Squirmy Wormy

Shimmers -Wallees

Some befores of the Wallees process, these are my Halloween " Glimmers" the same techniques was used
for these "Shimmers"
on the clean resin snowflake I add Apoxie Sculpt mix to the center and let dry overnight, then I add a foam base
which I have shaped into a " ball " and apply my clay over it.
If I want a hat or detail, I make a small form out of either foam or wire and tape, then attach it to the "ball" and cover it with clay then let dry overnight.

colors and washes done

adding mica powder on one side

Halloween "Glimmers"

The 13th hour
Somewhere past midnight but not yet one,
the bewitching hour has just begun.
When witches dance with brooms in flight
in the twilight of the night.
So come night creatures ,great and small
Wizards, haints, goblin folk and all.
It's that 13th hour that's in between,
The time to welcome Halloween !

I'm so bad about spending money anymore that I thought I'd do this instead,I'm happier with the way the second set came out,
I've already used a pair for one of my Wumbwies, they seem to be hold up pretty well too!!!.
