Sailor Crystal Phoenix Brooch

This brooch was a trade commission with ~SailorCrystalPhoenix

The design for this character was created by *Nijikaze-KrisP and is shown here with permission. The top image on the right is the concept sketch for the brooch's design and the lower image it a photo of the final product.

This was the first time making something like this where I've had to actually completely re-do half of the item in mid-progress. At some point I realized that the entire left side was too high. @_@ So that was fun!

I like the addition of the gems in the white space, I think it activates it and makes the item look more magical.

Materials: polymer clay, acrylic paint, gold leaf paint, acrylic gemstones, hi-gloss acrylic spray, superglue :3
