Portfolio - Tumblers

These three tumblers were orders from different customers that came in at about the same time.

My desk absolutely looked like a crime scene when I was done with the bloody drips on the Jack the Ripper tumbler.

I had fun figuring out how to make the clouds going across the moon on the Sailor Moon tumbler not be too opaque and still look cloud-like. I think I was successful.

The blingy watermelon was a

This customer asked for a set of 4 custom tumblers, each themed around a a different Final Fantasy villain.

I airbrushed the lens flare and the lightning, then went back over the lightning with glow-in-the-dark paint. This was my first time using an airbrush or leafing foil on a tumbler.

Hubby digitally sculpted and 3D printed a couple gems that I then made a silicon mold of. I used that to make the

Hubby found a STL file of 4 Vesta, the largest asteroid visible to the naked eye here on earth and modified it so it could be a topper. I used glow-in-the-dark and neon pigments to make it look hot and molten inside the cracks, and sealed it with a thin coat of epoxy.

This was my first attempt at airbrushing flames. Not too bad, but I've since improv

I struggled to get the actual fishnet stocking to cooperate as I encased it in resin, but it turned out fantastic in the end.

This customer is a librarian and wanted something fun to use at work.

I found the most dull "rules for reading" available on the public domain and put that behind the cutouts of the castle and flying dragon. I like how the dichotomy of high fantasy and dull academia in libraries is represented in this way. I airbrushed  the pretty sunset background.

I cast lightweight spackling compound in silicon
