Clay's is very subtle and so pretty and painstakingly made (thanks for the accompanying story about her, clay!).

Nanner's… your mermaid is just darling! :stillheart:

I love the mermaid you created for me! Thank you so very, very much! :)


What an awesome summer project and such a delight to see everyone's creative talent! :bunchflowers:
YVW & thank you for the compliments on Meri! I spent hours gluing each individual seed bead onto her tail...:). I enjoyed writing her story, too!

This WAS one of the most fun projects we have done in quite a long time! I hope to do some more using CCB's parameters, going forward.

I am excited to hear new ideas for our next one also.!

Gemme 09-15-2018 08:40 PM
Hey, y'all! I have a formed idea now. Anyone else have something in mind?

Me TOO!!!!!!! Extra excitement for ten characters LOL.

Awesome! My idea is in the early stages but what do you think about this?

Create Your Own Creature

I'd already thought about something like this before but clay mentioned wanting to do something similar to the Mermaid Project again and this felt right.

Basically, the core of the idea is to create a brand new creature using at least 2 recognizable features of other creatures, animals, beings or entities. For example, you can take the wings of a Pegasus and the head of a lion, like a different version of a Hippogriff, or you can put human legs on a mermaid torso and the face of an antelope. The options are, literally, endless.

You would even name your creation!

Here's an article about fantasy creatures to give you an idea of what can be mixed and matched. You can also do it PFA style and randomly attach body parts that seem interesting to you and see what happens.

Here's a link to a page about mythical and fantasy creatures for inspiration. This page has tons of links to tons of creatures and critters so it's an excellent resource.

For those feeling experimental, you can use more than 2 but I didn't want to overwhelm anyone. The genius of this project is that it doesn't matter what the end result looks like. Who's going to tell you that you didn't do it right if it's an imaginary creature of your own making? lol

I haven't worked out sizing, materials, et cetera, but wanted to test the water temperature with y'all.

So, what do you all think? Is it something you would be interested in trying?

I would totally be down for this. I've actually been thinking of painting some mythical creatures anyways. I think it's a great and fun idea!

ETA: Just so I understand human features don't count as one of the "creatures", correct?

Humans are animals, though, so I'd think they'd count as one, but let's see what the Gemme Creature has to say.

nanners 09-16-2018 02:40 PM
Interesting idea Gemme! So, the first thing that came to mind was creating something with polymer clay. If so, making just one would be great, and we could do it like the mermaid one on that respect.

nycfem 09-16-2018 03:21 PM
I’d rather not do clay but wouldn’t mind receiving something that was Clay.

candy_coated_bitch 09-16-2018 04:15 PM
I'd rather not do clay either.

The great and powerful nyc is correct. Humans are the least humane animals in this world but we are, indeed, animals.

I have no issues with clay as long as the additional mailing cost was factored into the equation. In fact, I was going to suggest that if someone felt like making their piece more dimensional, they could.

However, I really, really like having the individual pieces in hand. I don't know if some of you know this, but I like to put some of our projects in books, shadow boxes and frames. They are so lovely when a group is put together so you can see the variety of our imaginations. That's harder to do when some are flat and some are dimensional.

Given the nature of the beast, so to speak, I'd allow for plenty of time to get enough pieces done and would impose a set limit so it wouldn't get ridiculous (although I can imagine this wouldn't appeal to all of our crafters).

nycfem 09-16-2018 05:47 PM
That all sounds good to me. I would like to make one for everyone which I think is what you are suggesting?

Yes. Exactly.

candy_coated_bitch 09-16-2018 07:18 PM
I agree to making an individual creation for every participant as long as there's a reasonable cap. I know limiting the numbers does not appeal to some, but due to the nature of the beast, I think it's necessary here.

candy_coated_bitch 09-16-2018 08:00 PM
Oh, also I'd be happy to RECEIVE something made of clay. I just don't want it to be my personal medium.

Gemme 09-16-2018 08:19 PM
Hey, all.

clay isn't feeling well and would appreciate any support we could send hys way. Just wanted to give a head's up in case y'all were wondering where the clayster went.

candy_coated_bitch 09-16-2018 08:27 PM
I've lit a candle and sent mad juju hys way.

sis 09-17-2018 03:28 PM
First, please let Clay know that I am also sending good energy and and healing thoughts ...... I hate to hear that Clay isn't doing well!

Secondly, I'm interested in this particular exchange although I need more details. I was thinking it would be similar to the mermaid project and only one item would be produced. My forming idea is one which would involve a sewing machine and stuffing which would require it to be sent directly to the person receiving it due to shipping costs. Again, these are my thoughts and not expectations.

Deb :tea:

FireSignFemme 09-17-2018 09:18 PM
I'm not up for doing a one for everyone thing, but the way it was done last time - one piece for one person and then photocopies to everyone else, that would be doable.

Gemme 09-17-2018 09:23 PM
Nope. Not a one off like the Mermaid Project. I was taking inspiration from the whole fantasy creature idea and the actual focus of the project. That's the similarity I was drawing from. I understand the desire to make only one but that's not where I'm at with this project.

If everyone is fine with me at the helm this time, I'll finalize the details and get a sign up list ready in the next day or two. If so, and I limit the sign up to no more than 7, what is the time frame everyone would be most comfortable with?
