I am starting the sculpting by making the head, conditioning the clay first, and then weighing it afterward.
Roll it around my hand until the texture of the clay is smooth as an egg, and then I shape it into a head shape. Set it aside for later.
For the strawberry, I am going to use red clay, and do the same as the head condition, and weigh it.
Roll it around my hand until smooth, and then I shape it close to a strawberry shape
Place it on an elevated and flat thing, like this acrylic stamping block, and then, using the tip of the brush, I made a dent shape like a head.
And then to add the texture, I am going to use my dotting tools.
To make the leaves, I am going to use lime green, cut into small pieces.
Shape into a leaf, and I added texture in the middle to make it look like a leaf using the needle tool.
Added them one by one, three in front and three at the back.
When everything is done, I am going to add the head I made earlier.
Then I poke a hole for where I am going to add the eyes using my dotting tool.
The last time I made the strawberry charm, the color black of the part of the face didn't blend with the color. It was too intense, so I fixed it by using a shade of red that was darker. I like the result, so I stick to it.
Then I shape the nose into a triangle shape and then put it on the face.
Then cut it into shape like a heart, and then for the lips, I roll a thin line of dark red, the one I use for the eyes and eyebrows, and then cut two equal sizes and put them carefully on the face.
Then I added blush using soft pastel and a brush.
Then I added the hair.
After that, I added the eyepin.
I am too lazy to bake it, so I am going to use a hot blower to bake it LOL.
I was planning on buying gold paint, but I remembered I have mica powder with me that I bought last year. I mix yellow acrylic and mica powder using a toothpick.
I use a dotting tool to color those textures.
Then seal everything using UV Resin.
Cure it under a UV lamp.
Then I added the lanyard.
I really love this one!
I hope you like it :D
