Brokenhearted Gloom Handmade Clay Keychain

Hello, how are you? This week has been a hell for me and making me feel unproductive and productive at the same time and for sure I need to touch some grass to ease this tightness I feel on my chest to comfort myself I made Gloom because the mood is very gloomy this week and I wanted a Heartbroken Gloom this time and I have this idea of what if that broken heart have like a stapler and to make it better I added fake blood in the middle of it to make it more realistic and I really like to experiment and I did.

So today I am going to make Brokenhearted Gloom, and I really enjoy making it.

---

Materials I Used:

---

Craft Time!

First is to condition the clay with my hand to make the texture smooth.

---

Shape it and smooth it around my hand, and then, using my needle tool, I shape it into a heart shape.

---

It doesn’t have to be perfect, and just make it heart shape, and then using my metal ball, I made a dent using it to where Gloom’s head will be placed.

---

And then, back with the needle tool, I added a cut texture around the heart. This is where I am going to add those stapler pieces and fake blood.

---

For the stapler pieces, I use the eye pins and then bend and cut them using my two pliers.

---

After bending, I cut it with pliers.

---

And then one by one, I added it onto the cut I made earlier. Set it aside for later.

---

For the head of Gloom, I used a skin tone clay and then conditioned it just like I did earlier.

---

Shape into a bean-like shape.

---

And then I grab the heart I made earlier and put the head I made onto the dent I made earlier.

---

And I made a map of the part of his face using my dotting tool.

---

To make the eyes, eyebrows, and lips, I use this clay cutter to make them of an equal size.

---

Then I added the eyes one by one.

---

Then the eyebrows.

---

For the lips, I use a pastel pink clay and then shape it into a triangle, and then put those on the face.

---

And then I cut just the bottom part, just half of it, using my X-Acto Knife.

---

For the lips, I roll a thin clay and cut it, and I put on one by one.

---

I added the blush. I use soft pastels and a brush. I apply it to both cheeks and nose.

---

Then I added the eyepin.

---

Bake the clay in a preheated oven, then set the timer and temperature to what the instructions on the back of the packaging say.

---

To make the fake blood, I mix a dark red and a UV Resin and apply it using a toothpick, and then cure it under a UV Lamp for a few minutes.

---

This is what it looks like.

---

And then, to make the clay charm shine, I use UV Resin and apply it with a nail polish brush.

---

And then cure under UV Lamp for a few minutes or until it is no longer sticky.

---

Then lock it using my pliers.

---

I hope you like it!
