Time for a new entry for a Mixels contest...only it's not a Mixel, it's a Ceramic Figure! This style of lighter outlines was really neat!
The Aligatcorn ceramic figure is what happens when you mix a mythical creature with a real one, and you get this adorable, if not a bit bitey, combo! Of course, we all know that Alicorns are real, who has ever heard of an alligator in Mixopolis?
A little seal family!
All three of these little ones have sold and are now in their new homes ^v^
If you're interested in getting a ceramic figure of your own beloved little friend, or your favourite animal, send me an ask or message me for commission info!
hobby crafts and great and everyone should get into a hobby craft, but I really really really really need people to do at least a little bit of research into what they’re interested in and learn important things such as that fact that polymer clay, air-dry clay, and resin are NOT food safe. yes that includes clay that’s been coated in a clear coat like mod podge (the dishwasher safe mod podge is not food safe)
the reason that some* ceramics are food safe is because glazes melt into essentially a thin layer of glass on the surface, and the clay is heated to a temperature that vitrifies it. and I say some because not all ceramics/glazes/firing temps are food safe, and that’s a whole other deep dive of research for people who get into ceramics. but the point is that most people can’t do that at home, so they look into non-ceramic materials and assume that’s a cheaper and easier way to make food-safe items, when really what’s going to happen is all these materials will leach into your food, especially with heat applied
also can resin creators wear proper PPE with gloves and respirator, I am begging you, that shit is toxic to touch and inhale
