Green Chili Gloom Handmade Clay Keychain

Hello, how are you? I’ve been so obsessed with eating spicy food lately, and I can’t stop eating it, sometimes adding extra chilis makes you eat more.

Whenever I cook a meal with chilis on it, especially green, I tend not to eat it. But to my surprise, I really do like green chilis, and I just eat with when it fried with the wrapper the one with cheese in it we call it “Dynamite” hehehe.

So yeah, I decided to make one using clay before I made Red Chili Gloom, but why not make Green Chili Gloom too? So I did.

---

Materials I Used:

---

Craft Time!

I am going to use this lime green clay for Chili Gloom because it is close to the color of green chilis we have, and then I will condition the clay.

---

Shape the clay into a green chili, I suggest you search for the shape of a green chili to make the process easier.

---

I place the Green chili into an acrylic stamping block and then, using my metal ball, I add a dent for the Gloom head for later. Set it aside for later.

---

For the top part of the chili, I use a little darker green for it, and then I push that clay onto a metal ball to create a dent in the middle just like the top part of a chili.

---

This is what it looks like, and then I grab the chili I made earlier and combine the two.

---

Using the needle, I added texture to the green chili.

---

Then I added a little bit of shading using soft pastel and a brush.

---

For the head of Gloom, I used a skin tone and then shaped it into a bean-like shape.

---

And then I put that head onto the dent of chili. Then I added a map of the part of the face using a dotting tool.

---

I added the part one by one, I first added the eye, what I do is I roll or cut a small clay and shape into a small ball and then put those onto he map I did earlier one by one.

---

Same as for the eyebrows.

---

For the nose, I use pastel pink clay and shape it into a triangle and put the clay onto the face. To make it look like a nose, I cut just the bottom part of the clay using an X-Acto Knife.

---

For the mouth, I rolled clay the same as the one I use for the eye and eyebrows, but this time rolled it into a thin line and then cut the size I wanted, and then I added those one by one using an X-Acto knife.

---

For the blush, I use a pinkish soft pastel and a brush. I apply it on both cheeks and nose.

---

Then I added the eyepin.

---

It is time to bake the clay and make sure to set the time and temperature according to the packaging of the instructed. Let the clay cool down.

---

To make the clay shiny and with extra protection, I am going to apply a UV Resin and apply it using a nail polish brush.

---

Cure it under a UV Lamp for a few minutes.

---

To add the keychain, I put the jump ring into the eyepin.

---

And then lock it using pliers, make sure to use two different types.

---

Green Chili Gloom! I hope you like it!
