A celphone charm of a paopu fruit, a popular icon from the Kingdom Hearts videogame.
I made this for for Christmas :3
Made with Cernit polymer clay, dusted with pearlescent mica powder. Accented with a swarovski crystal.
where do you find "Cernit polymer clay" and "pearlescent mica powder"?
and can you substitute sculpy for Cernit polymer clay? and wha ttools do you use to mold the shape so perfectly?
If you google "cernit" online, you'll be able to find a variety of online stores that sell it.
Cernit is a brand of polymer clay, I think it's Swiss or German-made, I forget which. They're essentially the same thing (aka polymer clay) but every brand has different consistencies. For example, Sculpey III is easy to work with - you can smear it, and it retains its solid shape if you leave it alone. Cernit is harder to work with - it's rubbery, not like the clay-likeness of Sculpey, and if you overwork it it starts to lose its shape in some places. Though, the benefit of Cernit is that it doesn't smear, so it can take details well, though that depends on how malleable it is.
You can also find mica powder online, if you google it. You will probably see a few brands, but the most popular is called PEARL-FX or something like that.
Tools are pretty generic - you can use whatever tools you like, or the standard clay/sculpting tools. I know that a lot of experts actually make their own tools, from nails or blunt knives, etc. etc. For the paopu fruit, I started with a ball, pinched in the 5 points, and had one hell of a time because it was cernit and I was waaay overworking it =_= I used a blunt straight-edge tool to further sharpen the points.
aw man, i wish they'd sell polymer clay here in our country too...i don't think we have it here. i envy you. >__<
you mold the clay onto the keychain metal itself? or you mold it then you attach it?

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
