Cold cast bronze Onionbro 🧅 and Peony Knight 🌸

Been busy casting Rabbit Guardian Jewelry Dishes (available at lumecluster.com/collections/wonderlands-collection) so I had to make some mini knights too ⚔️

Wish I'd tried cold casting these figures earlier. Burnishing the raised edges to add more highlights is so satisfying.

Wonderlands Collection In an increasingly fractured world, the Wonderlands Collection offers story-rich, protective jewelry to shield the soul. Created by Melissa Ng in collaboration with her sister, art toy designer Fiona Ng, these intimate pieces draw inspiration from tales like Alice in Wonderland, Winnie the Pooh, and Journey to the West. Wonderlands urges us to protect diverse storytelling, compassion, and the courage to dream of better wonderlands together. Read the backstory here.

These pieces are now available at Lumecluster.com

The past year, I've been working on a few jewelry designs for Lumecluster's Wonderlands Collection. You can see some WIPs in the #jewelry tag I've been using.

Finally took some time to clean up this knight casting from earlier this year. Wanted to take a nice photo of it before I added anything else

A couple of cold cast bronze pieces, Hawthorn and a Rose Knight.

The Hawthorn figure is actually a jewelry tray that will be a part of Lumecluster's upcoming Wonderlands Collection, releasing August 9 (https://www.lumecluster.com).

I often used my Rose Knight molds as a dumping ground for excess resin and now have a bunch of unfinished ones in the workshop. Might clean some up and put them in the shop (including these cold cast bronze pieces)

Missed out on the first run of Black Series Darth Nihilus, but I'm glad Hasbro put out a second run

It's been a couple years since I've posted a new toy photo, but I just got my Black Series Malak and had to take a few shots with Revan.

Revan's so short 😆

Posted a prototype of this prunus curio shelf design earlier this year, and here's the (mostly) final pendant design in bronze.

It's a companion piece to the Hawthorn curio pendant (right side), both of which will be part of the upcoming Lumecluster Wonderlands Collection releasing August 9.

The other two pendants on the left are Lumecluster 's Sovereign Dreamer and Vessel of Hope pendants (available now at www.lumecluster.com/collections/dreamer-collection)

The Hawthorn curio pendant has so many tiny accessories in it, I needed some to fit the vinyl version too. So here's a fancy little book. 📚

Hawthorn caught a falling star 🌠

A couple of Hawthorns in silver and bronze, reading in their little curio shelves 📚

Part of the upcoming Lumecluster Wonderlands Collection ✨️

Finished sanding and priming all 14 pieces for this 3" Hawthorn the Adventurer figure, and also made a couple more faceplates with different expressions.

Tedious work but satisfying to see it all fit together.

Finally on to moldmaking then~

Spring showers and a busy bee.

Took this video a couple years ago and had it sitting in drafts since then. Since rhododendrons are blooming now, thought I'd finally post it.

[darthasterisk]

Made a cold cast bronze casting of my Adventurer Dahlia Knight and let Lumecluster make a patina experiment out of it.

Love the result. It's so crunchy 😆

[darthasterisk]

Stumbling through the work day.

[darthasterisk]

Needed a more efficient way to paint my Hawthorn figures, so I cut up the model into a number of parts and will be making molds of them after some more cleanup.

Having so many separate parts will make it easier to paint or cast in various resin colors 🤔

Happy Star Wars Day! May the 4th be with you :)
