Trinket #141 - Braaaains Brooch

After a week of mass hysteria about the supposed rapture this weekend and a Saturday crammed full with kids' soccer games, Civil War reenactments, and even a bit of carpet shampooing - I'm officially exhausted. How exhausted, you ask? So much so that I started to wonder if I had fallen victim to the Zombie Apocalypse without realizing it.

I made this little brain (1.5 inches by 1 inch) from pearl white FIMO and gave it a nice glaze with some acrylic "blood". I finished it off with a pin back and passed the zombie test when it didn't whet my appetite one bit! I'm looking forward to wearing it to my next business meeting or otherwise serious outing.

Trinket #113 - Faux Copper Cuff

In the spirit of change, I switched things up again today and made a bracelet with FIMO. This is their copper from the FIMO Metallics line. No, it's not a true copper tone, but I like it because it matches my hair. The texture on the cuff was made by rolling a relief-carved goblet across it before baking. Though it didn't pick up the botanical images from the relief, it does look sort of distressed or hammered, which I think is pretty cool.
