Shed aid "Skating Rink!"

[morphmom]

So here's the ruff draft. I made it outta salt dough, but would like to do the final piece in foam based clay.

(The new design will have a removable ""cave" for the stuffed seal. The fabric is just to give an idea)


(I need alot more gems, but I think it really looks like icy water)


(From the side)


Poor Mylo was rubbing on everything in his viv trying to shed. But my winter themed set-up has all rounded objects! Poor little bug-a-boo. So I'm making this as a shed aid. The gems have a slight edge but aren't sharp. Hope he likes it

Thank you. I'm really excited about this project! For those with desert themed viv's, I had thought about picking up a soft bristled dish brush. With green colored bristles. When you turn it bristle side up, it looks like a plant! Really easy to Incorporate into a viv. It would also work for jungle/forest type themes

I'll be picking up more foam clay this weekend. I'm hoping to have it done by next Mon.

I'd love, love, love too sell these and my humid hides but the shipping from Canada is more then the product I think it's better for people if I guild people step by step.

What do you use to make your projects?

What do you use to make your projects?

It depends on what I'm doing. I like salt dough for solid sculpture type things.
Like this salt dough ramp I made for Mylo's coconut "snowball" hide:





But I like foam based clay for projects that I want to be lighter in weight.
Like the cover for Mylo's moist hide:







I use just about any non toxic item in my projects. A brush looks like a plant to me and plastic gems looks like icy water.
