Description This is the 31st piece in my Industrial Heart Collection, entitled: "Annihilator"

The entire body of the heart is polymer clay that has all of the components of the anatomical human heart, but has been made to look like metal, with paneling and rivet detailing.

This was an extremely fun piece to create, as the customer was looking for something that was a bit more technological as opposed to old-school with all the gears and such. The lady he is buying it for is a huge sci-fi enthusiast.

The entire body of the heart is brass. Usually people ask for the steel/silver body, but I wanted to give this piece a particular old machinery look. Most of the features have been picked out in a worn steel colour and than antiqued with black acrylics to bring out the textures and details.

The front features a centralized round panel with some intricate detailing and a small red LED in the middle. From this, extends a long metal strap with large rivets. There is also a large receptacle-like rivet off to the left side on the front.

On the right side is two receptables with thick silver cable going from one receptacle to the other. On the left is a very interesting Industrial scale pattern with angled spiked edges.

On the back is a textured silver panel with large rivets and a silver cross button in the middle. There is also a carbon composition resistor running along the panel in the top. There are also other little details like tiny silver cylinders and screws as well.

It's one of my favourites so far! I just saw Terminator for the first time the other day, and so I had cyber-borgs and red LED's stuck in my head for a few days. Hehe. Hence, the title as well!

There is a loop in the top so that this heart may be strung on a 20" black rubber necklace with chain extension and heart charm, which this piece comes with. The entire thing has been antiqued with black to give it a worn appeal, and it has been glazed once to allow for a touch of shine and durability.

I wish you could show me how you create these lovely hearts! They are unbelievably detailed. I dont understand how you get it all together. I thought I had done a great job when i created my "anatomical heart"-phone charm with a size of an fingernale, but No! Im not even close! I wish I could see you live when you create your hearts. W O W!

Hahah! It's my little secret. Realistically all it is is sculpting and gears.

Hahahaha, no waaaaay. There really isn't a special technique. It's just patience.

Haha, Okey... I give up! But trust me, I'm not a copycat!
I'm just very curious by nature. Patience is not anything I have much of. I have a tendency to never try to create the same thing twice, because it will never be as good as my first try
Can you have any tips then? When I made my heart it got deformed because of the heat from my hands, it screwed up the shape completely. Tip?

Well, I would suggest to let your clay rest AFTER you create the base for the heart. Either walk away for a half hour or stick it in the freezer for awhile. When holding it, try to hold it loosely and lightly. My hands are very hot too - which is why it helps for hot handed people to use a more firmer clay. Sculpey and Fimo Soft can get VERY mushy. Personally, I learned to work with Sculpey, and that is what I use, but sometime down the line I plan to trade them in for some Premo. I have heard excellent things about Premo.

Thank you for the tips! Appreciated! <3
