I missed a few days of #ArtAdventCalendar, so an extra for today! Here's a galaxy whale shark, made with polymer clay with hand painted eyes, spots, and stars.
The first of the galaxy whale sharks, covered in white spots and stars. Made with a clay mix that shows bits of blues, purples, and pinks along with a good amount of foil glitter. Stars and spots are painted by hand, and sealed with a gloss glaze. The underside of the shark glows in the dark, and the top of it glows faintly in spots as well.

I restocked our dragon pendants and added 2 new colors! If there is a color you'd love to see, please feel free to request! I think I might do purple next, and I have a deep pink on order I want to try.

we love the shinies, all the shiny shinies, don’t you know, that it is so.

Rock Friends for day 15 of #ArtAdventCalendar! At one point I was out of everything but granite clay, and then I knocked over a box of rocks in the craft room, so I took it as a sign that I should make use of them. Since then, I've probably made about 300 of them.

December is a griefversary time for me but I decided to do an Advent wreath this year and my delight when I realized it was the second Sunday was so real. I called out to my spouse in another room, "I get to light two candles! It's my ADHD visual timer!!" 😂💞

It's day 7 of #ArtAdventCalendar! I added some new trinket boxes to the shop this morning, so it seemed like a good time to share one!

This one shimmers from turquoise to purple depending on the light. Each box is built by hand around a metal box, with rhinestones and painted glass cabochons.
