My First Mermaids

Yesterday when I was creating King Triton's triton I decided that there must be some mermaids to keep the triton safe!

I tried making some mermaids out of clay, for my first mermaids I think it turned out pretty well! The most fun part of creating them were the tails! It's so much fun since the mermaid tales can have so many different designs! A toothpick is very helpful in creating details in the tail.

I kept making mermaids by using some of my extra clay from older projects. Here are the photos of my first 7 mermaids!

4th Of July Cat & Mouse

Happy Independence Day to all fellow crafters!

I was planning to make a red, white, and blue Independence Day cake but decided to make something I didn't even expect!

So today I made a red, white and blue cat! Her body, face and 2 of her legs are red and white mixed, and her ears are red with white inside. The whiskers are blue and her other two legs are blue and white! Her tail is mixed with all three, red, white and blue!
I also made a mouse with a blue and white ear and tail, and a red and white ear. I added a red, white and blue rainbow in the back!

I'm very curious to know if this kitty's meows turn into fireworks when she talks. Anyways, I think it is safe to say that this red, white and blue cat is very proud to be an American kitty, especially since dyed her fur these colors!

Happy 4th of July!

5 Day Of Disney: Magical Cinderella Glass Slipper

I've always loved the glass slipper from the Disney movie Cinderella, so I decided to try and create a miniature one for myself!

It turned out easier than it looked. I just made a light blue triangle and shaped it to give a shoe look. I also added a small white piece in the middle to make the inside of the shoe. When it was finished, I slightly brushed it with blue and white sun-catcher paint! The paint used for sun-catchers is very helpful when you want a slight shine, or more clear look to whatever​ you are painting.

Hope you like it!

Ursula's Golden Seashell

If you have watched the Disney movie, The Little Mermaid, I'm sure you remember the evil sea witch, Ursula!

Of course looking through my recent posts you can probably notice I can't help but  think Disney inspired crafts, and especially my last two posts being mermaid themed! I decided Ursula seemed like the perfect villian today!

For this craft I tried creating the powerful Golden Seashell on Ursula's necklace. She's basically wearing it all the time! It was pretty easy, I just rolled a string of clay, put a darker yellow piece on the end and added some markings. I also added a black piece of clay to the top and put a hole through it to make it a charm.

2nd Day Of Disney Crafts: King Triton's Trident from the Little Mermaid

I'm here again with another new craft for the 5 Days Of Disney Crafts July 4th countdown I made yesterday while making my enchanted rose inspired craft. It seems like I've been creating a lot of disney inspired crafts!

Last night when I started trying to think of what to make next, mermaids were the first thing I thought of! So I decided to make King Triton's (from the little mermaid) magical triton!

Here it is! I hope you like it!
