I've been working really hard on new ideas for my store. During my learning, digging and crafting, I keep running into dreads. It feels like I'm being haunted. I love crafting, I love making things and I loved making dreads. My big steamer survived...is that a sign? Should I keep making dreads? I can't here until December, but should I even bother?! It's no harder than any other craft, right? lol, its very tasking. But, the outcome is always worth it! IDK! Anywho, this is what i've been working on:
These are the creepiest damn things I've ever created. Being the creator, I can't tell if they are store worthy... I only used what I had: White Clay, black and white acrylic paint, gentian violet, cardboard, a pen and makeup. LOL ugly little bastards <3 I have a plan for the roses, I really hope it works out. Let me know what you think, I love you guys!!!!
Its better than polymer clay. It may even be cheaper in the long run! I've tried a bunch of different homemade clays and never had much success... Until I ran across This:
I had previously invested in a TON of school glue, so I gave it a shot… LOVED IT!!! It's so smooth and dries rock hard!! The ONLY issue I had was the sticky stickiness it has even after refrigeration, and I didn't know what to sculpt once I had this beautiful ball of clay in front of me.
If I get a hair up my butt, I'd love to actually MAKE nice little gothy charms with this stuff! SO NICE! Note: It was a little messy. Having to move quickly to transport from bowl to plastic wrap surface was a bit of a pain, but worth it in the end.
