13 Days of Halloween - Day 9 - Polymer Clay Dancing Ghost

Happy Halloween!!! :o)

Today I'm bringing DAY 9 of the 13 Days of Halloween series with this Polymer Clay Dancing Ghost sculpture. :o)

To make this tiny ghost I went with same design as on two ghosts that I shared couple days ago as one of my project from my 13 Days of Halloween series (here).

How I made my sculpture...

When I work with a polymer clay, I work on the glass surface plate I have. I find the glass to be best surface to work with the polymer clay. It's also very important to have clean hands, as the polymer clay picks absolutely everything from your hands or working surface.

I softened a night glow polymer clay with my hands. Polymer clay has to be softened, as it's not possible to work with hardened polymer clay. 

Using my hands and a glass working surface, I shaped the ghost. Using various modeling tools, I shaped holes for eyes and inserted a tiny black glass bead for each eye. Using a toothpick, I made a hole through the ghosts. Then I worked on wrinkles, shaping them with my hands.

When I was satisfied with the shape of the ghost, I baked it for 30 minutes in an oven following producer's instructions.

After baking, I put the ghost to cool on air. After cooling, I sanded it using a fine grit sanding paper .

Then I made a tiny polymer clay sphere, made a hole through it and baked it. This tiny part was for "closing" the bottom part of the ghost and to tie a nylon thread through it. After cooling, I tied the nylon thread around the sphere with a hole, thread it through the ghost and my tiny ghost was finished. :o)

I really like how this one turned out. And it glows in the dark. :o)

• FIMO EFFECT polymer clay, night glow 04
• black glass beads (for eyes)
• modeling tools
• 32 cm x 32 cm x 1 cm glass plate
• oven

13 Days of Halloween - Day 1 - Halloween Ghosts Card (CASology Week #354)

Hi everyone! :o)

It's time for a new challenge at CASology and a new cue word is Fog. :o)

Our challenge will run for three weeks this time, by Monday, November 4th, 2019, 9 AM, CDT (UTC -6).

We also have a sponsor for this challenge: STAMPlorations. Find all details about the prize over at CASology blog.

Today I'm also starting a new series here on my blog: 13 Days of Halloween!! :o) I'll be bringing you a Halloween themed project nearly every day by Halloween, 13 in total. Cards, polymer clay decoration sculptures... and many more. I hope you'll enjoy in the series and find some inspiration. :o)

Today, I'm featuring DAY 1, with this CAS (clean and simple), one layer, monochrome, Halloween Ghosts Card that I made for our new CASology challenge. :o)

Design defined: 

One layer and a monochromatic color scheme make a perfect CAS design.

How I made my card....

To make my card I used stamps from Jane's Doodles 'Haunted House' stamp set and a cloud stencil I made by myself (I've described how I made the stencil here).

For the card I used only one color: Distress Ink Hickory Smoke.

I ink blended clouds, using a mini ink blending tool, directly on a white top folded card base.

Next up was a sentiment. I inked the stamp, first with a VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad and then with the Distress Ink Hickory Smoke, pressed the stamp on the card, poured a clear embossing powder over the stamped sentiment and heat set the embossing powder with a heat tool. I repeated the same with ghosts and my card was finished. :o)

Card measurements: 86 mm x 121 mm (3 3/8" x 4 3/4")

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Haunted House' stamp set 
• handmade cloud stencil
• white cardstock paper
• Tsukineko VersaMark Watermark Stamp Pad
• WOW! Embossing Powder (Clear Gloss, Regular, WA01R)

• acrylic block (102 mm x 102 mm)
