Polymer Clay Octopus ATC

Art Completed Projects

Moving some of my fave projects from Deadster over here on LC. Sadly, I have yet to use any more of those metal ATC bases and I still have them. I think I need to revisit this technique!

Original post

I have a set of blank metal ATC cards and thus far have had no idea what to do with them. When I decided to make an ATC using polymer clay, however, I discovered the metal cards are PERFECT as a base!

I molded the octopus directly onto the metal and added little metal gears, then baked the whole thing. The octopus popped off cleanly and I was able to paint the ATC base, add paint and detail to the octopus and then glue the whole thing together.

I love the result and will definitely be sculpting some more ATCs soon! This was created for Wulf in the Happy Mail Swap.
