This ought to Cool things off...

It has gotten a bit chili here in the South. The weather is just tricking us though, I’m sure it will get back to the blazing heat of summer in no time. But the cool days got me in the mood to make a Cool Myxie. Clear Beads give an icy touch to her wings and the frost covering her body is a nice mixture of glitter (YAY, love me some glitter) and liquid Sculpey. I’ve been calling her Winter Slumber, I think it has a nice ring to it.







I have some really fun Myxies planned this month and I will keep posting photos as I finish them so keep checking my blog.

Pink and Punky!



FUN PUNKY MYXIE!!! Almost finished with my newest Myxie. I’m making her all punky, Pinks and Black color scheme and handmade polymer clay boots and head phones…The head phones were a lot of fun to create, I imagine she likes to listen to Pat Benatar, she’s obviously an 80s Myxie :) I just have her wings left to add and then she will be complete. I was thinking maybe some little hot pink butterfly wings would look cute.

Just like Grandma's













I am obsessed with miniature dollhouse food, furniture, dinnerware you name it. I’m just mesmerized by the intricacy of these tiny pieces, some are so detailed and adorable. So recently I have been making my own mini food. The Myxie I’m working on right now is my Cherry Myxie. She is going to have, you guessed it, A Cherry theme! I’m planning a cute hat made out of a Cherry tea cup and saucer, a fun apron over her handmade dress with cherries covering it and my favorite that I have sculpted so far, a delicious piece of Cherry Pie! OH BOY!!! I had soooooo much fun making this polymer clay pie. It takes a steady hand and some great tools to pull off food this small…No idea how I did it then LOL
I enjoyed it so much there should be a lot more where this came from.
Can’t wait until the Myxie is finished.
