The World Beyond the Gears

I finished another Pocket Watch with a Steampunk Myxie inside. This pocket watch lost the glass on the front, but I didn’t let that stop me…having no glass made it fun to make little hands gripping the sides of the metal and a small face peeking out. :)

Unlike my previous Pocket Watch Myxie, this one is not Trapped inside, rather she enjoys the comfort of her Pocket Watch Home. Occasionally she sticks her head out of the glassless window to peer out at the world beyond the gears. :D

Planning to make one or two more fun pocket watches this month and then I might move on to some other sculpting ideas I have tucked away in my mind. Keep checking my blog for updates!

To trap a Myxie...

Really excited about how my newest Steampunk Pocket Watch came out. It is so much harder to do a face when you are trying to make it flat, whilst still appearing 3D. I had to re-do her head about 3 times just to get it to fit inside the Pocket Watch. But I think she turned out really cute...and a bit worried, from her expression. :P

Myxies can bring you good luck but catching one is difficult, they are fast and clever. But as "Luck" would have it, this little Steampunk Myxie got trapped inside an old pocket watch, while trying to collect gears for her small gadgets. The wearer will have her safely near them, bringing them good luck all the time. Be sure you don't let her out, or she will be off, taking your luck with her. :)

THE DREADED CLOCTOPUS!!!

Decided I would work on a few more Steampunk Pocket Watches this month. I did a couple of little Steampunk Dragons in hollowed out Pocket Watches last year and they seemed to be a big hit so this time I am doing Steampunk Animal Myxie Pals! So far I only have two, an octopus and a seahorse, but they turned out really good. Next in the lineup will be a dragonfly and maybe a crab :)

I have also been adding my newest Prints to my Etsy store. Individually wrapped and matted 8x10s and 5x7 Prints.

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. :)

Where Have I Been?!

Haven’t Blogged in a few weeks, I have been pretty busy trying to recover from Dragon Con. The Art Show was Great by the way. Probably our 2nd best year ever. I got to meet a lot of my Facebook Followers, it was so nice to be able to meet the Face behind the comments. Also I won an Award, My Goria Zombie Myxie won “Best Doll”, my 1st juried award I’ve ever received at Dragon Con, so that was super exciting. :)

I have finished adding the little Steampunk Dragons that didn’t go home with someone during the Art Show and will be adding the last few Animal Pals this week. https://www.etsy.com/shop/MysticReflections
Now I’m trying to get my inventory back up, so for the next couple of weeks I will be sculpting new Steampunk Dragons and Animal Pals and hopefully coloring my newest sketches, along with a few others original pieces I have planned before the Holidays. As always, I have my schedule packed with all kinds of fun ideas, so here’s hoping I can get at least half of them done LOL :)

Also Check out this fun Etsy Treasury that two of my Dragons were featured in.

DRAGON CON 2013!!!

IT’S HEEEERRRRREEEE!!! Dragon Con is this Friday. I’m packing up this afternoon and setting it all up Thursday. Then it’s Four Days of Wacky, Crazy, Nerdy, Geeky, FUN! As always I am excited and a bit nervous…never know what to expect at this Show…Will I get run over by the massive amount of Storm Troopers…or will they all be dressed as Spartans this year? Will I get into a conversation about My Little Ponies with a cosplayer of Slave Leia or Doctor Who? Will that Doctor Who be Matt Smith or Tennant? Will I run into John Barrowman on his way to the parade? Will the Police notice me tying Barrowman up and trying to stuff him into my trunk? All Good Questions that might be answered at DRAGON CON 2013!!! Make sure you all stop by to see me and my little Myxie Friends. The Art Show will be in the Hyatt Building and I will be somewhere along the back wall, just look for my Banner. Can’t wait to see you all there! :D Thanks for reading! ~Caralyn

OH BOY OH BOY! Dragon Con is almost here, only a few more days til the Art Show! As always I am no where near as ready as I wanted to be BUT I'm more ready than I expected to be...so that is good :) Anyway, I have been steadily cranking out Steampunk Dragon Pals and Steampunk Animal Myxie Pals, so I have a whole slew of them for the lovely fans at Dragon Con this year. Here are most of them, all ready and waiting to be adopted by some Steampunk Fantasy Nerd....just like me LOL

Can't wait to see you all at DRAGON CON, doors open on Friday the 30th, Don't Miss It!!! Thanks for reading ~Caralyn

Coin Operated Girl

Hey Everyone! Last Myxie before Dragon Con, which is in about two Weeks SO CLOSE!!! Really loved how this one turned out, that Red hair is what makes her so cute I think. She is attached to the little wooden block that TOOK FOREVER!!! I couldn’t get the letters the way I wanted…so I went with Shapes, and I think that actually fits her better :) I sculpted her with little joints (not real) and she has a wind-up key in her back, to give her the whole Toy theme. So what do ya think?

She is available on my Etsy Store http://www.etsy.com/listing/159504502/coin-operated-girl-wind-up-doll-myxie?ref=shop_home_feat So I still have alot to do but I'm getting ever closer to being ready for the Art show. Super excited about this year, I have a bunch of new prints, new sculptures and Fun New Banners so you can all be sure to find me :) Okay back to work, running out of time. Thanks for reading. ~Caralyn

Doctor Who...or What?

HUGE Doctor Who Fan! Mostly 9,10 and 11, So of course my little Dragon Doodles had to get in on the FanArt LOL I did Tennant "Allons-y" and Smith "Geronimo" and they just turned out so cute, The sweetest Little TimeLords ever! :)
