This is a jellyfish ornament made of clay for a clay contest sponsored by Catharsis JB [link] .
From tip to tip the jellyfish measures 6cm x 9.5cm (approximately 2.33 x 3.75 inches), with a weight that is too small to measure on a kitchen scale. The jellyfish is composed of Premo Sculpey clay in the following colors: Glow-in-the-Dark 5703 Translucent 5310 Ultramarine Blue 5563 Purple 5513 Sea Green 5305 There is one piece of metal in the ornament and that is the 24 gold (plated) hook on the top. (The tentacles have no wire in them...they are formed completely out of clay). The jellyfish is fairly translucent much like a real jellyfish. It is not as fragile as I expected (something I found out when I accidentally dropped it from high up and it bounced). Because of the number of prototypes made to get to this point I will not post the hours it took...but it sure was a lot, lot, LOT longer than I expected. Now for a description of the photos. Starting with the smallest picture in the upper left corner and going clockwise. 1. Natural light top 2. Natural light bottom 3. Held up against a light to show translucency 4. Natural light close up of top 5. Glow-in-the-dark looking somewhat down 6. Black light looking somewhat down 7. Natural light looking somewhat down 8. Black light tentacles 9. Black light top 10. Natural light close up of translucent top 11. Natural light close up of edge 12. Black light underbelly (looking up) 13. Black light side/looking up view 14. Glow in the dark side view 15. Black light/Natural light combination side view 16. Natural light side view Center: Natural light Although most jellyfish live in the water this one is destined for our Christmas tree as I feel that there are far too few jellyfish ornaments. |
