I decided to seriously take my friend @Trincowski's advise and, yes, as of now, I am getting ready to stock up my charms. I don't know if I am going to make this as a business- probably as a hobby for now. I'll let you guys know how I go but, I definitely am considering this as a future business venture.
Yes. I have molds too. But, I do all the sculptures.
To make the cone, I started with this.
This is ready to use cone- just cut around the edges to fit into your desired size. I cut mine into 4 parts.
Roll.
Cut the excess clay.
Since I am trying to do a "conveyor" belt system, I decided to make 3 identical pieces. Here are they:
Make the hands from 2 smaller pieces of clay.
Attach to the cone.
Attach the "head" and start making details.
Take 2 smaller pieces. I am not going to show you guys how I make this. I had been making the "ear" part for god knows how long.
When you're done, take tiny pieces of clay and attach it to the eyes. This will give it further detail.
Now for the ice cream part, I just mixed a black and white clay.
Make a smaller tear drop shape and put it at the top of the first one.
Attach the eye pin and you're done.
Bake and glaze it as per your manufacturer's instructions.
