D&D Player Figures


D&D Player Figures

I used Polymer clay a paperclip and 2 small washers to create the players characters.
  • ·         Created a wire frame of the body using the paperclip
  • ·         Adding clay to form body then clothing and items
  • ·         Baked them in the oven
  • ·         Glued 2 small washers together
  • ·         Glued  the figures on to the washers
  • ·         Painted the figures with 3 coats silver.



I wanted to get them to look like they were smelted out of silver
They look way better in person then they do in these pictures.

Here they are pictured with a dime so you can see how small they really are

Christmas Cookie Awards 2018 Decorations



Movie Posters


Materials:       Paper              Cardboard box            Pencil              Paints

 Not really a how to more just showing what I did

I created frames from cardboard boxes 
Cutting out 2 rectangles the same size. 
One of the rectangles cutting out the center to make a 1 ½  inch wide frame. 
Then line the inside of the cutout with ¼ inch strips of card stock, and painted the frame silver.





I was just going to print out some Christmas movie Photos But i wanted them larger so i got out one of my large sketch books and began to draw them instead.
Here are some while they were in progress.







When finished i added them to a frame





Now The finished posters I had a few more but guess I didn’t take pictures of them all.






The Clapboards



Foam board cut into 2 pieces to form the clapboard then trimmed with ¼ inch pieces of cardstock and painted
A piece of thin cardboard (old cereal box ) cut into a rounder triangle and painted silver to make the hinge 
Also added a section onto the back to hold the recipe cards.






Red Carpets

Wrapping paper cut in long strips given a tapered edge on one end then tissue paper used to decorate along the sides and a small ornament added to the tip.





Paparazzi Elves

Found these adorable elf online made templates traced onto poster board painted them black
Stuck into a square piece of foam board and trimmed with a metallic pipe cleaner.






And a marquee with just 1 piece of foam board paint and a small set of lights poking threw holes.


And here is everything put together
