Description
I was supposed to make a triskelion pendant for the winner of my Sterek Campaign Charity Auction, but I got just a tiny bit carried away and a pendant ended up as a full blown necklace XD.
The buyer wanted a round triskelion in the creepy/unsetteling theme, and the word "Overflow" on the back, which I thought went perfectly with the sea monster she proposed.
I started with an idea of a octopus holding the triskellion and it just escalated into a big tentackle necklace XD. It's around 12,5x10 cm.
The octopus is midnight blue polymer clay with metallic and blue sparkles and a little bit of green transculent clay mixed in for depth, the details are blue/green and the triskelion itself is metallic silver/ancient gold. I added two additional tentackles at the sides and the cotton cord with two snake knots.. Aaand the octopus is holding corresponding colored bracelet in one of it's tentackles XD.
The whole piece is painted with super gloss varnish and it kind of looks like just picked up from the sea, still wet, like maybe someone noticed the pendant sparkling in the water and picked it up, and the tentackle monster wouldn't want to let it go .
That's my first time making tentackles and I had tons of fun wth them .
As always, no molds or stamps used, everything handmade. I was a little scared if the buyer would like it, because it wasn't exatcy a round pendant, but she did! DD.
