Okay, so yesterday I made what I will call a Fragon, and got to take him out of the kiln today.  What is a Fragon, you ask? Well, a Fragon is a cross between a Dragon and a Frog. 

He’s a cute little thing, though I am still trying to get the hang of getting nice color from my Terra. He was made on a base of CIM Ginger with Terra kind of swirled over it. I did get some color, though not exactly as much as I was hoping for. Still, I think he’s pretty darned cute with his pink little toenails and fingernails. What say you?

I also made a couple of goddesses yesterday following the very nice and funny CD Tutorial recently put out by Kevan Aponte and her husband Antonio. It’s an excellent Tutorial and I highly recommend it even if you already have the Goddess Tutorial by Lavendar Creek. Both are excellent tutorials but two very different techniques for making goddeses. You can find both tutorials, and many more by visiting us at http://www.torchbugs.com and checking out the tutorials section.

Now back to my goddesses. Well, unfortunately only one survived. The other one got stuck to the mandrel for some reason and wouldn’t come off without breaking. But, the other one did survive.  She is made with CIM Ginger which gives you the most perfect flesh color. Her, ahem, nipples are done with Terra which ended up darker than I was expecting, but oh well. Here she is, front and back.

 

Well my fiance, Ken, decided he wanted it so he could show it to all the guys at work (construction workers) so I threw together a little keychain for him with the goddess bead and a couple of beads I had in the Orphan box. And here is the result.

Well that’s it for now.
