Spent a few days in Florida last month and it got me in the mood to make an Alligator Steampunk Myxie Pal.

I usually start with sculpting the head on my animal pals and just form a rough shape of the animal's body.

 Then you can start to add the details and smooth out the torso shape.

Then comes the limbs, I sculpt each individually and attach it using craft wire frames. 

Once the body is finished, details such as scales and teeth can be added to the piece. 

Gears, Craft wire and metal jewelry pieces are added to give the animal a Steampunky feel. Then the piece is baked and the remaining details are painted on. And your Steampunk Alligator is done. :)

That's one good lookin Gator. :)

EEEK GEMS, GLITTER, SHINY!!!

Hey Everyone! I was able to make a few new Myxie Dragon Pals recently. These are a little different than my normal Myxie Dragons, I have added some fun gems and glitter and shiny stuff to them. I think it gives them more of a whimsical feel, don’t you think? :)

Anyway they were super fun to do, that I plan on sculpting a few more soon. Anyway, here are the little guys I’ve finished so far.

These new Myxie Dragon Pals are available on my Etsy Store. :)

A whole herd….flock?…gaggle?..it’s a bunch of Dragons!

If you follow me on Face Book you probably have already seen these little guys but I’m posting much better photos for you today and if you haven’t seen them yet…well, enjoy the cuteness :)
My Little Dragon Pals! I recently changed up the original design of my Dragons, don’t worry, I didn’t change them much. This new batch is wingless, has new bead eyes and instead of the traditional beak, they have a little snout. I think they are cuter but then again I’m a bit bias with my creations.
Anyway, I hope you like the little guys!

Juls Treasures

Hey Friends. Today I’m Blogging about a special artist that has just recently come on board the talent train. My sister just discovered her love of creating and NO, I’m not trying to win brownie points by saying this, her stuff is really cute! She has many crafts she is planning but the first pieces she has for sale are these fun, beaded bracelets. Each one she handmade with beads she personally selected…with great care. Trust me, I was there many times as she tediously handpicked each one with a delightful creation already in mind. Her asymmetrical style makes these especially unique. I posted a link so you could check out her work, Enjoy! http://www.etsy.com/shop/JulsTreasures?ref=seller_info Also check out these Etsy Treasuries she was featured in. http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4da1029020e46d919c15d7cf/make-mine-wine-a-pay-it-forward-treasury http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4d8a6c69e3528eeffbd2d735/the-secrets-within Thanks for reading. ~Caralyn
