EDIT: this little pendant is now up for sale on etsy
I’ve been toying around with the idea of creating a salamander for a while now and I finally got down to it! Where I grew up these beautiful creatures are native, although rare, and I loved watching them whenever I got the chance. When working on this one I was once again fascinated by the pattern, as it looks as if paint was just blotched down on the back and I’m really looking forward to revisit this motive and approach it a little more artistically.
He was sculpted from just one piece of fimo without any prebaking, which was a little stressful as the Fimo was quite soft which in turn made it hard to put down all the details. I’m not entirely happy with how the nose turned out, but I do think he turned out really cute!
The pendant is from a lovely etsy-shop called artbase and is made from real mahogany. The salamander himself is, as I said, from Fimo and sits on various little stones, sand and modelling moss. The globe has a diameter of 25mm.For more pictures please visit my tumblr.
