20,000 Leagues Below - A Sculpted Story Necklace
A naturally curious creature, this octopus is exploring the sides of a marine vessel while holding her found-treasure from the depths below: a human skull. The entire sculpted piece is 3-dimensional from the barnacles on the side of the underwater vessel, to the golden eyes of the octopus….and every single little sucker on her winding tentacles.
I normally do custom neckpieces for clients, but I will now start releasing OOAK statement pieces to the public from time-to-time. Enjoy! :D

I love your work! If you don't mind me asking, what do you use for making things such as the ram skull necklace? Keep up the great work!
Asked by thejaydraws
I do not mind at all! :D
I work primarily with polymer clays, and particularity Super Sculpey for that project. It has a great hardiness, weight and usability. A shatter-proof clay is a good idea for wearable art!
I paint with acrylics, use my own recipe of antiquing compounds and……seal, seal, seal! Wearable art *must* stand up to the wearing. :P
Thanks! -
also when are you gonna start making GoT/asoiaf stuff because you totally should if you don't do that already. MAKE STUFF WITH SIGILS. ALL OF THE SIGILS. I will personally purchase... something... maybe a Lannister something.
Asked by comma-butt
I would LOVE to do GoT/asoiaf stuff. I am sure I will at some point. The sigils are done -A LOT- by other people…so it would need to be something uniquely done and something that inspires me.
I will throw that into my braincloud for the next storm session. -
have you ever thought about doing a tumblr giveaway? they seem really good for promoting your tumblr and your store.
Asked by comma-butt
I have been *meaning* to do an other giveaway soon, since I haven’t done one in a year! I love doing them!
Thanks for reminding me. :D -
The love I have received on Undertow was so overwhelmingly amazing and I hope you all enjoy Murder of Crows just as much!
It stands just over 9” tall, so an approximately life-sized vigor. Sculpted from a polymer clay and hand-aged, from the paint-job to the paper labeling. It is an actual bottle, so the bottom of the head is corked and removable.Keep your eyes peeled for the rest to be released. :3

I had to share this excitement with everybody!
First complimented by Bioshock creator Ken Levine on the official FB, now being tweeted at by him to make more vigors.
IS THIS REAL LIFE GUYS?!?!!?(P.S. In all the excitement of this morning I forgot to finish editing pics for the next vigor, but those will be up STAT! Get ready.)
-
…But how ever am I to shower you with thanks?!?!?!?!?!??!
<3I would be nowhere without all of the support and encouragement to continue doing what I am passionate about. Thank you everyone. Every single follower, fan and fellow fantastical nerd.

Hi there! I just wanted to drop by and first of all say how amazingly epic your Undertow flask turned out! Secondly though I was wondering if you would possibly take a commission for one at some point? I'm putting together a Booker cosplay and it'd be hella sweet to have a boss-looking vigor to tote around with me. Just let me know, and keep up the great work!

Thank you for all the kind words and encouragement! I would be happy to take on any commissions.
I would be SO excited to see my work alongside some awesome cosplay! Just message me back on here or on my official Facebook page when you want to discuss details. :D

Here is Undertow, the first completed in my Bioshock Infinite Vigor line. I use actual antique bottles and sculpt the outer design. After a paint job and the label is applied, I hand-age the entire piece. This one is a fully functional flask with cork stopper.
*Edit: The love I received on Undertow was so overwhelmingly amazing and I hope you all enjoy my newest, Murder of Crows, just as much!Keep your eyes peeled for the rest to be released. :3

For those of you who haven’t been following my recent project on FB, I am currently creating the Bioshock Inifinite Vigors! I am starting with Undertow, and it is -almost- ready for it’s official photoshoot. These are just some teasers and WIPs.
There are more in-progress shots from earlier on, on le FB page, but each vigor will be truly one of a kind since I am choosing to use antique bottle bases. It felt so much truer to the game concept with everything modeled in an old-world style.
More to come! :3

Awesome-Sauce! I hear good things about Seattle; I've been meaning to check it out, possibly sometime this or next year even if all goes well ^_^
Asked by g33kgasm
I gotchya, dude. I would be happy to be your Seattle chauffeur, when the time comes! I would highly suggest you visit during one of the cons…Comicon, PAX, Sakuracon, Fairiecon…even Steamcon is a flippin’ blast.
Plus….I am always attending or exhibiting at them. :3 -
Teaser shots of a new line I have played with the idea of. Counter Sets for tabletop and card games. These are still in the idea stage, but represented on the left is a Egyptian themed Scarab set, with scarabs for stones….
On the right is a Medieval style Lucifer from Dante’s inferno on the lid. Munching with his three faces on damned souls. With the center mouth actually open, playing as the opening to feed your body shaped counters into.
Counters should be more fun to use and live in awesome containers when they aren’t in play. Because why not?!

Transitions from the original sculpts, to the black press-mold cast barrette, to the official prototype of Posion Ivy in the front. I am excited about this new process as well as the metallic-on-black coloring. Hopefully I will continue to refine it and be able to re-produce my small pieces!
Bringing wearable art to a head near you! :3

My Nautical Chest Piece sculpt is still not chained, but I am liking how it turned out! This was a terrible phone shot, but the main green coloring is a shimmery peridot. :3
And I had to represent at Norwescon last night, so I sported the Ram Skull chest piece (Classy hotel bathroom shot ftw) -
Nearly completed necklace! This is a teaser, of sorts, more detail shots to come!
