Shadowrose Christmas Decoration

Post by shadowrose45 »

Hopefully, I did this correctly. No promises.

Each year, even if I'm gone ages, I have to come at Christmas for the beautiful Christmas tree. So, this is my entry: The Holiday Turtle Tree.

It is made with polymer clay (UN-BAKED!!) and a bit of garland for the tree. Presents are just foam wrapped as mini-presents.

The 'lights' that don't show well on the tree are bits of the clay painted with eye shadow. WIsh they had shown up better. I kind of cheated on the candy cane and just used a colored pipe cleaner.

I used one of my sculpting tools to get the intricate design on the turtle--again, probably doesn't come through, LOL. I am so not an artist--but it was fun!

He's going to be baked, glazed and I'll use the 'tree' to hang him :)

Excuse the mess! This was taken in my craft room, as I was afraid if I moved it before it was baked that it would fall apart on me.

thanks, guys :)

I made a coal wyrm, too, as they are one of my favorite all-time pets here. Will have to take a pic of it when it's baked and glazed. I did the baby coal rather than the adult. It's sooooo tiny.
16/25 Thanks
