Hello, how are you? We’re going out lately because my mom’s not busy with work, and I think classes are on vacation now. And today I guess we'll go out again, which makes me happy because I love travelling and just sitting looking at the view LOL.
So, for today's clay keychain, I am going to make the classic Street Food that everybody likes, the "Fishball", this one is the most known street food people eat and the one cheapest too, so it is always sold out.
So yeah, I like to challenge myself again and do this this time!
Materials I Used:
- Glass Sheet
- Poylmer Clay
- Portable Weighing Scale
- Gum Container
- Toothpick
- Wire Brush
- Alcohol
- Qtip
- Soft Pastels
- Makeup Brush
- Eyepin
- Silicone Mat
- Oven
- UV Lamp
- Disposable Gloves
- UV Resin
- Pliers
- Keychain
Craft Time!
First is I condition the clay by kneading it until the texture of it is smooth enough to work with. The clay I bought is smooth, so it doesn’t take much time to condition it.
Then I weigh them using a portable weighing scale. Weigh them equally.
I grab a clay, and then I shape it into this shape.
Using the wire brush tool tip handle, I shape it into a fish ball. And then I repeat the process with the remaining clay.
After that, I clean the clay from dust and dirt using alcohol and a Q-tip.
After that, I use a toothpick as the BBQ stick, and then I poke it in carefully.
To make it more realistic, I added shades to it using soft pastel and a makeup brush.
I keep layering until the shades I want.
Then I added the eyepins. I just poke it in.
Then I place it on a silicone mat, and while the oven is still preheating, and then after it got pre heat I bake it at the temperature and time the packaging instructed.
I pour UV Resin into plastic, and then I scrape some soft pastel, and then mix them until well combined, and then I apply the mixture using this toothpick.
After that, I added chilis using the baked red clay I cut, and then I cured it under a UV Lamp for about 5 minutes or until it is no longer sticky.
Now I am going to add the keychain. I am going to use two pliers. What I do is I hoop in the jumping into the eyepin.
And then I lock it using the two pliers I have. And done, I have a fishball keychain.
Did a little photoshoot. A green plant is a lifesaver for the background, making everything look aesthetic.
Thank you for visiting, see you on my next blog. :D
