Cactus Gloom Clay Charm Handmade Clay Keychain

Hello, how are you? Last time I experimented with the final design for the Gloom Charm Clay, I designed, and it finally clicked inside my head that this is it, this is the final, when I last posted the Gloom Charm I made, which is the strawberry one. I am so satisfied with it that I drew a lot of it in different kinds of things.

And today I decided to continue that series of Gloom Clay Charm, I am going to make a cactus charm, simple but cute.

---

Materials I Used:

---

Craft Time!

I am going to use a little bit darker green for my Cactus Gloom. Knead the clay until the texture is soft, and then I smooth it out using my hand.

---

The outer part is supposed to be smooth like this, and then using an acrylic stamping block, I flatten it out just a little bit.

---

I shape it like this, and then place it above a lid to have just a little bit of elevation. After that, use the tip of the brush.

---

Press it until it creates a dent like this. This is where I am going to place the face of Gloom. Adjust the hole when needed later.

---

Time to make the face, first I am going to use a skin tone clay, and then I will weigh it for an accurate size.

---

Roll it around my hand to remove any creases or lines, just like I did earlier.

---

Then shape it into a head shape.

---

I grab the cactus I made earlier and then place that head inside the hole I made.

---

Then I added texture using a dotting tool.

---

Then I made the other parts of the cactus, but I forgot to document it.

---

Then I added texture to it too. And then I added a map to where I am going to place the eyes using the same dotting tool.

---

For the eyes, I am going to use dark brown clay. I cut a little bit of it using an X-Acto knife and shaped it into a tiny ball, and pressed it to where the map of the eyes I made earlier.

---

I do the same for the eyebrows.

---

For the nose, I use this pinkish clay, and then I cut a little of it, shape it into a triangle, but not too triangular LOL, and then carefully place it on the face.

---

And then cut the bottom part to make it like a nose using my X-Acto knife.

---

Then I added blush using pink soft pastels and a smaller brush.

---

Then I added the eyepin. After that, I baked it in the oven, making sure to follow the instructions on the packaging of the clay on how long and at what temperature to bake the clay.

---

Cool down the clay first before continuing to the next process. Time to add the UV resin, what I do is I pour enough of it onto the clay.

---

And then apply it using a brush.

---

Cure it under a UV Lamp for a few minutes. This is what it looks like better with a gloss coat.

---

Next is to add the keychain. What I do is I hoop in the jump ring along with the keychain and then lock it using my two pliers.

---

And done! This is what it looks like.

---

So cute!

---

I hope you like it. :D
