My name is Cindy. I am 34 years old and neurodivergent. These blogs are just who I am and what I am feeling at the current time they are posted or random things I enjoy. Some deep, some not. If you read them I thank you for taking the time out of your life to listen. Some people don’t care enough to try to understand others, and it says something about you that you are trying.
I am new to air dry clay so I thought I would start out with making something that looked a bit simple. I was happy to learn that clay mini mushrooms inspired by mario games were simple to mold. I think the most challenging part was being patient with the drying times.
A photo of part of the process of making some of the 1 up mushrooms. All the parts didn’t stick well to the mushrooms after the clay dried, so I painted each part individually and attached with mod podge for some, then switched to e6000 for a better hold. I also originally prepped for the acrylic paint with mod podge until realizing it tended to peel more, so I switched to liquitex acrylic gesso. It was a learning experience!The finished result. While some have some minor flaws here and there, I am overall happy with how they turned out! I also decided to make some packaging for them too. I recently learned how to use the cricut, so I printed out this question block pattern as stickers and just stuck them on some yellow boxes. Pretty simple!I was really happy with how these turned out!
While these did take a while to make, I am just really glad I was able to make them. Crafting things lately and learning how to use different tools to help has been really fun!
