Following on from my post yesterday, I decided to break out the Fimo clay for my Mario week post. Now, these are the first things I have ever made in Fimo clay and I'm the first to admit they don't look amazing. But like I said, it's my first shot so I'm hoping to get better.
I decided to make a Mario mushroom and a Piranha Plant as I thought they would be quite easy to make out of clay. I went for a flat look instead of 3D and decided to make them into fridge magnets by gluing magnets on the back after they had been cooked in the oven and then cooled.
So like I said, not drop dead amazing but I'm happy with them. I love trying new things, I'm glad I finally broke out the clay and dived into something different to take part in Wild Olive's Mario week. And now I know how it works and stuff, hopefully I can get better and make neater things in the future.
And here they are on the fridge!
Hi Kim
ReplyDeleteYour first dabble at Fimo looks great. I am loving the mushroom.
Thanks! It's so much fun :)
ReplyDeleteKim,
ReplyDeleteJust popped over from Wild Olive and these are very nice. Your technique will improve with time and practise just like you said but these are a great start. Since you are into so many things, as listed in your title section, have you checked out Epbot and/or Cake Wrecks? Two awesome sites by the same couple - Jen and John Yates. Highly recommend.
I enjoyed your posting and will be back. Personally, I was into Zelda. :)

Hey thanks for dropping by! Yeah I've seen cake wrecks, so funny, but I've not actually heard of the other one! I'll check it out.
ReplyDeleteThanks :) x
