Hello, how are you? This week has been a hell for me and making me feel unproductive and productive at the same time and for sure I need to touch some grass to ease this tightness I feel on my chest to comfort myself I made Gloom because the mood is very gloomy this week and I wanted a Heartbroken Gloom this time and I have this idea of what if that broken heart have like a stapler and to make it better I added fake blood in the middle of it to make it more realistic and I really like to experiment and I did.
So today I am going to make Brokenhearted Gloom, and I really enjoy making it.
First is to condition the clay with my hand to make the texture smooth.
Shape it and smooth it around my hand, and then, using my needle tool, I shape it into a heart shape.
It doesn’t have to be perfect, and just make it heart shape, and then using my metal ball, I made a dent using it to where Gloom’s head will be placed.
And then, back with the needle tool, I added a cut texture around the heart. This is where I am going to add those stapler pieces and fake blood.
For the stapler pieces, I use the eye pins and then bend and cut them using my two pliers.
After bending, I cut it with pliers.
And then one by one, I added it onto the cut I made earlier. Set it aside for later.
For the head of Gloom, I used a skin tone clay and then conditioned it just like I did earlier.
Shape into a bean-like shape.
And then I grab the heart I made earlier and put the head I made onto the dent I made earlier.
And I made a map of the part of his face using my dotting tool.
To make the eyes, eyebrows, and lips, I use this clay cutter to make them of an equal size.
Then I added the eyes one by one.
Then the eyebrows.
For the lips, I use a pastel pink clay and then shape it into a triangle, and then put those on the face.
And then I cut just the bottom part, just half of it, using my X-Acto Knife.
For the lips, I roll a thin clay and cut it, and I put on one by one.
I added the blush. I use soft pastels and a brush. I apply it to both cheeks and nose.
Then I added the eyepin.
Bake the clay in a preheated oven, then set the timer and temperature to what the instructions on the back of the packaging say.
To make the fake blood, I mix a dark red and a UV Resin and apply it using a toothpick, and then cure it under a UV Lamp for a few minutes.
This is what it looks like.
And then, to make the clay charm shine, I use UV Resin and apply it with a nail polish brush.
And then cure under UV Lamp for a few minutes or until it is no longer sticky.
Then lock it using my pliers.
I hope you like it!
