Princess Cookie
June 12th 2022
tinfoil, polymer clay, acrylic paint, enamel paint, armature wire, 6x3mm neodymium magnets, cut dressmaker pins, e6000 glue, UV resin, matte varnish
Modeled after the Adventure Time character Princess Cookie. This has an armature frame covered in tinfoil then polymer clay. The eyes and arms are glued on, the arms each have a metal armature. There are neodymium magnets embedded in the body where the chips attach. The chips have pieces of metal from dressmaker’s pins and stripped twist ties embedded in the backs and sealed with UV resin. The chips snap to the embedded magnets and are removable as the chips in the character design pop out and have their own personhood. I still need to make a base for his majesty.
Donut Witch
June 2022
tinfoil, polymer clay, acrylic paint, enamel paint, armature wire, UV resin, e6000 glue, plastic shavings, matte varnish
Modeled after the Adventure Time character Donut Witch this piece took about 2 months. Donut Witch was my first polymer clay piece I baked and my first piece using armature wire. Her body, cane, and arms are one continuous armature with a tinfoil layer. Her head and hair are one piece cured in stages with the eye glued on then plastic shavings from an empty spool of thread attached via UV resin as her eyelashes. The head was attached to the neck piece of the armature with UV resin as glue was not holding to my satisfaction. I still need to make a base for her.
Jack Skellington keycap
September 2022
polymer clay, acrylic paint, gesso, e6000 glue, matte varnish, PBT R1 keycap
My friend Quinn helped me sort through all the images for this site! Awash with gratitude I made him a happy Jack Skellington keycap for his mechanical keyboard. Reflecting on this and other pieces I’m coming to terms with the fact that the “matte varnish” I got on sale is very moody, sometimes its matte sometimes its glossy and more often than not its as if you applied a cheap shrink wrap to your polymer clay. I’m looking forward to researching alternate finishing coats.
Plant keycap
August 2022
polymer clay, ABS keycap
This is the first custom keycap I sculpted. I had ordered a keyboard with PBT keycaps but when I baked this I realized I had been sent the wrong product. The ABS stem didn’t melt significantly so the keycap functions but I wouldn’t remove the clay.
Succulent keycap
August 2022
polymer clay, e6000 glue, PBT keycap, enamel paint, clear coat
This is the second keycap I made I used a confirmed PBT keycap I got online. I still baked the clay separately and glued it onto the keycap out of paranoia.
