 𓏲ּ𝄢Clay craft to keep me away from my phone𓏲ּ𝄢

I just finished making this little polaroid holder for my best friend's birthday. I always get SO excited when I start a clay project, but then I get reminded very quickly why I don't do this more often. I spent A LOT of time on this little thing.

I left the clay to dry for a week cause I wanted to make sure that it was completely dry before painting it. I'm glad I used cold porcelain clay cause it took way less time to dry, compared to air dry clay, and it was also way easier to make the shape of the helmet. Then, I did like 4 coats of  paint to make sure it wasn't streaky but there were random pieces of dust and hair that kept getting stuck on it and it was fucking PISSING ME OFF. 

The little blobs were thankfully pretty easy to draw since they're... blobs.

I'm actually sooo thankful for paint markers. They make my life so much easier. 

Then the helmet was done! And it actually looks good. I thought it would look way wonkier but it looks good.

There is a weird little indent at the bottom of the helmet though... But it's not a big deal. 

I hope she likes it! :p 

k, bye for now!
