Trying Out Ceramics! Little Dragon Headed Caterpillar I Made

i used angelus brand leather paint, should be available at any craft/hobby type store :] takes a couple layers of paint to get solid lines, but the amount of detail you can get and the overall effect is really nice. i didn't use any kind of sealant/finisher on these, but they do also make sealants if you're worried about chipping, and i've also heard of ppl using clear nail polish (probably cheaper)

Your centipede boots are SO AWESOME!! What did you use to paint them?

thank you!! i'm glad people enjoy them so much :] i used Angelus leather paint! i read somewhere that was a good brand and picked some up from a craft store (in a set that came with brushes and some sort of leather preparer which i also used), it seemed to work very well although i can't attest to its durability yet bc i've only worn the boots a few times

(repurposing this old post into an intro)

hi! you can call me xylaria, xy, or i guess some variation of my url if you want.

this is an art + photos blog, expect mainly my art and occasionally a cool mushroom or something i found in the woods. i reblog from @strobilomyces-confusus

dms open if you want to talk about anything, especially diy/creative process stuff, i like comparing notes with ppl

i am open to art trades, if you want one feel free to ask!

i don't mind construction criticism or tips, particularly on my traditional art/crafting stuff - i'm in a stage of wanting to try a whole bunch of different cool things, which means that i am an absolute beginner at most of them, and if you are experienced and know that i am making an absolute beginner mistake (tm) i'd like to know about it too!

you can also send me mushrooms you've found. i encourage this. i do not guarantee an accurate id every time but i can Try

guys it is so hard to render a teapot (attempts 1 and 2)
