Something else nature inspired- I really wanted to sculpt something 3D (I've been mainly crafting flat things like bracelets and pendants recently). I had no idea what I was going to sculpt until I saw a youtube video about a Hungarian guy who wrote concertos for mushrooms... turns out I have a book about poisonous mushrooms so I took inspiration from them both.


The brown mushrooms are made from Fimo (only the colour Sahara) and the fly agaric made from white, a tiny bit of vanilla along with a blend of indian and cherry red. They are then textured and shaded with chalk pastels. I added a thin coat of gloss glaze to the top to add a little bit of textural contrast. They are all about 3-4cm long.
