Face hugger

i was fist informed about the south shields exhibition through my tutor at the time i knew instantly i wanted to create this monumental peace of famous TV history for all to enjoy. 

in creating this fragile peace i started with the body and worked on getting all the detail i could to as close to the ones weave all admired on screen, working with super sculpey a cook-able hard drying clay I've found to be so efficient in the molding structural integrity before and after being cooked and best of all light weight perfect for moving and can be put on top of almost every type of platform with no worry of collapse, super sculpey is also a perfect alternative to clay when making a variety of molds not including plaster molds unless done in specific way to keep the core intact.

  

working with super sculpey has been one of my more pleasant experiences with oven drying clay's and i would recommend it to future model makers.

 (Remember to keep price in mined)

the face huger itself was made with pure super sculpey and wire in the arms leading into the body to hold the shape of the legs and so that it could hold its own weight as it stood. 

Ridley Scott exhibition South Shields egg

the egg for the Ridley Scot exhibition was different in the sens it was had to get the right shape of the egg at the same time the time was moving on at this point. 

the quickest solution as you see was obtaining a chocolate egg eat the chocolate! most important part. 

I then used the older as a mold to cast the two half and glue them together then it was just a matter of adding detail such as the opening layers and the tentacles coming from the base of the egg.

the weight of the egg is a bit more than what i would have liked for moving sake but with time limit and budget you can only do so much with what you have.

under neath are the finished results after painting and exhibited in the south shields museum next to a signed scrip by Ridley Scott himself. 

this project was quite the undertaking but I'm proud to of had my work exhibited right next to the grate Ridley Scott in exhibiting an iconic movie that shocked children to this day  and had gone down in movie history that revolutionized an era. 

cake toppers

cake toppers 

creating cake toppers as a free lance molder has given me the opportunity to create some weird and wonderful peaces such as the cakes bellow.

slytherin harry potter cake

working on this slytherin harry potter cake with the basilic was alot of fun aspeshaly as you can eat the basilic made or purely icing with no added ingredients except for the coloring. the added shine came from shaping the icing. as I've had comments asking if it was coated or plastic.

nightmare before Christmas cake

this nightmare before Christmas cake figures were made with oven bake clay called Fimo good for creating the intricate detail on the individual details. only problem i had with this product was the weight of it all even with wiring it was still hard to control them standing thus i had to change the positions of the figures to sitting down. in all it was a good product but the weight let it down over all unless you are to cook a figure in peaces then glue it together. but this is still to be tested at a later date.  

dragon cake topper 

 the dragon cake topper was made of pure icing except for the horns witch had tooth picks in to keep the balance when on show tooth picks were also added to the wings as well. the icing was lased with tylose a thinking agent that would allow the icing to set more quickly this was needed as due to the heat that day the icing had become more sticky and harder to control at the time. when the tylose was added it docent sink in strate away witch causes even grater loss of control of the icing until it contains the right consistency to become more moldebal.

hong kong fuey

hong kong fuey is my most resent of work created with icing tylose and tooth picks to keep the structural integrity as with him standing the icing needed to set quickly in place so that it would keep its shape even on top of the cake. this was a fun project as hong kong fuey being a iconic cartoon character i felt it was only right to do him justice.
