If you're new to my tumblr you've probably not seen this process before. I make all of my models for pewter and metal casting by hand. Sometimes it's Monster Clay but my preference is actually for jeweler's wax. I've been carving for at least five or six years now and feel like I'm just now getting really competent at it. This little coelacanth is about an inch and a half long and will be turned into a little freestanding figure and a pendant when done. I've still got a ways to go but all the big shapes are there.

Opaque and marine for the pretty word asks!!

✨Marine: Favorite sea animal?

ooooh. my first instinct is to say seals. but there are so many interesting sea creatures! like sea slugs and coelacanth and octopods and. idk if birds count but albatross? majestic!

✨Opaque: Do you wear any jewelry?

yeah! i have a bunch of bronze pendants on leather cords:

a bronze unicorn in a circle

a bronze blackbird claw

a bronze replica of a coin from Haithabu (the viking city in Denmark)

a bronze bird skull my friends gifted me (they know me well ;)

a silver trans symbol in a triangle

a small spool for sewing machine thread on a silver chain

a silver ankh bc i used to be obsessed with Egyptian mythology

a laser cut acrylic faerie on sage green thread (from layaroseart on etsy)

also spikey collars, one with alternating short - long - short silver spikes and a D- ring and one with red spikes (all long).

i don’t have any piercings but i would love to wear certain earrings. like a dangly sword earring (my inner sword bisexual is showing✌️) or a single dragonfly wing!

and sometimes i wear bracelets that i made from little glass beads and letter beads (with corresponding colours obviously)! i have:

one that says "COWBOY" (brown-gold-ish)

a "SNEET SNART" one (trans colours)

a "CROW" one (black + gold accents)

a "MAGPIE" one (black, white + iridescent)

a "THEY THEM" one (forest green)

a "ZUKO" one (fire colours)

a "GOTH" one (black with iridescent beads)

a "BUTCH TWINK" one (pink + black)

oh i also have a couple rings but i don’t wear them that often. a black ace ring (made from a leather scrap) and a silver ring with red coral which is from my grandmother and only fits my pinky, a pair of filigran but thick "gold" rings.

you could say i love accessoires ;)
