorous necklaces around the holidays!

Fear

As promised, I decided to create another Cyclops pendant again! This time, I decided to put a theme with it: fear. I wanted to capture fear and put it into the pendant itself. I hope that I succeeded and that you will see what I'm talking about.

I have recently been playing around with emotion in my projects. I think this latest project, helped me focus on molding the clay to express itself. If these pendants become a fan favorite then I will make about five total.

My next idea is to do mouths and lips. I don't know how I will execute it, but I hope that I will capture emotion in that as well. I have only started to work with polymer clay since October, I hope to improve by this coming Halloween.

Here is my project "Fear" that I have been describing to you. I hope that you enjoy it and look forward to more cyclop pendants!

Surreal inspiration...

This is my first post, so it will be a short one. I have been busy with my horror creations. My recent horror creation, was inspired by old movie posters. I don't recall, what this one was inspired by exactly, but the image itself was stuck in my mind all night.

I wanted the skin to look real and I wanted the eye to look like it had been suffering. I wanted the wearer and admirers to feel something for the pendant. I have been striving to capture personality in my pieces and I think that the "Cyclops" pendant helped me do just that!



I hope that you can see what I was trying to capture. I want to make more surreal pieces like this and I think I will turn this into a series.

I suppose you're wondering how I made this? I layered the skin and made my own batch of blood. The eye is bought locally and I drew the design myself.

I think that my art has improved over the past year. However, I wouldn't be this confident, without the support of my family and friends. I recently met some good people on Etsy and I'd like to give them a quick shout out.

Thank you for supporting me and believing in my work. I couldn't have done it without you guys!

If there are any horror artists out there, please contact me! I'd love to connect with other artists in my genre.

I guess that's all I have for now, but I will make another post tomorrow. I have a lot to show you guys!
