PROP MAKING
AZTEC PIRATE COINS
These aztec pirate coins were casted in black pigmented polyurethane resin inside a two part silicone mould before being painted with dark brown washes and gold and silver dry brushing and finished with a clear lacquer to replicate an ancient, dirty metallic look.

PANCAKES
This stack of pancakes were created by pouring polyurethane foam into the bottom of a wax-prepped tub to contain the rounded shape of real pancakes. They were then individually painted with a PVA glue and acrylic paint mix to create the pan-toasted look before being hot glued together in a stack and covered in a off-yellow tinted resin to re-create syrup and topped with 3D printed and painted berries and cream.

WAND
This wand was sculpted from sculpey clay over a brass wire armature before being textured with wire brushes, scalpels and tinfoil then painted, washed and dry brushed with browns, greens, blacks and burnt umber to recreate a fallen stick.
I accompanied this wand with a small wire spider which I attached a ball of sculpey to represent the body, primed in black and covered in dark brown hair fibres which I had cut from a make-up brush.
To connect the two together I embellished the wand with fake cobweb strings made from UHU glue.
