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.

Steampunk Dragon pals SA-WEEEEEEEET

While sculpting some brand new Dragon Pals last week, I got a fun idea..Steampunk Dragons! Sooo excited about these. I have already finished a few and I’ve posted photos of the little mechanical darlings! Each one with their own little style, covered in screws, metal plating and some with bionic terminator eyes Sa-weeeeeeeeet LOL, all handmade out of polymer clay of course :)
Even though I am planning to sculpt as many of these little guys as I can, I will still have a limited amount and I think they will be a big hit at this year’s Dragon Con. Soooo I’m making them a Con exclusive and only the ones that are left will be posted on my Etsy Store after the Con in September…so if you wanna nab one, I’ll have to see you at Dragon Con :)

New Baby Dragon Pals!

Have gotten so much more done this week than last…probably because I didn’t do ANYTHING last week. I have finished a few sweet little Dragon Pals and hopefully will have a few more done this weekend. My husband and I are moving into a new house soon so I’m trying to crank out as many pieces as I can before we have to pack and then deal with house stuff. My goal was to have my inventory just beaming with new work by this time but obviously it’s been a bit slow going, but I’m still determined to reach it by Dragon Con in September.
Anyway since I know everyone just reads this blog for the pictures how about I stop typing and let you get to looking at the Photos :)

Making more Myxies

Hello people! I have been getting a lot of sculpting done this month and have already finished 5 Myxies with one more almost finished. I’m so ecstatic to be sculpting again, I really do enjoy it. My husband and I are currently house shopping so as soon as we find something, most of my time will be spent packing. So while I still have some time, I’m cranking out as many pieces as possible. Have a few great ideas too…Myxies on my list to sculpt include a wolf and owl animal Myxie, a magician Myxie and another steampunk Myxie…Eeep I’m so excited to get started!
So for your enjoyment, I’veposted a few photos of the Myxies I have finished so far. I hope to have them posted for sale on Etsy soon. :)

Thanks for reading and keep checking my blog for updates.

New and improved Store

Hello Friends! I’ve been busy the past few days, I had created two Cafépress stores, one with my newest art and the other was the first store I created so it had all my older art in it. Well I figured why not just have the one store so people could get at all my art all the time…I know, why didn’t I think of it before…it’s so simple right :P
Anyway it was a tedious task but I combined my new store with my old one so I no longer would have two Cafépress Stores floating around. So here is the new and improved store, featuring my Newer and older Art, Enjoy http://www.cafepress.com/mysticreflect

Working on dem Myxies!

So I got a bit of sculpting done last week. I’m hoping to crank out a few more Myxie bodies this week before I start adding clothes but I did do a little painting on two Myxeis in particular because I got excited about them and couldn’t wait to get them done. I still have hair, clothes and a few more accessories to add to them both but I’ve posted some work in progress photos for you all. One is a snail, I totally got the idea for her after I was completely finished sculpting her, the position she was in just made me think of a snail. So I crafted her some polymer clay antennas and a shell, then added the paint, I think she looks pretty awesome. The other one is a Raccoon. I’ve been playing with the idea of making animal Myxies for a while, so the raccoon just seemed like a fun animal to start with. I enjoyed making her so you will be seeing a few more animal ones…I’m thinking the next one will be an Owl Eeeeek I’m excited to start on that one :)

Thanks for reading, keep checking my Blog for updates on my new pieces.
