New Mushrooms on the Block

[malefactus]

A few days ago I started a new type of Mushroom based on some Pinterest polymer clay pieces like this one:

 

This one & his kin are quite a bit larger than the ones I make, but the detail is something to aspire to.

Here is a step by step of my Mushroom in progress up to yesterday. This is the plumber's epoxy dolly:

 

The Kneadotite (green stuff):

 

I use the left over green stuff to make smaller versions of the Big Mushroom...you probably already notice that:

 

There will be more of this type in varying sizes AND their bases coming along soon...or eventually.

Is  Totoro the bug fuzzy fellow in the movie poster? He is cool if he is. He would definitely be right up my alley.

Thanks for the reply, Sister.

Would perfectly fit, I think.

 

I'll keep my eyes open ;-D

I look at that mushroom and for some reason I think:

 

"What?  Me worry?"  :B

 

:D

 

Great sculpting!

...he? has possibilities; he has a suitably stunned look of disbelief. He reminded me that I still have the Tortoise & Hare fro Wyrd. The Hare will go well with the place.

Now that you mention it, the resemblance is striking.

Thanks for the reply, Jordan. I am glad you like it/him/her/whatever.

Cool to see how you get new inspiration and come up with yet another style of shrooms.

...I won't be able to even approach doing the vast varieties of real mushrooms, but the attempt is proving to be fun.

I am happy you are enjoying the attempt as well. Thanks for the reply, Glitter.

There you go. Now on to the faces, my favorite part.
