A Wand For Your Thoughts.

So, for all you Harry Potter fans out there this is for you. As you all know the first of September was Hogwarts start of term, so being a big fan of the books I decided to make Sirius Black's wand.

The detail on this wand took me about three hours, but I love how it turned out and it was so much fun to make the little symbols.

The Elder Wand.

I wanted to try and make the elder wand so I could cosplay with it, so I just pulled up a reference photo sat down at my desk and got to work. It was really hard getting the color right I went through so many different shades of paint, the only thing I'm not really happy with on it is the little white part where the symbols are that part I made just a little bit too small and if I could go back and change it I would but then if I did then it wouldn't want to make me learn harder for the next time I tried.

Lord Voldemort's Wand. 

First off, I can't tell you just how hard it was to make that little pointy part it took so many tries to get to stick out like that.

Nevile Longbottom's Wand

So here I have Nevile's wand and I'm just going to say that while making this I got super frustrated, I didn't have enough clay for the whole wand so that's why it looks that way. And I was not very happy with how I did his handle, so here's how I get over my frustration.... I just work through it or I start over. Now as frustrating as that sounds I just work through it or again I get up and walk away for a small break than I sit down and try to focus, so right now I'm just trying to come up with new designs. And that's the fun! Getting to use my imagination, getting to be creative and that's why I love making things with polymer clay, there are just so many things that you can make and it's really amazing. So, in the end, we all know it's just a wand for your thoughts.
