Autumnal Wonder: Amanita Regalis Wreath & Quartz Crystal Alchemy
- Crafting this wonderful wreath demanded meticulous attention and time, taking approximately 9 hours to bring to life.
- Each Amanita mushroom has been delicately sculpted using Fimo polymer clay and takes roughly 3 1/2 hours to create both mushrooms. I like to sculpt their bases around some aluminium wire so that I can secure them to each wreath once complete.
- After the baking process, I water down some white acrylic paint and apply 4 layers to each mushroom stalk, skirt and gills. Watered down dark tones are added to areas to enhance details further.
- I then add another 4 layers of watered down beige to the mushroom hats, ensuring every coat of paint is fully cured before adding the next layer.
- The speckles are intricately painted onto the hat of the mushroom in a form that mimics the mushrooms natural white speckles. The whole painting process takes about 3 hours to complete.
- Once my replicated Amanita mushrooms are complete, I carefully secure them to these wonderful grape vine wreaths using their inner wire, adding Quartz crystal points and using Epoxy glue to help secure them. I have added my favourite artificial soil/moss mixture. This takes 2 hours, because I build up the layers to replicate the forests floors natural shape and form.
