I did some air dry clay stuff yesterday! A new statuette for Hermes, a set of knucklebones, some coins to use for delphic maxims (using a binary system suggested here), and a donkey figurine for Hephaestus. They're currently out on the back porch because there's not a whole lot of space for them to sit in the house without potentially being in foot traffic, but I'm gonna bring them in soon because my housemates are going to all have gone to work and it's gonna rain this afternoon.

#I'm surprised I was able to finish the sculpting for Hermes's statue in one go #I thought it was gonna be like with Hestia's where I made the core first and then added onto it in another one-two sculpting sessions #who knows I may still end up doing some adjusting on Friday (when it'll be dry)#but as of know the plan is to gesso it then so I can paint it #the donkey makes me so happy lol. it's a little guy!!!#and the knucklebones were fun to make. might be something to add to the etsy if they hold up to being used (a little nervous that they'll be #fragile b/c. you know. air dry clay)#the statuette is part of a promised offering #I'd asked for help finding a job/source of income that would allow me to support myself/be comfortable financially since I had to leave my #last one when moving #I felt that I should get started on it back in June when I did a tarot pull asking him for guidance re: jobs #even though I didn't have anything lined up yet except for working on my Etsy #I had given myself a 3 month window to complete the statuette when I promised it & I'm glad I did b/c executive dysfunction has ✨ hands ✨#still nothing yet but ive continued to get comforting/reassuring tarot pulls and I'm waiting to hear back about an editing test for a job #that would be SO up my alley it's insane. and I've been chipping away at a couple other projects #and a side job (1-3 hours/week) should give me the income boost I need to pay rent this month #combined w/ my deposit from my last place #helpol #hellenic polytheism #hellenic pagan #hermes #theoi #theoi worship #hephaestus #coriander says #hellenisticismos #hellenisticism #pagans of tumblr #handmade offerings #*as of now
