From the vault //037 - “The Memory Keeper” Part 2: Assembling the Chaos ⚔️🦚 The Memory Keeper” (Part 2) — Assembling the chaos. ⚔️🦚

Picking right back up with the uni vault archives! Once all the raw components were prepped for this Year 1 project, it was time to turn a mountain of loose clutter into a structured wearable piece.
Hand-wrapping peacock and pheasant feathers with wire caps
Drilling out vintage coins to build custom chain links
Weaving and locking the heavy brass and copper scaffolding together
Watching all these completely unrelated salvage pieces lock into place on the torso layout was the best part of the build. King Tut would definitely be jealous of this one.

From the Vault // 035 ✍️✍️

Two hands, two pens, one continuous line... and somehow we ended up with Jesus. 🤷‍♂️🎨

Testing out a bit of ambidextrous line drawing on the bench today. Pure brain training or complete chaos? You decide.

We’re picking up momentum again, and that handcrafted ring giveaway is right around the corner! Make sure you’re following and locked into the comments so you don’t miss your chance to win some original designs. 💎✨

What should I attempt to draw two-handed next? 👇

From the Vault 📹// 035 🐮✨
Taking a step back into the clay archives today before the uni project archives kick in! Highland cows, bright colors, and classic bench chaos. Each family member got one of these for a Christmas gift… think I made nine of them!! all different styles, even had a little personalised bell with their initial ❤️
Which color combo is winning for you—the neon pink or B&W or traditional ginger? 👇

Today’s upload, “part 2” to the woven ring //034📹🛠️✨
Fresh off the bench! Polished up that woven copper ring to a high shine to match yesterday’s piece. From raw copper sheet and wire to a finished, heavy statement ring.
Let me know what you think of the final look down in the comments! 👇

Fresh off the Bench // 📹033 🛠️
Instead of delving into the vault today, here’s a fresh insight into what’s currently on the bench! 🔨✨
A heavy copper pair inspired by classic keeper ring design. Working with copper is just incredible—that raw, filed-back shine is truly unique once you bring out the highlights.
I’m sorting out something very similar to this set for an upcoming giveaway soon, so stay tuned for your chance to win some of these handcrafted designs!
Which piece would you wear first—the cuff or the ring? 👇

From the Vault // 031📹: -Portrait Coraline Doll (Part 1)
When the Coraline doll trend hit, as a clay artist, I took it as a personal challenge! Meet my custom self-portrait puppet. 🧵🪡
Hand-sculpted head with button eyes, my actual haircut fade, ear piercings, and exaggerated caricature features. I even built a poseable wire armature inside a hand-sewn fabric body to give him proper stop-motion figure energy.
And of course, he couldn’t wander around without his companion: a custom miniature sculpture of my dog, finished off with a wash of actual leftover coffee for texture! ☕🐶
Stick around for Part 2 to see the full body assembly! Sculpting StopMotionArt

From the Vault // 030: The Golden Monstera (Part 2 - The Final Reveal)
Vault #030 milestone! 🎉
Part 2 of the Golden Monstera build—and ah, voilà! Here is the final piece fully assembled and on display. 🌿✨
Every single leaf was individually hand-sculpted with detailed fenestrations, baked, dusted with a pearlescent shine, and tipped in gold leaf before being wired into a full, houseplant arrangement.
The ultimate zero-maintenance houseplant that stays shining forever. 🪴

From the Vault // 029: The Pearl & Gold Monstera (Plus Studio Archive Tour!)
One of my absolute favorite plant sculptures to come out of the studio! 🌿✨
This delicate little Monstera was sculpted out of polymer clay, finished with a subtle pearl lustre, and individually tipped in gold leaf.
While consolidating and photographing all my work for university applications, I panned across the bench to capture years’ worth of finished builds sitting side-by-side. Seeing the wands, sci-fi figures, and the Elemental Goddess all lit up together proves one thing: I really am going to have to open a museum at this rate! 🏛️🎨
