Hello, how are you? This clay I am going to make, I accidentally made it, but I have a high doubt I can make it again, but I can try. I like the challenge, and I don't know, I guess he is one of my favorites of all the gloom. The simplicity and cuteness are everything. And I have this idea, why not add a shiny glittery effect on it, and it made it better, it is like shining, but I don't know if you can see it in the photo, but it looks better on the IRL.
So I am going to make Star Gloom today, and I think I will gain a lot of muscle from conditioning the clay because this specific color is so hard, but that is a good thing for me because the harder the clay, the less dirt or dust can stick to it, so yeah. I am going to show how I make my clay charm, just like I did with the other I hope you like it!
I first condition the clay I am going to use. First, I am going to make the Star, which is the body of Glom. After conditioning the clay, I am going to weigh it.
I roll it around my palm until to smoothen the outer part. This should look like this.
I sculpt it into the shape of a star. It takes me a lot of time, but I keep doing it.
And then I place it on an acrylic stamping block, and then using the ball metal, I created a dent or hole in the middle of it. Set it aside for later.
For the head of Gloom, I am going to use a skintone clay just like I did earlier, condition and weigh it.
I roll it around my palm until it smooths and shape it into a bean-like shape.
And then I added those onto the dent I made on the Star. And then I added a map of where the eyes will be using my dotting tool.
For the eye, I flatten some clay and then, using this clay hole cutter, I cut out the eyes, eyebrows, and lips. And then I rolled it into a small ball and added those into the map I made earlier.
And then I added the eyebrows.
For the nose, I use a pinkish pastel color and then shape it into a triangle, and then I add those onto the head.
Then I cut the bottom part to make it look like a heart using an X-Acto knife.
For the lips, I rolled a thin line and cut two small pieces of it, and I added it carefully onto the head.
For the blush, I use soft pastels and a brush to add it to use it on both cheeks and the nose.
Then I added the eyepin.
And then bake it according to the instructions on the packaging of the clay instructed and then after baking, let the clay cool down.
I forgot to film the time when I added the glitter around Star Gloom, but yeah, LOL. To add a protective glaze to it, I use UV Resin on it.
Then I use a brush to apply the UV Resin equally and then cure it under the UV Lamp for a few minutes or until there is no sticky feel on it.
This is what it looks like when Star Gloom has fully cured UV Resin glazing.
To add the keychain, I put the jump ring along with the keychain and then locked it using pliers.
I am trying to take a photo of the glitter effect on it. I hope you see it.
