Skull Beads

I have not been making anything yet this year as all my supplies are temporarily boxed up while my new craft room/studio area is being built.

I recently lucked out and found a bit of fimo clay in the upstairs office. I decided to make some little skull beads with it. (pictured below with a Canadian quarter for size reference) They still need paint… I like how they are all unique.

Small Skull

In October I tried making a little skull with plasticine clay. Though its not exactly a correct skull and it has odd teeth, I was pretty happy with it.
I made a mold, and cast it in resin. I made a few solid resin casts and a few foam filled. I love the weighty feel of the resin ones!

This little guy is just drying now, I will probably put him into my Etsy shop after he has been sealed.

On the ‘Work Bench’

Something I started last January and worked at a bit today while waiting for other projects to dry….


This project began with a polyurethane skull, but I cut it and carved at it so much I might as well not have used it to begin with. Pulp mache base and some Paperclay on the main face features. This is the first project I’ve applied Paperclay to. I have to say, it sure is nice to work with.
