Finished Willy Beads!!

 So here they are the beautiful willy beads I was commissioned to do, I made the backs different colours and so that each one could be still unique

To try and held the shape better I would recommend making them slightly larger than you would like, making your bead hole and then slicing them to size.

Very pleased with the outcome here! One happy customer too :)

Pearly Penis Piece (Polymer Cane)

 So you ever wanted to not grow up and make a penis out of clay? Well! Your at the right place then!

This is a little walkthrough of how I created a penis cane.

So first up I mixed some clay together to try and get the kind of colours I wanted just how you would if you was painting with acrylic paints. I then made basic shapes out of these clays I ensured one side had more lighter colour to be able to make shading effects. I used pearl mixtures on the tip to hopefully give it a slightly more moist looking effect.

I then mixed together white pearl with some good old fashioned bog standard blue,  I then used the pasta machine on number 5 to go around the edges ensuring to cut off any excess clay!

So there you have it you just keep going around until you have the shape you wish for, It is much easier if you have a circle or a square..

Then here is the difficult part..
Shrinking it down and sizing

So for shrinking it down.. if you have anything transparent and heavy try sticking it on one side. this helps it prevent it from warping. As soon as you can try to work it in the middle outwards, As you can see in the photo.

Now for the cutting!! The best part! (Which is optional however I am way too impatient to find out if I have messed it up!)

BOOTIFULS What a fine penis!  Much more attractive than the real thing don't you think?

Now all you have to do is work across to the ends so that it is all even across. The ends will be warped that is normal so don't worry no scrap clay ever goes to waste! So DO NOT throw it!

Bones Finished Earrings

This is a continued post from the Bones Canes, Here is what was made from them with still plenty of cane left. To the left is the dangly earrings and to the right the studded ones :)

Potentially the best thing I have made yet.
For those who don't know I take a lot of time and patients into creating packaging for my handmade jewlery too.

So finally opened my range to dangle earrings!  I found this quite fun experimenting away. Of course it took a little longer than doing stud earrings.

Like these? Well they will be up on etsy shortly

Creation Of Bones Polymer Cane

I've started creating a cane to eventually be transformed into some earrings for the band Bones, If you have never heard of them you should! Have a listen to the video above, Addictive music with an amazing voice to go with the insanely good base lines! 

So here is my chaotic glory!, I tried a new method to try and get less warping when reducing canes, I often seem to have issues with this as any cane creator dose! So here I have used an extruder and what I like to call the Pixel Method. This is where as you can see in the picture, you count how many blocks you need of each square, you also cut some for like the bit on the B for example, I did it in rows going from left to right and used the paster machine on grade 1 to do the gaps between the lettering.

Well these are the results, I am pretty presently surprised and happy with these so far! I had a few new toys to play with, an extruder which I seem to have already broke, So looks like I will be buying a new one off ebay today... £6 down Boh! I recommend to anyone who is in this department to pay a little extra for the slightly better ones.

Now to create them into earrings. Watch this space!
