Cute mushimu from polymer clay ^_^

content auto translated from {from}

I was browsing the forum and came across this post, and in it, there was this cute little mushroom creature:

And then I wanted to sculpt it \_

First, I made sure that I had everything I needed on hand.

After that, I molded the base from regular clay (in the bag in the photo):

You can also use foil for the base, but I find clay more convenient; it’s a matter of taste :)

While the clay was drying, I decided to look at some photos and concluded that it was high time to wipe down the table...

I covered the dried clay with a layer of polymer clay:

Then I punctured the mushroom with a thick, long needle and sent it to the oven to bake...

After baking, I added eyes, cheeks, carved the mouth, and stuck spikes on the cap, then stuffed it back into the oven :)

While the body was baking, I sculpted the legs:

The mushroom was baked and stood firmly on all 4 legs \_

Now we bake it completely and prepare for painting...

For painting, you will need:

1. Stone acrylic

2. White acrylic

3. Red acrylic

5. Black acrylic

  1. Gloss varnish

(I’m providing links to Ozon for those who decide to try working with polymer clay but don’t know where to buy it. The clay can be bought here; I recommend getting white as it’s easier to paint, I molded from black and green since there was no white available at the time. Regular clay can be bought here; one pack will last a long time).

Well, the mushroom has baked, cooled down, and it’s time to paint. I recommend starting with painting the body and legs, then paint the spikes and eyes, and lastly the cap:

And now I’ll steal a picture from Pre_historik:

And it’s ready:

And here’s the dovahkiin mushroom, with a helmet from my previous work:

So, that’s how it went :)
