♥ Tutorial; Clay Snow Dragon

16 januari 2020 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies! How are you doing?! I am sad it’s still raining and storming outside, no snow for me. I keep imagining how much snow all the rain would have been xD. Anyway I am still in winter mode, so I have made this adorable snow dragon out of clay. Just a little sculpture to have around and lift up the winter spirit. It’s perfect to use clay around this time of year.

Clay Snow Dragon

For this DIY you’ll need:
♥ Aluminum Foil.
♥ Air Dry Clay.
♥ Skewer.
♥ Some Rough Brush or Tooth Brush for Clay Purposes.
♥ Water and/or Glue.
♥ Some Branches.
♥ Clay tools.
♥ Acrylic Paint.
♥ Varnish.
♥ Brush.
♥ Glitter/nailart deco. (optional)

Tutorial

Make 2 balls out of aluminum foil. One about 3,5cm and the other about 2cm.

Prick the skewer in the large ball, this makes it easier to hold. Cover it entirely with clay, about 1cm thick. It doesn’t have to be perfectly smooth. If you ever made a snowman with real snow, you know that’s almost impossible the get a perfectly smooth ball xD. When it’s covered, texture the clay using the rough brush or toothbrush. If that’s done, put it upside down with the skewer straight up and let it dry before you continue. Usually with air dry clay, this doesn’t take too long, although it depends on the clay!

When the large ball is as good as dry, do the same for the small one, but don’t let it dry. Cut the skewer smaller and pull out the one of the large one. Add a bit of glue around the hole of the large ball and slide in the skewer of the small one. if you left any marks where you hold it, make sure to texture it again.

Take a bit of clay, a ball around 2cm and make a oval shape of it. Put it on a flat surface and flatten the side/edges towards the flat surface. (Not sure how to explain this well, check the pics). This will be his beak. If the clay of the small ball is still wet then you can use water to put both parts together, if not use a bit of glue. Try to smooth out the edges , doesn’t have to be perfect. Don’t forget to texture it!

Horns

Make two balls out of clay, approx  0,5cm each. Make a pine cone shape of both balls. Glue those to the head where you like them. try to smooth out the edges and texture those as well.
From here I let it completely dry before I continued.

Tail

Make a long cone shape that you wanna use for the tail. At the widest part you wanna slice a part of with a knife to be able to apply it to the body easily. Texture the tail too.

Shawl

Make a long snake of clay, and flatten it a bit. Wrap about 10 to 15 cm around his neck (depends on your work), like shown in the picture. Make sure to use a bit of glue/water, cause air dry clay won’t stick to dry air dry clay.
Now make a little gap where the clay starts to overlap. In here you will add another piece of the flatten snake you made. Cut off about 4 to 5cm of the snake and flatten one side of it a bit more, this will make it easier to slide in the gap. If you have done that, add it carefully in the gap and fold the remaining part down. Make sure to use glue here as well.

Ears

Make 2 balls of about 1cm each and shape those into a flat-ish triangle. Apply those to the head and make sure to texture those as well.

Arms

Poke a hole with something sharp on the place where you want the arms to go. Cut pieces of a branch to the size you like and put those in the holes you just made.

Eyes and Buttons

With little pieces of clay make the eyes and buttons on the snow dragon. Make sure to leave those smooth so they could look like little stones stuck into the snow.

Painting

Last paint the parts you like to paint. I painted the scarf light blue and the eyes/buttons black. Further I left everything white. You can varnish the snow dragon if you like. I added some glitter to the varnish for that little extra. If you have ever seen snow, you know it sparkles. So so pretty! *-*

I hope you liked this little tutorial how to make a snow dragon out of clay! Show me if you made one as well, I’d love to see! Have a wonderful day!

Love
Danielle

♥ 3D Origami; Pichu Diagram

9 augustus 2018 by Delinlea 2 Comments

Hey Lovelies! Today I will repost on of my free 3D Origami diagrams from my old website. You might have never seen those, or maybe you did?! But the reason for uploading them here is that I wanna delete my old website completely! I get a lot of spam on there lately and it’s annoying me a lot. So, let’s get rid of it XD.

I first will repost my Pichu diagram. I love this one! It’s just too cute.

If you have no clue what 3D Origami is, well it’s almost like paper lego, you only have to fold the same piece over and over again. Until you have enough to make something with it. the pieces slide into each other. No glue needed (Only if you have to glue on limbs xD). although some people prefer to use glue. I prefered to use a varnish at the end, when I made something. This gives it a nice shiny look, almost like plastic. And this way, the thing you made, will last longer. I have some things for about 5 years now, some are a bit discolored, but have not fallen apart.

I hope you will like this diagram! if you don’t know how to read this, just let me know or look it up on youtube. There you will also find how you can fold the base etc. It’s a fun craft to do!

Love Danielle

♥ Amigurumi Gnome Face

8 maart 2018 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

Hey Lovelies!!

So, somewhere at the end of last year, my grandpa asked me if I could make something for him and handed me a scribble at a small piece of paper. I was like, ‘what’s this’. I was a bit confused but stated how I should make it.. sorta xD. It’s supposed to be a Gnome head/face.

Here is his scribble:

Well, okay, I will try to make something out of it. I only need to know what colors he wanted. He said Yellow and Green. Not sure why he wanted those colors. Not something I would choose, but hé, it’s his party!

So after having the scribble for a while, I should finally make it, and give it to him. (I had a bunch of other stuff that had priority, so my grandpa had to wait). And when I finished them I loved them more as I thought I would. So, I thought why not share the pattern with you all! Are you ready?!

For this DIY you’ll need.
♥  Yarn in 2 colors of green and beige. (I used cotton thread.)
♥  Crochet hook.
♥  Stitch marker.
♥  Yarn needle.
♥  Scissors.
♥  Fiber Fill
♥  2 Safety eyes. (about 7mm)

Stitches used:
CH = Chain.
SC = Single Crochet.
HDC = Half Double Crochet.
DC = Double Crochet.
Foundation SC.
ST = Stitch.
Inc = Increase.
Dec = Decrease.
Slst = Slip Stitch.
(…) = Repeat the space in brackets the given number of times.
[…] = Total number of stitches.

♥ Pattern

So I made the versions of the hat. By accident. I just didn’t count right. To be honest I like my mistake more as the ‘good’ one haha. So I thought why not give both.

10: (1SC, dec), 6 times. [12] Stuff the head lightly.
11: Dec in each st around. [6]

Note: in between row 5 and 6 you wanna add the safety eyes.

Fasten off and weave in tails.

Ears:

Chain2, insert in 2nd chain from hook, 1SC. Fasten off and leave long tail for sewing.

Assembling

Put the head inside the hat, and sew them together. Form the scarf the way you like and sew it to the head as well. Add the ears to both sides of the face and you are done! isn’t it cute?!

I hope you enjoyed making this one! Have a lovely day all!

Love
Danielle

♥ Beessie Redo

19 juli 2017 by Delinlea Leave a Comment

Hi lovelies!

A short update from me. I recently re-painted my very first poseable art-doll. Why?! because I made a rookie mistake haha, I used cheap paints back then, and the color almost completly faided. I will never make that mistake again! I will just work with my beloved Amsterdam acryllics.

BeessieThis was how she looked before.
(Here’s the old post)

♥ Beessie

Beessie loves to play in our garden. preferably in the evening when it’s getting dark. Jumping over branches and climbing into the trees, but not to high! she’s a bit affraid of hights. I can watch her for hours jumping and running around. And when it’s really dark, or when de sun is out, she prefers to sleep, a lot! I guess that’s where she get’s the energy from haha. Sometimes I catch her and bring her inside to stay in my room. She loves that from time to time. She watches me working on other creatures or tries to help me with drawing (well you can imagine how that goes. xD  Walking over my drawing or sitting in the way.) But most of all, when she’s inside, just like ouside, she sleeps.

Beessie Redo

BeessieHow she looks now.

I had fun re-painting her. And I definitely learned my lesson haha.

Love,
Danielle
