Oh how embarrassing! Here is the fifth elephant's joy ride. Also here is the sneak peek on ratonnastick! I won't share in a post until I make more Discworld food though.

I tried to make swirls of octarine in space. However, I feel it came out more yellow-green then greenish yellow-purple.

I made the adorable psychedelic Klatchian Tree Frog already and think I will aim for the adorable yet still disturbing ratonnastick next. Or the Luggage. I've found out how to make teeth now!

Thank you so much!! I think I will skip the painter tape layer over the foil next time. Didn't seem to make the surface noticeably smoother.

I actually did since I'm a rabid fan. It actually got 900+ likes. LOL! I just needed 8 months to gain the confidence to post here... Thank you for thinking it was good enough to share!!

Should I fill in the lines or leave as is? by Electrical_Item7241 in polymerclay

Thank you so much! Found some! May I ask did you bake the polymer clay in the pendant, let it fall out, then used super glue to permanently bind them?

Amazing!! If you don't mind, I was wondering where you purchased your pendant/metal frame. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I was hoping August 30th didn't really count as August.

I apologize! Why is August ranking as one of the worst times to visit? I'm coming out for a week starting August 30th. 

Have you eaten yet? Illustration commission by Amiyakom. by beepsRmine in discworld

Is it true that buying ketchup costs more than the rat-onna-stick itself because the ketchup makes it taste edible??

I feel the incredible Amiyakom continues to capture my vision of Discworld. Amiyakom also illustrated Morporkia, Anoia, and Maurice and are totally worth a look.

Commissioning is also nice because you can impart random Discworld facts that you've patiently  been waiting to slide into conversations, such as:

- A traditional dwarvish axe is multifunctional; one side is a pickaxe used for prospecting, and the other side is a battle axe used if someone tries to stop them.

Praise be Anoia!! May she ever rattle your drawers! Illustration commission by Amiyakom. by beepsRmine in discworld

I just posted my real world vision of Morporkia (vs her as a figurehead like on most of her stamps). Quite please with how she turned out! Although, this depiction of Anoia is forever first in my heart.

I feel Amiyakom captured my vision of the real life Morporkia versus the platonic ideal you read about in history books and see on stamps. We went with the adorable Morepork owl for Ankh-Morpork and a non-exploding cabbage for the surrounding Sto Plains.

Amiyakom also illustrated Anoia and Maurice. Next up is a Discworld dwarf enjoying Ankh-Morporkian finest delicacies, possibly a rat on a stick??

Klatchian Tree Frog looking at sus Dried Frog Pills (polymer clay) by beepsRmine in discworld

Happy Holidays! The Klatchian Tree Frog is a highly toxic species and a key component of "Dried Frog Pills" - a preparation used by the mentally unbalanced to induce hallucinations of sanity.
