“EVERY ACT OF CREATION IS FIRST AN ACT OF DESTRUCTION” PABLO PICASSO
Never again will I use this clay. Lame ass air drying clay kept cracking over and over again. So something that started out as a 1 week project got pushed into a corner, and slowly worked on for three months instead.
Making some clay monster pins, each is unique and won’t be reproduced! They will all go up for sale in my shop soon, stay tuned for a release date and pics of the other ones!
Since the New Welcome Home Update came out I wanted to make that Barnaby Slinky on their site, it took me some days to do it but I just love how it came out, it even works!
The Welcome Home update was so good and I’m so happy for what’s to come next! 🐶🍎✨
DISCLAIMER: I made this item for myself and I won’t be selling my items I make to do with Welcome Home, however there’s a video of me making this on my TikTok with the same name if you want to check it out!
Handmade by me, from Super Sculpey polymer clay, and painted with acrylic paints to resemble antique bronze. It measures 3 inches (10cm) in diameter. I sculpted onto a watchglass so I could get a curvature. The watchglass was removed after baking. It took me approximately 25 hours from start to finish.
A lot of fans talk about wanting a replica of Uhtred's sword. However, I wanted something more personal and meaningful to me. I had been planning to make this brooch for over a year now, and finally had the time and motivation to do so.

Progress photos. I rolled out the clay and molded it onto a watchglass. Then I printed out my sketch and used a pin to pinpoint the locations of the main features (the little spheres). Afterwards, it was just a lot of fiddly sculpting work to create the details. This was 100% done by hand; I did not use any molds or pre-created forms for this.
Painted version in indoor lighting.
Screencaps of the brooch. And you can see what I had to work with here, lol. Weird fact: his brooch changed color over the seasons! It was shiny gold colored in season 3, silver in season 4, and antique bronze in season 5. Don't know why it changed so much. Aldhelm's brooch is very unique and particular to him. He had a standard large bronze Mercian boar brooch in season 2, just like Aethelred, but for some reason that was changed to this one in season 3. It seemed to coincide with the change in his apparent personality, so I wonder if it was intentional or not?
